Guest guest Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 If you are buying your sprouting seeds from a reputable source I seriously doubt they would sell anything with solanacea that is toxic. Don't buy them from a garden store, buy them from a place like Handy Pantry or sproutpeople or from whole foods or something like that. People have been eating sprouts for a very long time. I've eaten them for well over 30 years. And that's just my lifetime.

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 Hi Bill: I've made a video to show people how I grow microgreens and sprouts in my living room using two book cases. I grow sunflower greens, pea shoots, chia greens, flax greens as well as my sprouts which are broccoli, radish, fenugreek and alfalfa, clover and other easy to grow sprouts. Take a look at my system. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQXjdXcqkCs I got all my info from the very helpful people on this forum. I learned a lot. Been doing this for years now. And if I knew how good sunflower greens would be I should have listed to EW and started growing them two years ago. But better late than never. And I now buy my sprouting seeds EXCLUSIVELY from Sproutpeople.com Melody > > > > Greetings, > I have about three weeks experience with sprouting. Only for my chickens though. Still a bit chicken about trying them myself. Anyway, I think microgreens would probably be a better fit for me. I just picked up some raw sunflowers in the shell today and will try them. Have been timidly sampling my little lettuce plants and assorted brassicas. Talk about some flavors, was worried something was going awry, but now I understand flavor and nutrients to be greatly concentrated. > I'm wondering if you all could give me a top ten list of favored micrgreens and any to definatly stay away from. I suspect there are some things best not eaten, thinking of the solanacea right now, but I wonder if there are others potentially hazardous?... > > > Bill Addington > sand hollow id > 880-8927 > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
