Re: fenugreek sprouting question

[Guest guest]

In my experience, yes. My kitchen is a little cooler in Winter, so the sprouting

of the little tails has been taking a little longer than usual. I am sure it

didn't help that I left the window open for the cat to get some air yesterday

for about an hour. 3 days ago I soaked fenugreek and it was only yesterday that

the little tails started showing. Tonight, I just saw that they are looking

great and we will most likely start eating them tomorrow. We grow and eat them

from tail stage to leafy (if they last that long). I get nervous when my supply

of fenugreek starts getting low because of how much we like them. n

soak and rinse every 12 hours -you should see small tails within a day or 2.

Fenugreek usually sprouts very quickly.

I soaked the fenugreek seed I had already from Mountain Rose Herbs

(organic) overnight and rinsed and put in the easy sprouter this AM. Have now

had a 12-hour rinsing cycle, but still can't really see any action on the

sprouts (no little tails, etc) -

Is this normal?

Thanks! My house stays between 60 and 70 degrees. Not constant, since I " m off

the grid and use a wood stove - have radiant floor heating that I keep at 60,

downstairs. Wood stove makes up the difference. Plus the well water is cooler

than I remember traditional city water being (from when I lived in Florida until

the fall/winter of 2008)

Hi, been sprouting fenugreek for 2 years. What I find interesting about

fenugreek is that I can pick from my trays in all stages of sprouting. If I

want a crunchier sprout I might grab a handful on day 3 or 4. If I want long

sprouts with little leaves at the end, I do if for 7 days. It's amazing how

versatile these little seeds are.
