My guess is probably no, though it could be worth a try if you have some around. I buy my sprouting seeds from either my local health food store or my co-op, and they are intended for sprouting. But if you give the regular ones a try, let us know, ok? :) Hmmm, Kathy, I'm not sure. My guess is probably no, though it could be worth a try if you have some around.

Maybe someone else knows more?

It has to do with contamination with e.coli and/or salmonella. It is thought that it is the seed itself that is contaminated, not the sprouts, so it isn't a factor of how they are grown and I don't think growing them yourself reduces the risk. You could always cook them in a stir fry if you want to feed them to little ones, although I'm not sure how that would effect their nutritional value.

Joy, love the peanut butter ball idea! Sarah, I've never heard anything about children or babies not eating sprouts. Can you remember where you've heard that? I'd be happy to research it. Thanks!

Lentils, millet, oats, wheat... whatever I have on hand. Everyone loves my bread so I don't bother telling them what's in it. *smiles* (I did once and they immediately were turned off at the idea of lentils in it) I sprout all kinds of things and throw them in my bread dough.
