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 don't think it's organic, but it's very high quality. Yes, it sprouts. I found this out by accident one night when I left my teff in the pot with water overnight, with the intention of simply turning on the stove the next morning to cook it. Well, I woke up in the morning and it was all tiny green sprouts! So it doesn't take long.

My packages do not specify "organic". I have not tried sprouting, but the grain is almost dust small. About the size of grains of sand. Not sure how well sprouting would work. It has not been heated, so given the right conditions, it should sprout. It comes from a very dry part of the world. Not sure what the sprouting conditions would be. Other grains or seeds may be easier.

It is not labeled organic so that should be a red flag. Other than that I do not know.

My seeds that have just sprouted do have red stems, as far as organics concerened, I am not sure if the seeds are or not, but what does it matter if your plant is grown organically?

"Can your grains be sprouted?"Any whole grains that have not been heated or hulled can be sprouted. Items that will not sprout include Organic Kasha, Oats and Pearl Barley. We do not offer any sprouted grains or sprouted grain flours." from http://www.bobsredmill.com/faqs.html#SP4 I've never tried it. Amazon has this one specifically for sprouting but more pricey: http://www.amazon.com/Dried-Beans-Organic-Sprouting-Seed/dp/B000P9WGF8

My package says organic but if there is nothing on yours that says organic, I would not assume they are. Todd's Seeds is very communicative via email so I would ask them directly.

I don't think it's organic, but it is GMO free. States "No GMO ingredients" on the back of the package.

it is stone ground flour. Organic. The word 'sprouted' is no where to be seen on the bag.

I do not know but it is organic. Perhaps calling the company. I hope this helps

I ordered organic sprouting seeds (broccoli and alpha alpha) from Todd's Seeds and they came with instructions. There was also a website link with either the seeds or sprouting tray. First time trying and no problems at all.

It is organic. I just don't know about shade grown. It is a very good product.

Since mine came from a large nursery I assume it had non organic fertilizer. No indication that it was organic. I would just inquire from the seller or contact the nursery.

I see two conflicting answers to this question. In my research, one nutritionist, and a food scientist who is my sister, both say it is sprouted. It is my understanding that people with wheat issues can use this flour be cause it is sprouted.

I don't see why not. I bought some organic wheat (not this) and used it for grass seed. I was not about to put treated seed on my lawn. It grew beautifully.

Seeds aren't classified as organic. They can be a hybrid, cross pollinated, heirloom etc. How will you grow it? If you grow it using only organically approved products to stop pests or as fertilizer...then yes, it will be organic. I had some of the red stemmed purslane growing wild in my yard, and before I realized what it was, I had to weed my organic garden by hand about every other day, just to get rid of it....so there is not much needed for pest control. It's very hardy and very good for you, so definitely worth trying to grow it...and of course, try to grow it organically so you don't put toxic chemicals into your body. :) Seeds aren't classified as organic.
