sprouting unshelled sunflower seeds
«

I am very new to sprouting, only a few weeks, and am loving it. I wasn't aware, however, when I ordered the Sunflower Seeds that they had to be grown in soil. Instead, I decided to follow general sprouting instructions and some I found on line (advising after soaking, to refrigerate in water--which I've changed daily) and have gotten some sprouts. But as I've been learning more about sprouting, I wonder if these are safe to eat? Are the remaining shells safe to eat? I haven't tried any yet. I'm concerned, because I've let them grow/develop for a week, and perhapd they've gone past the nutritious point and into harmful results. Or perhaps there was never a point where they were safe to eat? I hope someone can help. Thank you.

I grow mine in a FreshGreen Automatic Sprouter without soil. I takes approximately 7 days for them to grow up to 4" tall. I then rince them very well removing the leftover shell and eat everything else, roots included and so far have had no problems.
Take care, Paul.

I hadn't heard of this. Internet search has come up with few sources, but other names: Fresh Life Automatic Sprouter and Sproutman's Automatic Sprouter that look/sound similar. Can you recommend a source for FreshGreen Automatic Sprouter in the US? Thank you for your reply. You've given me encouragement to continue trying to sprout sunflower seeds..
