If so, which stores have them? I've tried sprouting beans myself, but they're not turning out very well.

I find them at farmers' markets. Would help for people to know where your are in order to respond to your question.
Sprouted mung beans are pretty common in grocery stores. You can usually find alfalfa too. Not sure about the others, I've never seen them. I just got 5 lbs of mung beans I'm going to try to sprout myself. I haven't quite figured out what I want to put them in to sprout them yet. I'm thinking a big colander so I can put some weight on them as they grow so they get nice and fat.
Quinoa needs very short sprout times or they get icky. Only sprout them 24 hours or so after soaking.
Most of our health food shops sell 2 or 3 sprouted seeds/beans. Mung are available in all supermarkets here.
Sprouting your own is very easy.
Now that I have started daily sprouting I can't imagine ever stopping.
Depends which Country you are located. In the State, you can find them at Whole food. Many health food store has them. If you get Alissa's dvd, she tell you how to do this yourself. You can find it also on youtube.
Yes, but they are far inferior to fresh sprouts that you have grown yourself. It's really not difficult at all to do, either. Go to this thread on sprouting if you're having trouble.
There's hardly any point to having sprouts if they're not fresh.
they are fresh. They are still growing.
The only sprouts I've seen in stores are already starting to wilt (like virtually all produce you can find in stores).
They are still growing in shops here. Even the mung beans which I think are the most common and the quickest to wilt.
