It takes a lot of seeds to live on sprouts.

You'd better plant some and make more.

I've tested all the whole grains, beans and seeds from the bulk bins (and Bob's Red Mill brand) that I can find (wheat, quinoa, barley, amaranth, chia, flax, rye, sesame, spelt, teff, triticale, and all the whole beans) and all of them sprouted. The ones that don't are split, processed, milled.

These tend to be cheaper than packaged types for sprouting. And since they sprout, you may be able to grow your own. Granted, all of them may not be suitable for your climate or soil, but it would be an interesting experiment.

If you're interested in growing grains, check out the book Small Scale Grain Raising by Gene Logsdon, in print again after 30+ years. It's a really good book.

But if you live in an area of high rainfall (like west of the Cascades), you WILL need to improve your soil, as much of our nitrogen, calcium, magnesium, sulfur and boron are washed out every winter. Nothing takes from the soil as much as food crops, including vegetables.
