In reply to Surya. My understanding is that you really should buy chickpeas from a spout seed selling company. Their seeds have high germination rates. If you just try to sprout any old dried chickpea, even organic, they are not high germination ones. So not all of them sprout and the ones that don't will grow mold.

I used to buy alfalfa sprouts in the store all the time but they rarely have them these days. I read that’s because the fact that hey have to be moist and out of the fridge in that state for several days allows bacteria to grow and therefore salmonella and the like. How can we stop that from happening in our own kitchens if we try to grow sprouts? Especially here in central Texas?

I hope you have a good answer I’d love to attempt to grow some.

Thanks 🙂

Hello, Thank you very much for this article, It was ver helpful. I was inspired by it and bought a big can of alfalfa seeds to sprout. However I noticed the seeds are treated with Thiram : 50% Thiram ( tetramethylthiuramdisulfide) plus 50% inert at rate specified by the manucfacturerI don´t know what that means so I was wondreing if I can still srprout those seed and eat the sprouts?

Thanks,

In reply to Vanessa. Yes, this is what I do. Give them a vinegar rinse, like I do most of my produce. Works great to keep them fresh longer.
