Incredible Clover Seeds

Clover, also known as trefoil, is an amazing plant that grows almost in every region of the planet.

Clover plants usually have red, purple, yellow, or white flowers. Despite slight nutritional differences, all of them can be good for you. Many farmers buy white clover seeds bulk because these greens are a fantastic animal feed. They are also a good plant for those who grow bees. White clover honey is one of the most common types available in stores today.

Food To Live Clover Seeds for Sprouting

Food To Live offers Clover Seeds that contain no pathogens, toxins, or GMO. They are completely free from any harmful contaminants, so you can enjoy them without worries. Clover sprouts will make a great addition to a healthy diet as they are packed with essential vitamins and minerals.

Food To Live Clover Seeds germinate well and will allow you to grow a batch of tasty green sprouts easily.

Benefits of Clover Seeds

Clover Seeds from Food To Live are rather versatile. The majority of people use them for sprouting. You can grow a batch of delicious and nutritious microgreens with these seeds.

Another use for clover plants is tea. People harvest the flowers, dry them, and brew like regular herbal teas.

Some people make red clover powder. You can make it either by drying and pulverizing the plants or by crushing the seeds. You can include it in a gluten-free baking mix.

If you grow your clover plants to the point of flowering, you can enjoy them raw. They say that white clover is the tastiest, but red clover is the healthiest.

Even the leaves of clover plants are edible. However, they are ‘an acquired taste’, so be careful. Young greens can be eaten raw in salads or sandwiches. Mature leaves should be cooked or steamed.

Dried clover can be used as a spice if you like the taste or for an extra nutritional boost in smoothies. Some people also make clover juice, but it tastes quite strange. The benefits it offers don’t exceed that of wheatgrass juice, so you can go with that.

Clover Seeds: Storage Guide

Food To Live Clover Seeds keep extremely well. You need to store them in an airtight container and away from direct sunlight and heat. This rule is the same for all seeds that you want to use for sprouting.
Note that you shouldn’t worry about the seeds being frozen in winter. In fact, you can store them in a freezer to extend shelf-life.

How to Sprout Clover Seeds

One of the main advantages of clover seeds is that they are very easy to sprout. If it’s your first time growing your own leafy green sprouts in a jar, clover would be a great choice. These microgreens are quite ‘resilient’ and don’t require any special equipment or conditions.

Food To Live Clover Seeds are made specifically for sprouting and have a very high germination rate. To turn them into healthy microgreens follow these steps:

Rinse and drain clover seeds (2 tablespoons).
It’s best to rinse them in a strainer under running water. This way, you’ll remove all dust and small debris.
Soak clover seeds in cool (60F) water for 8-12hours.
If you are going to sprout in a jar, just fill it with water to the brim. Stir the seeds, in the beginning, to provide they are distributed evenly.
Drain the seeds and rinse again.
Rinse carefully at this time and use cool water, about 60-70F. Then, drain thoroughly.
Set your clover seeds to sprout someplace out of direct sunlight.
If you use a sprouter, follow the instructions on distributing seeds in it. If you use a jar, cover it with a piece of muslin cloth and set it up at an angle. clover seeds can sprout anywhere as long as they don’t ‘burn’ in direct sunlight. All you need is to provide the sprouter/jar gets enough air. It must circulate through the seeds to prevent them from going moldy.
Rinse and drain your clover seeds every 8-12 hours.
It’s imperative to drain the seeds thoroughly every time! Too much moisture will result in bad sprouts and can cause mold.
Put your sprouts somewhere lighter on day 4.
Please note that you still must avoid direct sunlight. However, at this stage, your microgreens will require a bit more light to actually turn green. If there isn’t any suitable space at your home, expose the sprouter to an incandescent light (150W) for a few hours every day.
Harvest your clover sprouts.
On day 6, you should have perfectly delicious clover sprouts with tiny green leaves on top. You can remove seed hulls or eat the sprouts as they are. The hulls will reduce the shelf life of sprouts, so consider how fast you are going to eat them.

Green sprouts grown from clover seeds can be stored for up to five days. You must keep them in the fridge in an airtight container. You can eat your sprouts raw, cook them in stews, or steam them with veggies.

How to Use Clover Seeds

Clover seeds don’t offer many health benefits as seeds. However, once you sprout them, they become one of the best microgreens you can find. Spicy, crunchy, and juicy clover sprouts give you a huge boost of nutrition.

They look very similar to alfalfa sprouts, which many consider the healthiest, but clover sprouts are just as good.

They are very low in calories but high in:

Vitamin C
Folate
Iron
Calcium

Clover seeds and sprouts also serve as a great source of protein and dietary fiber. You can enjoy these tasty greens on any diet. The seeds are completely gluten-free.

Enjoying Clover Honey

You might have seen raw clover honey in stores and wondered how it’s different from regular honey. This type of sweetener is made by bees, just like any other type of honey. However, these bees were feeding from clover blossoms, so the taste and color of their ‘product’ is a bit special.

Raw clover honey is lighter in color and milder in taste. However, the exact flavor will depend on the type of clover. The color might also go up to rich-amber.
