Can this be used for sprouting seeds for comsumption such as sunflower seeds

Yes it can it can be used for any type of seed it is all organic according to the label so I don't believe there is anything harmful to us in it that would get in our food from it

Yes, why not? What other method might you use? I have used for tomato plants and watermelon seeds so far.

No, it will not germinate seeds. it is used to root cuttings from existing plants.

I expect you can, but haven't tried it myself. I use these in my soymilk maker. In the past, I have tried sprouting soybeans, and I just used soybeans from the bulk bins at Whole Foods, and it worked fine.

I use the screen for drying herbs which shrink down to nothing so I would think it would work for your sprouted berries.

My understanding is that there are different grades of stainless steel; they may not be food-quality. If you are consuming the food yourself, I suppose you could try it, but I would recommend finding sieves that are designed for food use. Edit: seeds may be fine, as long as they are not being consumed directly, and as long as the sieves aren't rusted at all. I am not particularly familiar with the effect of metals on plants but I would imagine as long as there is no long-term contact, it wouldn't be a problem.

Thank you for this question. Yes, almonds can sprout in this container. The container itself is about the size of a 1 quart canning jar. Hope this is helpful. Thank you Sprout Lady Rita

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.

Yes, it should work just fine for sprouting other seeds. As to the mold problem mentioned by somebody else, I personally have never had a mold issue with mine. I just wash the trays with hot soapy water in between use. The mold problem could be related to where you are buying your grain from, or the sprouting temperature, moisture level, the environment where you live, ect. The brand that I use is Great River Organic Milling company. I buy it in 50 pound bags with free shipping here on Amazon.

I use it for kale. I think it would be good with sprouts. I don't think it would do well with cucumbers or celery.

I would say yes I use it specifically for plants I plan to consume just follow manufacturers instructions.

I'm using it for thistle. I think the holes are too small for sunflower seeds unless they are out of the shells.

sorry, I don't have a sproutmaster tray at all, just use a jar. but I only use about a tablespoon of seeds.

Yes but I used it with no any action on seeds seeds have not sprout after 2 weeks of planting using this stuff before planting

Probably but I think you will lose a lot of seed. The holes are large enough for sunflower, cracked corn, Milo,etc.

I did not attempt to "sprout" these beans. I bought these beans to make tofu. I found these beans to be quite fresh and adequate for making tofu. Having said that, as far as making tofu goes I found that locally purchased beans are nearly as good. I personally try to make sure that the products I purchase are not from China. I hope this helped you.

No, unless you actually want to grow the sprouts into a plant. If you are just wanting to grow sprouts to eat then no sunlight is necessary.

You can have mine. Only small shelled sunflower seeds will fit through the mesh. Those with their hulls will not. Such seed is much more expensive, and the price difference is only worthwhile if you are feeding over a patio or some area that must remain hull-free.The product description says "Hold up to 6-7-pound of black oil sunflower, hulled sunflower, or sunflower mixes". The weight is probably right, but only hulled sunflower will ever get through the mesh.
