With the organic soft white wheat berries I buy, the sprouts appear within 24 hours after I soak them overnight and then drain the water. Within the next 12 to 24 hours (so 36 to 48 hours total from the time they're drained), the sprouts are close to 1/4 " long and I take the wheat out of the jar and dry it. I rinse it 2 or 3 times a day while sprouting. I think there's probably something wrong with wheat that hasn't sprouted in 7 days.

Hi Joy: It probably means the crop that produced the seeds was grown in low soil fertility. If so, the seeds would be of lowered nutritional value. If the the seeds had been irradiated, probably none would have sprouted. Perhaps you should take the seeds back to where you bought them and ask for a refund. Were the seeds organic and do you know if they were hybrid or open pollinated? Chi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 7, 2002 Report Share Posted February 7, 2002 I would be insisting to get my money back from whoever sold you the wheat. Wheat has sprouted after being in a pyramid a couple of thousands of years so there is definitely something wrong with your wheat.
