A balanced blend of mung beans, fenugreek, green lentils, adzuki beans and chickpeas, selected for home sprouting for companion parrots.

Legume sprouts add plant protein, fibre and nutritional variety to a parrot’s diet. Sprouting changes the seed as it germinates, with research showing changes in nutrient composition and, in some legumes, improved mineral bioaccessibility and protein digestibility.

This mix is formulated as a separate legume blend because legumes have their own soaking, rinsing and germination needs. They are best sprouted separately from grain and microgreen mixes, which can differ in soaking time, moisture preference, germination rate and ideal harvest stage.

Our Legume Sprout Mix is intended to be used alongside—not in place of—your bird’s usual balanced diet. Offer sprouted legumes in amounts appropriate to the individual bird and the rest of its diet.

See our Sprouting Guide for soaking, rinsing, draining, storage and safe-feeding instructions.
