Sprouting seeds vs regular seeds

[Norvegen]

What is the difference between sprouting seeds and regular seeds?

I've only tried to sprout regular non organic peas so far, opposed to sprouting peas, and they turned out just fine.. no difference in germination rate at all...

I suspect that the label "sprouting seeds" is mostly a way to charge more for the seeds....?

probably just same seeds like your thinking . but be careful if sprouting seeds sold as garden seeds because some are treated

[Norvegen]

No, not garden seeds.. I was thinking more of "edible seeds", like peas, lentils, wheat + +

When I think of it, I've also had success with regular organic "food lentils"...


Gardens seeds are just as expensive as sprouting seeds... (?)

same here with regular seeds like wheat out of bulk bin at whole foods etc

i just threw the caution up about treated seeds when you mentioned peas because i didnt want someone to possibly sprout a pack of treated pea seeds after reading this
