Guest guest Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 Hi Holly, I am . Did you notice if the black flat seeds sprouted (I am assuming but not sure if they are garlic) in your French Mix? Mine are going on Day 3 and have not done a thing but my husband did let the seeds soak for 24 hours instead of the 8-12 before he realized he forgot them. All the others are sprouting away however! > > The french mix was yummy! Now I need to go start soaking one of the other mixes. Hmmm, amber waves of grain or peasant mix... > > Holly > Holly Canfield > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 I can't wait to eat mine too! I thought I was silly posting pics of my first cup of sprouts but apparently I got a lot of feedback from other friends interested in the same thing! How exciting! > > About to eat my first bunch of French mix - weeeee! > > Sorry, just had to post in my excitement! > > Holly > Holly Canfield > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 I don't think the small black seeds sprouted much. I did mine in the hemp bag. I soaked for 8 hrs. I sprouted for 5 days. Holly Holly Canfield Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 The small black seeds are generally garlic or onion and they can both take up to ten days to sprout. You harvest the mix in less than half that time and although the black seeds are in early sprout phase with barely a tail if any, they do impart a nice onion or garlic or dill essence that adds to the mixes taste.I think the flat seeds in the French are dill seeds. I was so impressed by the onion / garlic taste that I sometimes mix them, sprout them on their own for a good ten days, and then mix them back into the ready to go 3 or 4 day sprouted French, Russian or Italian mix for a fantastic taste. Just be patient w/ the onion or garlic when sprouting on their own. They take forever but are well worth it. Sent from my BlackBerry® powered by Virgin Mobile. Re: french mix Hi Holly, I am .

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 Hi All I am going to try one of those mixes. Maybe Russian?? I am now back to sprouting my organic lentils. They had not agreed with me when I first began sprouting. I had them in my freezer. I have decided to try again and I'm enjoying them and they don't affect my tummy so that's a good thing. I wonder what else I should try. lol Melody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 The Russian Mix is my absolute favorite. Worth the try! Phyllis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 I've been sprouting for a long time, but only me and the kids ate them. French Garden was the mix that converted my wife. Now I do other mixes, even broccoli with alfalfa. I just tell he its her favorite and she eats them all up. I can't get fenugreek past her. ew Re: French mix The Russian Mix is my absolute favorite.

Guest guest Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 Sprinkle Fenugreek into the other mixes. I don't want it straight either, but threw some in with broccoli and alfalfa the other day....very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
