I may not be the best person to answer your question because I am relatively new to sprouting. But I'm an old hand at vegetable gardening, and I have some...
Hi, I just joined the group and have a quick question. I am gluten intolerant. I know that when you sprout wheatgrass for juicing, it is gluten free. Does...
Barley does contain gluten, but quite a bit less than wheat. I'm sure it would progressively lose gluten during sprouting, but I don't know when it would be...
I am trying to decide between Val Archer's sprouter and the EasyGreen Automatic Sprouter: (http://www.easygreen.com/how_it_works.html) It says it uses oxygen...
... My personal opinions only: We tried an easygreen about 2 years ago and found it didn't water well in our dry climate, leading to mould. This might not...
Jim, Thanks for your input. I'll see if I can figure out a good sprouting level for me and barley. Barb Barley does contain gluten, but quite a bit less than...
I'm caught in the same debate between automatic sprouters. I'm also wondering about automatic vs the manual method. Besides being less work, how much better is...
I tried growing sprouts from popcorn. I got a really delicious sprout, which I have been nibbling at daily. Now it's the 6th day and I notice that some of the...
What do you mean by "fresh rotation" of water? I just bought the Val Archer sprouter (it's on the way to me right now), and from what I've read.... all the...
I just ordered an easy green... they are having a promotion that made the price most attractive. I would rather use my own purified water than municipal water...

Certainly it is :). Sprouting for pet birds is becoming quite popular right now, although some of the quality breeders have been doing it for years. I ...
Hi, My name is Mark,I'm in Montreal, Canada. I'm just starting to sprout and I have a question about almond sprouts. Do I just buy organic almonds and sprout...
Hi Mark, Any RAW, WHOLE almond is what you would use for sprouting. It may be obvious, but I'll say it anyway: roasted or sliced nuts won't sprout. Organic...
... We have tested almonds and peanuts a few times, but never have found almonds that sprouted well. Many people just soak the almonds overnight, to get some ...
Worth mentioning here: almonds and most fruit-tree seeds from temperate climates need a period of dormancy with chilling before they will germinate... into a...
