Guest guest Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 what is the shelf life of sun dried sprouts? we're talking stored in glass, air tight. i'd like to find one of those vacuum machines.

The temperature control is very important, don't buy one of the cheap ones without it. The American harvest with temp. control is available at Walmarts, and walmart.com, I'm not sure where else. They like it because you can also remove/add trays to it, and buy additional trays. Legumes should be soaked and sprouted before using/eating. Debra --- Diana <laurelai3 wrote: > Hi all.
