The Sprout House Certified Organic Non-gmo Sprouting Seeds Holly's Mix - Mung, Adzuki, Green Pea, Red Lentil, French Lentil, Green Lentil 1 Pound

Though this product is a mixture of several species, they all seemed to sprout in a few days. I used the product approximately 1/4 cup at a time from 7/18 until now 11/18 and growth of the last crop was same as the first. Only 1 adzuki bean stayed hard out of the 1 lb supply so no chipped teeth or other problems. For those who are new to sprouting-your-own as was I, here's what worked for me. I found a round plastic jar about 2 inches in diameter and approximately 7 inches high. I started by washing the jar (and every other time using bleach) to kill possible grain germs. Then I add my beans: about 1/4 cup. Next I filled with water and poured off a few times. The final initial step was to fill the jar with water covering the beans by an inch or so then put the cap on the jar; that cap was a plastic snap-on that had a bunch of small holes in it resembling a shower head. Set the jar aside for 4-8 hours. Next fill the jar with water and pour it all off - use the jar cap to make this easy. Then put the jar, laying on its side in a dark place for approximately a day. After resting for a day, repeat the rinse and lay in a dark place. After 2 or 3 days, the beans will have sprouted - you'll see long skinny root-like things attached to the beans - and they are now usable (edible). If not consumed quickly, put in container and store in refrigerator where they'll last for many days. PS The reason for lying the jar on its side is that all the remaining moisture is distributed among the beans; if stood upright, only the bottom beans would get watered.

Enjoying sprouting these- they are a good quality and take maybe 4-5 days to sprout

I grow these in a quart jar with a screw-on lid also available from Amazon. I soak them overnight, then rinse them twice a day, keeping them draining beetween times. I find them to grow fast and have an excellent flavor. I just toss a handful into a salad or sandwich. I haven't yet tried them in an omelet, but that is likely to be the next project. One caveat: If they start to go bad, as you can tell by the appearance or smell, throw them out and soak both jar and lid in chlorine bleach and rinse very thoroughly before starting your next batch. Anything eaten raw should be treated this way, especially if it is a food you eat while it is alive a well as raw. If you are immunocompromised, you are better of not eating any raw sprouts, but that doesn't put these off limits. Simply stir-fry for about three minutes in hot oil, preferably peanut oil or canola, and serve hot with whatever seasoning you want on it. It should go without saying that you can use them in any stir-fry.

I just started on a sprouting spree. I bought the book so needed seeds as part of the process.. I can't say there was anything special that made me choose this vendor, other than just starting out, I'm not sure what some of these sprouts taste like, so I was intrigued by the variety of seeds in each package. Trusted that they knew what went good together. When I first purchased these, I didn't notice the vendor was not on Prime until I went to check out and saw a shipping charge, but I have to say, the shipping was really quick and inexpensive. So, dont let that deter you from purchasing from this vendor. Well packaged and I received the seeds before I received a couple of Prime items. I just started yesterday, soaking my seeds and today was the first rinse day. I was so excited to see the seeds sprouting already! I can't rate the flavor at this time because I am just starting but will do so in a few days. I am already planning on giving sprouting starter packages as Christmas gifts this year so will definitely purchase from this vendor!

This is a delicious sprout blend, with a great germination rate. However, the adzuki beans are significantly slower to sprout than the rest of the mix; by the time they started showing a root I had peas over 2" long and the mung beans were leafing. Next time I will soak longer to try to equalize the rates, but really I like the whole bunch a bit overgrown (they still taste excellent and more mass = more filling!) so it won't be a deal breaker if that doesn't fully resolve the disparate timing.

I was very pleased with Holly's Mix. The seeds all sprouted at much the same time, They sprouted quickly, and were nice and nutty and crunchy in a salad or topping a stew for garnish. I put some in snack bags with a paper towel to deliver in my produce baskets and they were well received as well. My one observation is that they do not last long past prime. So if you sprout these, be sure to eat them quickly. 1 tablespoon of seed made a whole quart of sprouts and then some. I would be sure not to sprout too many seeds at once as you may find you have unleashed the monster that took over San Francisco.

Sprout House products a first class and this mix is divine. No problems sprouting and delish on a sandwich salads and in smoothies

These are all medium sized seeds, between the size of radish and garbanzo, with a very high germination rate. I use the SproutMaster which makes growing sprouts a breeze. These are all mild flavored sprouts (unlike radish sprouts for example which have a bit of a radishy bite to them). If you don't know much about this kind of sprout, beans and peas are a good source of vegetarian protein. Sprouts, as they grow produce enzymes, which can play a number of roles in digestion and even immune system function, because most of your immune system is in your digestive tract. Sprouts are also a great source of fiber, and antioxidants. During the winter it is great to be able to grow a fresh, live food, because veggies at the grocery store are usually quite wilted or picked well before their peak. Sprouts, eaten fresh, are a plant that on a per-size basis, is pretty much the most potent and healthy thing you can feed yourself.
