Re: store bought sprouting seeds

[Guest guest]

For years I bought lentils from the grocery store, dried soybeans and mung beans

from the Asian market. They all sprouted fine. I buy French Lentils in bulk from

whole foods. None are organic but pretty cheap and no shipping. The lentils from

the supermarket are usually 99 cents or 69 cents on sale per pound bag. I tried

and failed miserably with dried garbanzos from the grocery store. I think it was

because I was using a Mason Jar at the time--they got very gross and moldy. I

would also prefer to be able to buy my supplies nearby, but where I live in NJ

it is a cultural and health food desert. For my order from Sproutpeople, I paid

$15 in shipping--worth it, but it would be nice if I could spend that on seeds

instead. How good i had it when I lived in San Francisco!

Until we have the courage to recognize cruelty for what it is--whether its

victim is human or animal--we cannot expect things to be much better in this

world... We cannot have peace among men whose hearts delight in killing any

living creature. By every act that glorifies or even tolerates such moronic

delight in killing we set back the progress of humanity.

The last question prompts me to ask another: What seeds from the store

intended for eating

sprout well? I tried buckwheat and the seeds looked and sprouted identically to

the ones

I bought online.

I'm happy to support the sprouting vendors when they're the best option, but if

I can

find something cheaper at a store to which I can ride my bike that's what I'll

buy.
