I wish I could find a source of radish seeds for sprouting so I could
sprout my own. Just love those sprouts. I put them in salads mostly or
sometimes I just eat them plain. But you've given me the idea to try
them on a "sandwich" made from one of those new (gluten free) teff wraps.

If you can't find them locally at a health food store, I'll bet you can
get some on line. :-)

They really are very good!

Thanks! I did not realize Territorial sold seeds for sprouting. How
does $14./pound seem for seeds for sprouting? I've never sprouted
radish seeds before.

Sorry, I didn't realize that there are different seeds for sprouting and
for growing new plants. I assumed, or didn't give it much thought, that
all seeds are meant to sprout. I can see that $14.00 a pound seems
excessive for sprouts meant to be eaten in one or two meals. MS

A pound of radish seeds is probably at least 4 months supply of sprouts.
1 oz of seeds at a guess would make a lb of sprouts or more. And a lb of
sprouts is probably 4 or 5 meal side dish garnishes, additions, salad
ingredient, sandwich condiment...whatever.

In fact a lb might be overkill unless your timing is good.

Johnny's seeds sells radish seeds and gives the number of seeds/oz.
For radish it is 2175 seeds/oz. That should keep you busy for a
while.
