Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The sprouts have all been sprouting healthy and lively. And such a variety! There are spicy, mild, beany varieties, grassy varieties, and my family has loved them all. The only ones that grow very slowly are the onion/garlic mix, but as long as they are kept warm and moist, they do grow. I suspect that onion and garlic just grow more slowly than the other varieties, and that there's nothing wrong with the mix. My husband wanted alfalfa, and I wanted to try new things. My young kids wanted mild, the grownup kids wanted spicy. This kit was a great way to accommodate everyone. So far we've grown an amount that would have cost at least $30 if we'd bought sprouts in the store, and we've barely made a dent in our seed collection. Growing sprouts really can be a great savings of money. Add to that the fact that this doesn't cost more per pound than the non-sampler seeds, so you get to try everything without having to pay extra for the privilege. You can do your sprouting with fancy equipment, but there is a much easier way. Get mason jars with rings, and cheesecloth. Put two tablespoons of seeds in a jar and close it with the cheesecloth in the ring. Then add water, swish, and pour out the water through the cheesecloth. Twice a day rinse after that, and keep it in a warm place. After about 9 days, the jar is full of sprouts. You can replace the cheesecloth with the mason lid, and put it in the refrigerator. I recommend putting a label on the jar, so you can keep track of which variety you have in it; then you can have multiple jars/varieties growing at once.
