How do I know if these seeds are free of disease?

As far as I can tell these seeds are fine. We are currently using them and planted them last year as well. If you want to, you may want to check out publications like Mother Earth News to get more background on seed (companies). Through that magazine we have started using Southern Exposure Seed Exchange because of their reputation (and they are in NO way fully or partially owned by Monsatan, Syngenta, Cargill, etc)

Let me start by saying that my seeds were just fine. They arrived well packaged and sprouted once planted. I was quite happy with them. (And, the sturdy container is still in use for storing various items.) I think it would be hard to guarantee that any seeds are "disease free". And, of course the moment that you open a packet and plant seeds, they are exposed to all sorts of things that live in even the best organic garden. So, follow sensible gardening practices and hope for the best. I was pleased with the results I had.

I have no idea what you are trying to ask. I had other seeds from last years package, and am growing them now.... Just broke past the soil... So looks like they will be very good this year too.

On the package it say's these seeds are 100% natural, pesticide-free, gluten-free, GMO-free. No USDA Organic Symbol or raw.

Sorry, I don't really know. I've never had any seeds spoil, and I only use one or two tablespoons per day.

I have no idea... I never received the seeds even though I paid for those and four other packages of seeds... I got nothing.

Yes they are raw and the texture can change. When it is put in water it becomes gel-like which is the way i like it. Other wise it is a crunchy type of seed

Not real sure Patti it doe's not say any were on package, but the quality in the packaging of these seeds look like they will last a long time just keep them in a dry area

Description says "seeds tested for pathogens" but nothing about being tested for heavy metals. Google "NaturalNews China heavy metals".

Hi Tom, thanks for your interest in our seeds. The seeds are organic heirloom seeds, non gmo, non hybrid, open pollinated...they aren't USDA certified.

Yes. The info on the page says: "They are 100% Non-GMO, open-pollinated". They are very clear that these are natural organic seeds in their ad. The packaging is amazing and airtight enough to last almost forever. I haven't had a single seed that didn't grow so far. I see no mention of pesticide, just a lot of pride in being natural organic seeds.

If the package doesn't say organic then it is not certified organic. These appear to be high quality seeds. Enjoy!

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

The package does not indicate the seeds are organic. If they were, there would be some indication, so have to assume the answer is no.

No there is not. Its is 100% uncooked/unroasted, unsalted seeds. They are shelled. I have recently even sprouted a small amount. They are good seeds.

I have no idea if they are "real"; most important, they are not fertile. I used premium planting soil and Miracle Grow, and not one seed sprouted.

I'm sorry I don't know I didn't ask the seller. But the rule of thumb on food storage the seeds are good for up to 15 yrs. I hope this helps.

Seeds were recently sown. Germination rate is quite good. If sown in full sun should get good results.
