Hi everyone,
For those of you who sprout quinoa, how long does it generally take you? I've been trying to sprout mine for 4 days now, and I still don't have any sprouts.

Sprouting quinoa

It takes less than a day. How long did you soak it? Is it organic and truly raw?

Weird you should ask..I just started some today for the first time.
I just drained the water after it finished soaking.
Revvell, you said it should take less than a day to sprout? Can I wait longer and have it a little bit greener too?
I suppose I should rinse it as well periodically? I'm excited to make some raw tabouli:>
Thanks for any tips,

For me, quinoa is the quickest of the sprouts. Only needs a few hours soaking ~ about 4-6 if I remember correctly, then place in jar at an angle to drain/sprout. Might have sprouts by the next morning. Leave them in the light to get color (don't remember them greening yet I guess they will).

Great...I'll concoct a yummy (hopefully) tabouli with it tomorrow..I imagine it retains a good deal of crunch to it. Do you eat grains often Revvell?

I soaked them overnight. I guess my seeds must be no good, although they are organic and truly raw.
I've had them awhile. Funny thing is, when I first bought them, I had the same problem. I guess they must have been old when I bought them?"Non-violence leads to the highest ethics, which is the goal of all evolution. Until we stop harming all other living beings, we are still savages."

Possibly soaked them too long and drowned them. Try 4-6 hours and see what happens.

Yes, it seems like I may have soaked them far too long. I'll try again. Thanks for your help!

Try try again...
Still no luck sprouting quinoa. I only soaked them 4 hours. I guess my seeds must be old. I'll try new ones. I sure would like some quinoa sprouts!
