    Clover, radish, alfalfa, broccoli, onion, celery, and cabbage are the ones I've tried. I like buy a "garden blend" already sprouted with: onion, radish, clover, and cabbage. I must say that I think Celery is the best though! Then again, I love celery lol.

    Default Best tasting sprouts

    I love the green pea sprouts. They are ready in about a day after soaking. Lately I have been sprouting the larger seeds because I have been having a problem the smaller seeds going sour before I can eat them.

    I like lentils, peas and chickpeas. I also buy a spicy mix from sproutpeople that includes radish among other things. I just eat them as is.

    sunflower greens are bomb! i have never sprouted them but a friend brought some up from a greenhouse in miami and i think they were grown from the black shell ones in soil for like a week. they were about 4-5 inches long and tasted like sunflower seeds in a green form. go figure

    sesame sprouts are really good also

    i eat the broccoli sprouts but only because they are so good for you because to me they taste like raw mushrooms and i cant stand raw mushrooms (brings back some old memories in the cow fields lol); although marinated mushrooms are absolutely amazing.

    mung beans are great.

    i havent tried this yet but im such a fiend for oatmeal so i am gonna sprout oat groats and then blend them with some honey and have a real raw living oatmeal. nunna that dead acidic dried flake crap, which i succumb to quite frequently but makes mee feel sooo bad

    My favourites are mung bean, mustard and cress, and beet sprouts.

    Thanks all! I've been putting sunflower sprouts on my salad and I'm enjoying them! I bought them pre-sprouted. I've yet to sprout my own. My copy of Alissa's book is with my friend, so I'm missing my sprout chart!

    I think I'll try to sprout sesame :)

    My very favorite sprout is lentil sprouts. They are sweet and spicy at the same time.

    I like garlic sprouts.

    Default for those who like mung bean sprouts

    How long are you letting them sprout before eating them. I sprouted some and they were very bitter. I believe that I read that they are sweet at the beginning stage. I let them sprout for 2 or 3 days. Obviously that is too long if I want the sweet taste. So, did you just let them sprout one day or 1/2 day and then put them in the fridge?
