black sunflower seeds for sprouting & sprouting equipment and sources

[Guest guest]

Hi Anthony,

Right now I'm just soaking almonds, and occasionally brazil nuts, in some wide

shallow Pyrex dishes that have water tight snap on covers I use when I put them

in the refrigerator after soaking. The dishes are about 7 inches wide and 3

inches tall and I got them at Fred Meyer. The shallower dish gets more oxygen to

the nuts when they are soaking in water than a narrower and deeper bowl would.

 

I used ceramic plates to cover the dishes in the refrigerator for the first

several months until I couldn't smell a plastic smell from the lids. Since the

lids don't touch the nuts, they are pretty safe, and water tight covers are very

useful. The plasticizers in plastic are pretty reactive with the oils in nuts

and seeds, so I feel its important to store them in glass, and especially

important to soak the oily ones in glass.

 

Both Madison Market and PCC in Fremont have 1/2 and 1 gallon glass storage jars

at pretty reasonable prices.

 

The last time I looked for sprouting accessories www.sproutpeople.com had the

best selection. They are located in Poulsbo, so shipping is fast and cheap to

Seattle. However most of their seed varieties are only in mixes. They have by

far the most extensive and detailed information on everything related to

sprouting, so I usually start at that web site when considering doing additional

sprouting.

 

For sprouting seeds not in mixes, besides www.sprouthouse.com there is

www.sprouting.com (Mumm's Sprouting Seeds) however they are located in north

central Saskatchewan and the border crossing increases shipping time and costs.

Since there aren't many sources of sprouting seeds with a wide selection, they

are still worth checking out.

 

May your day be filled with clarity, grace, progress, and warm laughter,

Roger

I've seen sproutpeople's web site but hadn't realized that they were

in Poulsbo. I've been thinking of the Sproutmaster trays, but I

don't like that they aren't dishwasher-safe. The EasyGreen automatic

unit has a certain appeal, but it is kinda expensive. Anyone here

personally acquainted with it?
