So the bottom line is that everybody's plumbing is different. Eat to

test yours.

It probably depends on the person. I had to give up on eating

sprouted

chickpeas because they give me so much digestive distress. Not just

gas and bloating but pain and nausea. They're just too hard for me to

digest (unless they're cooked, at which point I have zero problems

digesting chickpeas (garbanzos))

Hey!  That name sounds good to me.  I originally got them several years ago,

when we were renting our upstairs to her mom and 3 children.  I am about 98%

sure they came in a package of the boys sunflower seeds.  I now seal in Glass

jars pref. or Tupperware.

Infested? With what?

Are the Now seeds Organic? I am having a little difficulty finding

organic sprouting seeds locally. Well, I found them but they were in

a twist tie bag and infested.

My first posting..... ..

I get a pound bag of Zesty Sprouting Mix (1/2 crimson clover, 1/4

alfalfa and 1/4 fenugreek), brand name NOW, at my local health food

store (Chuck's) on the second Tuesday of each month when they have

20%

discount throughout the store. Regular price is $4.99 so end up

paying about $4.00 after discount.

Definitely like the 'Zesty' mix vs. straight alfalfa for salads.

Hi All:

I have an interesting question about how one sprouts. I use plastic jars (I cut

off the top of my Crysal Light conainers), put some mesh cloth and a rubber band

and I've had no problems.

I have noticed that my alfalfa (while it sprouts) does not FILL THE JAR like the

one in the video. But then again, she used a mason jar and that's glass.

So my question is: Should I be using glass jars to grow my sprouts, or am I

perfectly okay using my plastic bottles.

If this is about personal preference, that's fine. But I just wanted to know the

best way to grow these seeds.

Thanks much.

I would be leary about using plastic containers that were not meant for

raw food use. Wide mouth mason jars would be the best.
