Includes: 1 CoffeeSock Cold Brew Filter - Quart Size and 1 32 oz. mason jar

Instructions: Stretch filter over mouth of jar. Grind 1 cup (3 oz. by weight) of your favourite coffee to a medium/coarse grind.

Sprouted farro (also known as emmer) is an ancient variety of wheat and is one of Second Spring's favourite grains to sprout and cook. Organic sprouted farro has a soft, chewy texture and a delicious nutty flavour.

Sprouted farro (also known as Emmer) is an ancient variety of wheat, but has its own distinct taste and texture. This hearty whole grain is an excellent source of protein and high in fibre. You may have seen farro somewhere recently as an up-and-coming trend, but it actually dates back to ancient Rome. It is still a staple in many parts of Europe, and farro risotto can be found on traditional menus across Italy. It has a delightfully chewy texture and nutty taste.

This farro has been through a slow soaking and sprouting period to aid in digestion, reduce cook time, and enhance its taste and texture. Soaking farro overnight is often recommended to reduce its cook time, but sprouted farro doesn’t require this step. Like other grains, it cooks by simply boiling in water.

It has a delightfully chewy texture and nutty taste that’s perfect in salads, side dishes and grain bowls. It’s heartiness means it never goes soggy when added to soups and and stews, and it also makes a great risotto. It can be swapped 1:1 for unsprouted farro, or as a substitute for other whole grains like rice or quinoa.

Cook Time: 30-40 minutes 
1. Rinse
2. In medium sized pot, mix 1 part Organic Sprouted Farro and 4 parts water.
3. Bring to vigorous boil.
4. Turn to LOW and simmer for 30-40 minutes or until desired texture is reached.
5. Using strainer, rinse with warm water.

Ingredients: Organic Sprouted Farro (Emmer)

Storage & Shelf Life:

After sprouting, we carefully dry the grains back down to their shelf stable moisture levels. This means you can store them as you would store unsprouted whole grains – in a cool, dry place. Once you cook your sprouted grains, they should be stored in an air-tight container in the fridge. Shelf life: 2 years

Organic Sprouted Second Spring Amaranth is naturally gluten free, with a fluffy texture and earthy taste. It’s an excellent source of protein and contains all 9 essential amino acids, making it a complete protein. This small but mighty seed is also a good source of iron and fibre. Cultivated for more than 8,000 years, amaranth was both a staple and ritual food for the Aztecs. It is a cousin to quinoa, spinach and beets – think of it as the earthy taste of beets with a texture like mini quinoa.

Sprouting amaranth aids in digestibility, reduces cook time, and enhances its taste and texture. Cooking sprouted amaranth is very easy, simply boil in water or broth.

Amaranth is delightful as a base for grain bowls, side dishes and patties, or as a topper for green salads. Because of its earthy taste, it pairs well with root vegetables and dark leafy greens. If you cook it a little longer it becomes a creamy (not mushy!) porridge, try adding other warm, earthy flavours like cinnamon and nut butter. You can also incorporate cooked amaranth into your muffins and quick breads for added flavour and texture.

No pre-soaking required! Sprouted black lentils get their dark colour from the same antioxidants found in dark fruit like blueberries and plums, and are a good source of fibre, protein and iron. They keep an “al dente” texture when cooked and have a subtle flavour that pairs well with aromatics like garlic and onion.

Second Spring sprouted black lentils cook very quickly, and are excellent at absorbing flavours. They are great in a variety of warm and cold dishes like salads and grain bowls, and hold up well in soups, stews and curries. Try replacing meat for a sprouted black lentil bolognese sauce or lasagne.

People tend to think of wheat as a flour, but this staple grain is just as delicious in its whole form. Organic sprouted wheat berries have a soft, chewy texture (similar to barley) and mild nutty flavour. This whole grain is high in dietary fibre, B1 and B3 vitamins, and other minerals such as magnesium and phosphorous. Second Spring source organically grown wheat berries from the Canadian prairies.

These wheat berries have been through a slow soaking and sprouting period to aid in digestion, decrease their cook time and improve their texture. Sprouting also reduces bitterness (saponin) from the outer layer of the seed, which enhances their light, sweet, nutty flavour. Like other grains, they are cooked by simply boiling in water.

They are perfect for salads, grain bowls, soups, stews, side dishes and even risotto. They can be swapped 1:1 for unsprouted wheat berries, or as a substitute for rice or quinoa. Because of their subtle taste, they compliment everything from bold salad dressings to a light dusting of cinnamon and dried fruit. For the home miller, sprouted wheat berries make a wonderful fresh flour for breads, muffins, pancakes, cookies and more.

Cook Time: 25-30 minutes 
1. Rinse
2. In medium sized pot, mix 1 part Organic Sprouted Wheat Berries and 4 parts water.

Vejibag is the healthy, eco-friendly alternative to plastic, for storing and preserving vegetables in the refrigerator. Stow all kinds of moisture-loving greens, carrots, celery and other produce to keep fresh and crisp for up to two weeks, by providing a humid environment that also breathes.

This large veggie-saving bag is the perfect size for kale, celery, zucchini, and leafy heads of lettuce or larger amounts of loose leafy greens!

How to Use: Vejibags create a superior way to care for fresh produce. Just like cut flowers, veggies need humidity and cool temperatures to stay vibrant and alive.

1) Wet the bag, then wring it out.

Care Instructions: Turn Vejibags inside out and launder with fragrance free detergent. Hang in the sun to dry or machine dry, expect 10% shrinkage the first time as this is a 100% cotton bag.

Second Spring sprouted chickpeas (also known as sprouted garbanzo beans) are a great choice for plant-based protein. They are high in fibre, an excellent source of protein and a good source of iron. Their tender, buttery texture and distinct earthy flavour is perfect for a wide variety of dishes.

It is widely recommended that you soak dried chickpeas overnight to reduce their cook time and ease digestive discomfort. Sprouted chickpeas have already been through a slow soaking, sprouting and drying process, so you can skip the pre-soaking step. This makes preparation much quicker and more convenient, no thinking ahead needed! Sprouting actually goes a step further than soaking to aid in digestion, reduce phytic acid, enhance their taste and texture, and cut their cook time in half. Cooking sprouted chickpeas is very easy, simply boil in water.

They are wonderful whole, pureed or roasted. Use for delicious creamy hummus, hearty salads, soups, curries and more. Roast with spices and enjoy as a crunchy snack or salad topper. You can even blend them with your morning smoothie to add a thick, creamy texture and a boost of nutrition.

Cooking Instructions

Cook Time: 70-80 minutes 
1. Sort and Rinse
2. In a large pot, mix 1 part Organic Sprouted Chickpeas with 6 parts water
3. Bring to vigorous boil for 10 minutes
4. Turn to LOW, cover and simmer for 60-70 minutes or until desired texture is reached
5. Strain any excess water and rinse with warm water.

Please Note: Sprouted Chickpeas have gone through a soaking, sprouting and drying process so some hulls will come off through the cooking process. This is normal.

Ingredients: Organic Sprouted Chickpeas

Storage & Shelf Life:

After sprouting, we carefully dry the beans back down to their shelf stable moisture levels. This means you can store them as you would store unsprouted beans – in a cool, dry place. Once you cook your sprouted pulses, they should be stored in an air-tight container in the fridge. Shelf life: 2 years
