Hulled Sunflower Sprouts

[Guest guest]

Ok, time to start some new sprouts. I think I'll do the hulled

sunflower ones next. Is this what you would call " sunflower sunnies " ?

If not, what do you mean by that term?

Are the hulled sunflowers to be only barely sprouted because they are

not edible when long? The booklet says 1 " sprouts, but I wonder if I

can let them grow longer? If I have to keep the sprouts to 1 " , what

do I do with them when they're ready? I guess I must think that long

sprouts are edible as they are (like in sandwiches) and short ones

are, well, different??? I did some crunchy bean mix last week and

they seemed to me to require cooking. Am I wrong? I didn't care for

them, but maybe that's because I put them into an omelet and didn't

cook them enough?

And btw, what's the difference between the hulled sunflower seeds and

the unhulled seeds? Practically, speaking I mean. I know one has a

shell and one doesn't... Why can one grow longer, for example?

I want to try the idea someone mentioned recently about using a baby

spinach container (from the store) that has a dome, but I can't

remember how to do it and with which seeds. I was thinking that the

sunflower seeds would be good for this--or was it the mungs? Could

you run the instructions by me again, please???

Thanks,

Connie
