Question about recipe and sprouting

[healthy grandma]

I wanted to make the Sunny Pate'. I soaked the sunflower seeds, and then put them in the sprouter in the morning....when I got home I never made the recipe, but put the sprouter and seeds in the refrigerator. That was 4 or 5 days ago. they look ok....not slimmy, I have rinsed them and put them back...

Are they ok to use..or should I start over? I don't want to waste them...but I don't want to get sick or have the recipe not turn out.....

How do they smell? If they smell earthy then you should be fine, if they smell sour then they are not fine. I've stored sprouts in the fridge for a week before without any issues so I'd imagine you'll be ok. Just check the smell and try a small taste. They should still taste mainly like sunflower seeds.
