Just what I ordered...seeds. I planted them and within 7 days they are green and several inches high. i am growing this for a wedding centerpiece and It's beautiful, so I didn't eat it. but my rabbit did, and she approves!

Wow! I just bought this to grow at home and they are going a long way. I like that they are packed in separate packages. Pretty good.

As I am writing this I can see these seeds growing. Just kidding but it has been 4 days and each and every seed has sprouted and is over an inch tall. I cannot believe how fast these are growing. I am looking forward to juicing these seeds. I have 2 15x9 plastic containers sitting next to my AeroGrow AeroGarden Pro 200 with Master Gardener 1-Season Kit and Gourmet Herb Seed Kit. The light from this bleeds over onto the wheatgrass seeds. I dont know if its the lights, the soil or the seeds but these are amazingly fast growing seeds.

I didnt even bother planting the seeds. I just sprinkled them on the surface (like in nature), of damp soil and covered it with a cellophane covering. They have all dug in and have jumped up.

I will update this review after we try the first juice from these.

Overall a fantastic product, performs better than advertised!

Thank you for reading my review.

I bought these seeds through wheatgrasskit web site - it is not a secure web site. I was stupid bought anyways though that site and had false credit card purchases made within 2 days of purchase.

Also I grow my wheatgrass by hydroponic, and the seeds don't so so well. They are slow to spout, the roots are rotting quicker than the growth. So I'm not getting a tall grass to juice with plus I have to watch the mold. Also I thought all seeds would be equal, but even the taste seems different and my stomach has to have smaller amounts of juice. My biggest regret is purchased 20lbs because I juice ALOT, and regret buying from this vender.

I hope other buyers have better succes. Mine was just not so good.

I have the EZ Green Sprouter. When I bought mine, I bought the seeds from the same company too. The cost was a bit pricey so I checked Amazon's. I went ahead and placed an order for one 5lb. Granted, I'm not new to growing Wheatgrass, I followed the SAME simple steps but with these new seeds. I am AMAZED! Not only do these seeds produce green blades of lush grass, but there is NO mold! Whereas in the seeds from the EZ Green Sprouter, their seeds grow skinny, light green and moldy wheatgrass. I love my EZ Green Sprouter, but their seeds cannot even compare to this merchant's! Normally once my wheatgrass starts to mold, I would have to start cutting them, separate the mold and then extract the juice. With these seeds? The grass is still growing even higher than my EZ Green Sprouter and with NO MOLD! I am so thrilled to have found a product that is a great value and delivers excellent quality. I am yours for life~! Thank you!

The quality of these seeds is excellent. They begin to germinate for me in 24 hours and in 3 to 5 days they are ready to use. I've never sprouted seeds with results as good as this. I can easily recommend these to the sprouter, whether for human consumption or your four legged friends.

Im growing wheatgrass to juice and so far these seeds are growing FAST! every step has been shorter then expected. Well packaged! each bag was the correct amount that i use for one tray. :)
Each tiny seed is taking off..if i drop one while planting i make sure to find it! lol these seeds are alive!
definitely will order from again..which will be after i run out hahaha

I ordered these seeds to grow for my animals. The packaged arrived in terrible shape with seeds spilling out everywhere. I am not sure how much volume was lost on the trip (I did not weigh it).

I did germinate the seeds as directed - which was very easy. The germination rate was good and the grass was very nice.

My cats (and my dog) love it and I also gave some to the neighbor who also loved it.

The product itself is good - they just need to have better packaging. A thin plastic bag in a mail envelope is not the way to go.

We are growing wheat grass like mad, and enjoying the benefits of the wonderful juice we extract from the sprouts derived from these auspicious seeds!

I had previously, somewhat negatively, reviewed this product as the germination rate was extremely low when growing hydroponically. This means the sea kelp soaked seeds were placed in a Master Sprouter tray or a tray from my old Fresh Life electric sprouter, covered with a the vented lid from the mesh I had bought at Jo-Ann's crafts, wetted with sea kelp spray, put in the dark, misted or lightly sprayed with tap water or sea kelp mixture 2 times a day until the green shoots appeared and then put on a kitchen shelf near a window to continue to grow to 7 inches and green up. Germination rate was so low, it was not worth repeating. Kitchen temperature is about 78 degrees.

Since then I have switched to an organic soil, vermiculate, perlite mix. Using about 1 inch of soil in the Master Sprouter trays (Sproutpeople.com) and following the same process as above, the germination rate is excellent. Thick crop, very green. HIgh yield juice using a Healthy juicer.
I have now reduced the soil to 1/2 inch to see if I can get away using less organic soil. But at this point I am very please with this 5 pound bag of wheat berries, even though they are smaller than my previous order from Dogwood Farms.I was very please with Dogwood's product and phone help, but, when it was time to order I could not remember the name of the seed (Genisis) nor the company name so I bought from Amazon instead. In previous Genisis crops growing in a full 2 inches of soil I have gotten a second cutting. We will see if that is possible using less soil and this current source for the seeds.

Con:
Either due to the extremely hot weather, or the seed source, I am getting a ton of mold on the seeds themselves, but not the grass. I did not have a mold problem with Genisis seeds. Once the weather cools down (Arizona desert, although the room is kept at 78 degrees, we will see if the mold is still happening. If so, then the organic label of the seeds may be in question. In previous years, when I used non-organic wheat berries from Whole Foods Market on a whim, the white and green mold was fairly thick. When I switched to Genisis seeds from Dogwood Farms, there was NO mold. Same time of year. Only time will tell.
