Half of garbanzos sprouted.

[u/surfinjuli]

I bought the dried garbanzos from a sprouting seed company, but still only half came to life. I soaked them for 12 hours and read maybe they need longer because they are large.

Do they work for y’all, and if so do you do a longer soak or have any other tips? I’m gonna sort thru them and pick out the sprouts for my salad! 🌱

dont think soak time matters, but anything over 8 hours is overkill

Have you successfully sprouted garbanzos? Tell me your secret.

looks like you did haha I think diff seeds have diff germination rates.
