Guest guest Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 No one replied and I really want to know (before I get my next shipment of my clover, broccoli, and fenugreek. I don't care about beans. I know how to store them. I just want to make sure that I can still store all my seeds (in their ziplock bags) in my freezer. I just want to know where all of YOU store your seeds. comments would be appreciated. And I know we probably discussed this way back some time ago, but at my age, I forget stuff. lol I promise to write it down and remember it this time.

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Here is a copy of the response I sent to you ew Melody, Gil promotes freezing. If you let your seeds get too hot, the germ will die and then they won't sprout. Same thing happens to old seeds. Check the 's web page for the life expectancy of seeds. I would suggest that you put your seeds into a jar with a lid before you put them in the freezer, That will help guard against freezer burn, if you keep them in the freezer for a long time. The story about store bought mung beans in exactly why I started sprouting in the first place. You will also discover that anything you grow yourself tastes better that store bought. If you can't grow your own, shop the farmer's markets. I gave my 90 year old neighbor a zucchini. Next day she said, " Your squash tastes better than the one's from the store " .

I store my seeds in ziploc baggies on a shelf in one of my cabinets. If I were to buy large quantities of seed, like 25 pounds, I would store it in a freezer (if I had the money to buy that kind of bulk, I would have a bigger freezer) but since I only have 2-3 pounds of seed on hand, considering all varieties of seed combined, I just keep it in the cabinet because I'm going to use it all up long before it has a chance to go bad.

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 I freeze my seeds and am still using seeds from 3-4 years ago with a great germination rate. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 Hi All! So SOME OF YOU STORE IN ZIPLOCKS, and some of you freeze. I think I shall continue to freeze. It just gives me peace of mind. And yesterday I served sprout salads to several friends. I added cherry tomatoes, black olives, and my broccoli, my fenugreek, and my radish sprouts. A splash of extra virgin olive oil, some salt and pepper, and fresh basil. THEY ALL WENT NUTS!!! They couldn't stop raving. God bless these sprouts. That's all I can say.

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 I also store mine in zip lock bags. Like Sparrow, if I had more freezer space and was storing larger amounts of seeds I'd probably store them in there, but I don't have that kind of room and they are fine for a while in bags.

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 Melody- Your sprout salad sounds wonderful and that is one of my favorite way to have such sprouts. I forgot to mention that the sprouts I place in the freezer are in freezer bags. Actually, I double bag them. So far I have had great luck with quality organic seeds. Now for some fresh tomatoes out of my garden to go with the sprouts. That is a little bit of heaven.
