- Thanks to the water pressure and increased volume, the seed breaks and allows the sprout to emerge.
- Five or at most six days will be enough to obtain sprouting.
- It will be useful to wait for a length of at least 1 cm before consuming them.
- It is always necessary to wash them before adding them to dishes, whether raw or cooked
