    Default Help with sprouting sunflower seeds that have shells on them?

    Hi,

    I bought a bunch of sprouting seeds and got a big bag of the sunflower ones that have the shell on them.

    So I soaked the hard shells for a few hours and then left them in a canning jar and rinsed a couple times a day. So today they have 1/2 and inch sprout on them and the recipe I'm using says to sprout only 1 day but I've had them there for 2 days. The hard shells are still closed.

    Anyway I started opening them one by one and gave up after like 10 minutes because this will take me a month of Sunday's to do. So am I supposed to use them with the shell on them, or wait until the shell opens and sprout longer? There is no way anyone would take the time to open every single one would they? Maybe this is the only way hence why I'm asking for help.
