Guest guest Posted August 28, 2002 Report Share Posted August 28, 2002 does anyone here soak nuts and seeds? I'm soaking some now...have been for about 4 days, but they don't seem to be sprouting. I have been soaking almonds (about 4 days), sesame seeds and pumpkin seeds (3 days each). none are visibly sprouting. NT says almonds will be sprouted 1/8 inch long in 3 days, sesame seeds in 2-3 days, and pumpkin seeds in 3 days. sally also mentions that *irradiated* nuts/seeds won't sprout. is there any other reason that they might not be sprouting? they are all from " Woodstock Farm " a vermont co. but all are imported from outside the country. so i'm wondering if they might have been irradiated. i can't imagine why else they're not sprouting. I'm sprouting them in 1 quart ball jars with cheese cloth covering and replacing the water about 3 times per day. I've used both purified and spring water. this is so frustrating as i want to increase my intake of nuts/seeds because i dont' think my diet's varied enough, and some of them are good sources of magnesium, which i'd like to increase in my diet. p.s. the pumpkin seeds smell really bad. i've tried sprouting them in the past and the smell is the same - kind of like urine. is that typical?
