Are these beans for sprouting also?

Hi Jin, all beans that are not treated can be sprouted. There are some excellent sites that detail the many uses for soy beans. I recommend starting with small batches as you experiment. You can make tofu, soy milk, roasted, meat patties, and more. Enjoy!

Yes, but like peas, the beans have to be mature but not to the point of being dry. If they are too green, ie...not mature, they will get crushed and expelled with hulls.

The package does not say that the product is organic. Since it is a whole grain my opinion is that it could be sprouted but that said I have not tried to sprout any. Robert

I've sprouted everything in mine, even the larger beans (black and garbanzo), and never had anything but great success. My favorite is broccoli (use no more than 1/4 c.). Also, with broccoli, you do need to rinse twice daily. I've also sprouted green lentils. With beans and lentils, you sprout just enough to get a tiny tail, then cook. Lentils can be eaten raw. This sprouter never fails!! (I have no bias toward this company and no connection with it at all. Just love wholesome food.)

These are viable seeds that sprout in water. There should be no reason why they should not sprout in soil if watered and cared for properly.

No, they are graduated in size. This is helpful if you are sprouting tiny seeds (like alfalfa). Start with the smallest size. As they grow larger, it helps to switch to the next larger size, etc. Makes the draining go a lot faster and gets rid of seed shells, without losing the actual sprouts down the drain. And if sprouting a larger seed (say an adzuki bean) you can just start with a larger lid. Hope that helps.

Hello Lee, the beans are already dried and peeled...there are no pods on the beans. I love these because all that is needed is just an 8 hour or so soak in a bowl of water, then you are good to go!

I would send this question to The Sprout House. They have a question and answer page and are extremely helpful. I only use these seeds to grow sprouts in my kitchen in jars. You can buy broccoli seeds much cheaper than this at any garden store. I wouldn't use them in a garden. If for no other reason than cost.

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've only had the plants for 10 months so I don't have any beans yet. I expect the plants need to mature a bit.

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

No just beans, i dont use dry herbs ever. But this broke after a few times. For herbs i would just buy a cheapy

They are fairly large, similar to a dried kidney bean. You will want to soak them in water over night or knick the outside with something sharp to get them to germinate.

I don't know, but it seems like you could. They are live seeds, so why not? I know you cant use seed packaged to plant for sprouts because they put 'treatments' on those seeds, like to keep it from molding, etc. I would think that you could get seeds to plant cheaper though.

I have no idea! I grind the flax seeds down and store both the whole seeds & the ground seeds in the freezer. I use the ground flax seeds raw in various other things that I eat. I have never tried to sprout them but it wouldn't hurt to try!

That's a really good question!!! I have never tried it but I have read that others have used this kind of a product for sprouting. I would definitely give it a try!

Good heavens no! They are organic sprouting seeds. Why would one want to contaminate them with a disinfecting solution?
