Recommend disinfecting your seeds prior to sprouting, bc if not properly disinfected, all seeds have the possibility of carrying foodborne pathogens. It's recommended that you disinfect the outside of your seeds and your sprouting container prior to sprouting. There are many methods of seed preparation ranging from rinsing with hot water or soaking in hot hydrogen peroxide, to washing with vinegar, a diluted bleach solution, or grapefruit seed extract. The current recommendation to use in the home is by heating for 5 minutes in a solution of 3% hydrogen peroxide at 140F. It is important to maintain this temperature using a clean, accurate cooking thermometer. Exceeding this temperature may kill seeds resulting in poor germination. Remove seed and rinse under running room temperature water for 1 min.
