I grow herbs. Are these viable seeds for planting as well as cooking?

Update: My husband soaked 10 of the seeds overnight and then placed them in between several layers of moist paper towel. 9 out of 10 have sprouted this morning and the 10th looks like it might also sprout, so he says 'YES' these seeds seem to be viable for sprouting and/or planting.

My husband has not tried to sprout any of them. I'll see if he will try a few and see if they sprout.

I use these in cooking only and so I have never tried to plant them. Anne-Marie Boyce

I would not recommend it. They are thin, work great for the purpose intended, catching grease which would be cooling by the time it gets to the pan. I would use glassware designed for direct heat to do what you want to do. I have done that with beans and corn in the past. Also garden veggies like peppers and squash.

I had good success with these last summer. I didn't get to plant every variety of the herbs but the basil and the dill grew well. I wish you good luck in your herb gardening. P.S. I am in Alaska where the daylight hours were long in the summer. Pam in Bethel, AK

I recommend you pickup one of the great books out there on Herb gardens or Urban Self Sufficiency. Starter pots/Beds and and transfer to 4" pots once they are 2" high. There are a lot of other ways to do it, just remember to provide adequate watering and drainage plus indirect sunlight while sprouting the seeds. Pay attention to them daily to have a high suitability rate. Not all seed will germinate and not all plants will survive, THIS IS NORMAL. Older seeds tend to germinate less. Seeds poorly stored also germinate less. Harvest herbs before they flower, unless you are going to harvest the seeds. Have fun!

Hi Kathryn:I just rinse the seeds off before the initial soaking. I believe they are organic, so they should be fine.But contact The Sprout House if you are worried.Best,Sarah

yes you can sprout these seeds. You can also plant them. They can be cooked and used in so many different ways. These GMO FREE Garbanzo beans are great.

No question is stupid except the one you don't ask. Eat everything. It's young and tender; the 'stems' are thin and easily chewed. And the sprouts are extremely nutritious...good for sandwiches and salads, or anything else. Get a head start in the garden, or grow sprouts for Asian cuisine.

Hi I used these sunflower seeds to grow sunflower sprouts and they were terrific for growing sprouts. I have not used them to eat seeds. I do know that you should always soak your seeds and nuts before eating them. I hope this helps :)

I use them for that purpose too, but it depends on the requirements of the plant. Look up the recommended balance of nutrients and if they are in line with with a 4-4-4 plant food then they will work.

I would just use regular seeds. The pods are for outside or a metal planter. Good luck!

I've never tried planting them. Tumeric has incredible health benefits so I peel these roots and put them in blended drinks, make tea or cook with them. I may try planting them next spring. Thank you for the idea!

Im just a beginner at gardening but I have planted herbs with it and they are sprouting up Im using this for container growing so it should be fine

Yes and yes! That is why I purchased them. I wanted to start a Non-GMO garden and be able to sell the plants and seeds myself. Almost all the seeds I have planted in my small greenhouse have germinated.

I have never planted herbs, but I would guess since these buckets are quite sturdy for their size, they would work for planting. There is no hole in them to drain water, though.

Plant them and find out. I would think they would do fine unless you had a lot of moisture in the bag in the refrigerator. Check them for any mold before planting.

Yes, These are Heirloom Seeds . Easy Seeds to Germinate . Good soil and water help the growth process.

They are not too difficult compared to Chamomile, Epazote or Creeping Thyme on a windy day!.. lol You can mix the seeds with a handful of potting compost, dry silty earth, or sand to help you. Although those methods are best for broad-casting seeds you can still get good results for rows or scattering into flats. Hope this helps?
