Bob,

I hope we get some replies. Many years ago I did mung sprouts but a recent seed catalog advertized all types of seeds/beans for sprouting- rapini, garbanzo - stuff that I would not have imagined to sprout . Got me interested again in doing this - especially in the fall/winter months. Excellent source of lots of vitamin and minerals.
Mamma Mia !

What area exactly do you need suggestions about, Bob? Technique, seeds, other?

Broccoli sprouts, in particular. They supposedly have some chemical 100 times the adult versions, that can help Janet.

I've found a source here, but it's so pricey .... wow!

I'm sure I can do better -- so far I've found a source of seeds -- $36 a pound, but I haven't really found a useful technique for growing them.l

Thank you Fred -- missed that -- and the seeds are ten bucks cheaper a pound than what I've found. :)

Thanks. Bob
