For lack of a better name we call these Seeds. These are all very fast, tender and delicious sprouts. Almonds and Peanuts are the most addictive of all sprouts - Pumpkins and Sunflowers are done (after only 1 hour of soaking) and 0-12 hours of sprouting, and though they don't store well as sprouts, they won't have too - you'll gobble them down in a hurry. Madison Market combines everything and is the trail mix of the sprout universe. They were extremely popular at our farmer's market stand until we retired in 2002.
The Seeds All of the seeds on this page are supplied to us by farmers who are Certified Organic! | | | | | | | Almond Sprouts are often called "soaks" because they swell rather than sprout, producing only a tiny bulge at their germ instead of a root. Absolute heaven to munch, though rather expensive.
Almonds are THE most addictive of all sprouts - er, soaks, so enjoy with caution =:-}
Crop Note 2005 and 2006: Almond harvest in California have been off between 50 and 67% for 2 seasons! The lack of supply has driven up prices horribly.

| | | | | These are hulled Buckwheat. They are one of the quickest sprouts around - soak 'em for 1/2 hour, rinse a few times and you have sprouts in about 36-48 hours. They are nutty, plump and extremely tender. A great snack!
|
| | | | | We don't sell Hemp because it is still not legal to even have (much less sell) a seed of the genus Canibus which can germinate, in the US.
ABSURD! Hemp is a plant that could replace fossil fuel to power our vehicles (bio-diesel) and make plastic - AND it enriches the soil (unlike corn (think ethanol) which depletes soil. Hemp is easy to grow organically and so would be a great crop that would reduce agricultural poisons and - in a far more perfect world - could begin to bring back family farms! This is a great seed and we're happy to offer some information and we will sell it - if we are ever allowed too! |
| | | | | This mix is beyond outrageous! It is a very quick mix to grow, though the resulting sprouts are not so much sprouts as "soaks" - that is, they plump up with water but produce very little (or no) root. This mix has a shorter shelf life than most sprouts - once grown it is best consumed within 48 hours, but believe us - it won't last even that long once you taste it. The shelf life issue is one of flavor not of decomposition. As a rule the Pumpkins will get a bit bitter after a few days and the Sunflowers might get a bit over-ripe, but we've kept it for almost 2 weeks in storage tests and found it still quite tasty. Decide for yourself - like we say - it isn't likely to go uneaten so its sort of a moot point =:-)

| | | | | Actually a legume not a nut, Raw Valencia Peanuts make for one way popular sprout! We got thousands of folks addicted to these over the years at the Dane County Farmer's Market in Madison, Wisconsin (where we sold sprouts every Saturday from May-October for 10 years). Peanuts are best when they put out only a bulge at their tip, not a big sprout, but you can decide for yourself (assuming that you can keep from eating them long enough to let them grow).
|
| | | | | Pumpkins are a pretty high end seed. They are expensive and the finished product is best eaten FRESH (as soon as done). Pumpkins are not Sprouts - they are "Soaks". They soak for an hour, during which time they turn into nutrition packed living food, and they are done then and there. They are exceptional, buttery flavored delights. It has been years since we adored our Pumpkin seed. These still cost too much and aren't as good as they were back in the last millenium. Still - they are the best available anywhere in our opinion, they taste great, and they take less time to prepare than most foods. |
| | Whole
Natural or Black | | | Sesame is a small seed which makes a great, nutritious addition to many a meal - sprinkle it on salads, sandwiches, stirfry, desserts, souffles - you name it - it is quite inocuous due to its size and tenderness when sprouted.
Black Sesame - new in 2007. When sprouted it is a beautiful Black and White (the sprouts are white), like tiny dominos. We carry Black Sesame because one of our aesthetically observant customers/sproutpeople told us about them =:-() |
| | | | | Hulled (out of shell) Sunnys are a very quick crop (Soak). They soak for only an hour and are done then or 12 hours later. They don't last long, but they taste so good that that isn't usually a concern. Do not try to grow them longer or store them more than a day or so - they just don't do that. These are hard to find as the hulling process usually results in a too high percentage of broken seeds. Eat them straight from the sprouter, on salads, cereals or any place at all!

(877/SPROUTS)The very best way to contact us is through E-mail =:-) We have been an internet only business since 2001. We are not a big corporation. We are but 2 people, mom n' pop. We decided after years of juggling our family's (kids, dogs, cats and even our own) needs, and the needs of Sproutpeople, that we had to make more time for our kids, so we stopped talking on the phone. All calls go to voice mail and have since 2001. We are very fast to fill orders and answer e-mail, and though we wish we could make the time to talk, we just can't seem to get more minutes into a each hour. We are many years older than when we started and our days are too short and made up of too few hours to do everything. This limitation in our business has not kept us from pleasing our customers, nor from growing (as we have every year since 1993). We do what we do as well as we can, and we think we do it very well indeed. We appreciate your business more than we can say. We ask that you use the phone for emergencies only and that you search our site for answers before e-mailing us. This site is bigger than any 4 sprout books put together, it is always available and it is free, and we know that almost all questions are answered here. Thanks again for your patronage and your many kind words. Sproutpeople family |
