Just a thought - and may be stating the obvious here...but don't sprout the ones that are in seed packets ie Thompson and Morgan - they will have been treated and are only for growing in the garden as plants...... (Full of useless bits of information me
)Love x

Terry, I didnt realise there were different types, why on earth would anyone want that growing in the garden as decoration
I have had some more today and even given some to family members, its tastes lovely, I think its nice just on its own I wouldnt mind trying the sunflower seeds next... Oh and Terry I find your useless bits of info very interesting - you could put all your bits of useless info into a book, it would be a facsinating read, From fish to Fungi to who designed the sewers in London in a couple of pages
See I do listen and take it in

Oh - it's mainly grown as cattle food - being super nutritious - humans can't eat it when it's a plant - too fibrous..... Here look: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfalfa (Here's my fave bit of useless info: did you know more people are kicked to death by donkeys than die in major air crashes each year?????) Now bet that was worth staying up for
If you do sunflower seeds - eat them as soon as they sprout - like next day - they're really crunchy and weird..but go brown very quickly and then not nice.... Off I go to read another encyclopedia
Love x

Do you shell them when they have sprouted Terry? Wonder if you can do the same with pumpkin seeds? Love the Donkey info, will remember that one when I next fly

Hi Sally - you don't use sunflower seeds in their shells.....just the unshelled ones....(again only from health food shop) And yes you can do pumpkin - but they take a lot longer by which time they're often off.....but you can try.... Have you ever tried lightly toasting sunflower seeds under the grill......(not the sprouted ones)......another weird experience...... Love x
