Well, my last round of sprouting was not too successful. I am not sure if the seeds were too old or if I did something wrong in the process. They seemed to start out alright but then they all acquired a sort of pungent odor which slowly got worse and worse until I just had to pitch them or risk some sort of weird sprout related illness. The sunflower sprouts actually never opened up fully. The broccoli sprouts did open but the texture was all wrong and then the odor started and the clover sprouts, did the best but got mushy. We have started a new round of sprouting experiments. This week we will be trying to grow winter wheat, garbanzo's and green pea's. The lil' darlings are soaking as I type. Once their 8-12 hour bath is done we will transfer them into the draining bowls and rinse them three times per day for 3-4 days. Hopefully this round will be more successful.
