Guest guest Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 , Go to www.sproutpeople.org and check their list. The sell more sprouting seeds than anyone. I know money is tight for you and you probably can't afford to buy from Sprout People. Check their list, then see what you can find locally. Do over look health food stores. However, check dates, buy fresh. Shelled pumpkin and hulled sunflower can be used, but not for sprouts. You use them for soaks. Put the seed to soak for eight to 12 hours. Drain and rinse. Rinse again in another 8-12 hours. Do this for three days. When the little roots start to show, they are ready to eat. And quite yummy. Plus nutritious. ew More Veggie ?'s First I want to thank you for your patients in answering all out questions. Now I was looking at differnt veggied and was wondering has anyone tried the following as sprouts... Not shoots Asparagus Brussel sprouts cauliflower collards ornamental corn swiss chard kale melons of any kind okra parsnips green bean wax beans strawberry turnips also, at our local whole food co-op they have raw shelled sunflower seeds as well as pumpkin, can those crow into sprouts? Once again thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 Ernest. I have hulled sunnies in my house. If I grow them as soaks, are they more nutritious than if I just ate them as is. I can do soaks and the sprinkle them on my sprout salad right? That would boost the nutrition of my already nutritious salad?? Thanks, Melody > > , > Go to www.sproutpeople.org and check their list.

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 i MAY Sprout them just to plant them. I'd love to have all those plants.  Carolyn Wilkerson  To: sproutpeople Sent: Tuesday, May 22, 2012 9:50 PM Subject: Re: More Veggie ?'s  , You can sprout cauliflower, collards, chard, kale, any beans, turnips, lettuce, carrots, onions, mustard, broccoli, brussels sprouts, you name it. Finding some of the ones on your list may be impossible unless you want to pay big bucks to a seed catalog that sells them organically, though. H.
