A part of my quest for nutritious food that I can prepare in my home has lead me down the path of sprouting...I found lots of pages with info. Several of them made the comment that if things were not "done right" some serious bacteria could develop that would cause illness or even death. Is this very common? Should I take this with a "seed" of salt?
Also, I would like to raise them in my home so that I have just enough for one day - so I will be starting a new batch every day. I want to raise them myself so that I know they are fresh, so that I don't have to make trips to the veggie market and so that I know chemicals of any kind are not added to them. I know that I will have to experiment until I find the right number of seeds to use.
Does anyone have experience doing this? I would appreciate any input you have that comes from personal experience. I have only eaten soybean sprouts and pea sprouts. I would appreciate comments about other kinds of sprouts and what kind of taste they have. Is there a sprout out there that has a nutty flavor to it?
