These seeds have been just great for sprouting. Each pack contains all the nutrional info and sprouting directions. Each type of seeds sprouted quite nicely -- I'm having some of the best salads ever.

Much to my mother-in-law's surprise, I have managed to turn my husband into a veggie eater over the past few years. We started with things we knew he could tolerate, like peppers, and branched out into whatever caught his eye at the grocery store. If you've ever bought sprouts at a grocery store, you'll understand why - once he discovered he not only tolerated but LOVED sprouts - we opted to start growing them at home. They're so much cheaper, we have access to a variety of types and they're always available fresh, so long as we're willing to rinse them daily.

This sampler has been an excellent way to try a variety of sprouts without committing to a huge quantity of any one kind. So far, we've had successful germination of all that we've tried, and - despite the cold, gray winter - enjoyed the fresh, summery taste of our bounty. I love that the seeds are Certified 100% Organic since you're usually eating the whole thing. For those who wonder about origins, I had one packet with seeds from China (Mung Beans), one from Canada (Broccoli) and the remainder from the USA.

I am disappointed that although the title of the product states "10 Different Delicious Sprout Seeds" there are really only 8 different sprout seeds. There are 7 single varietal packages, listed in the title (Alfalfa, Mung Bean, Broccoli, Green Lentil, Clover, Buckwheat, and Radish), and three packets of mixes: Bean Salad, 3 Part Salad Mix and 5 Part Salad Mix. The Bean Salad includes Adzuki Beans along with a mix of the single varietals, and the 3 and 5 Part Mixes are just blends of the included varietals. Another reviewer had mentioned that there were mixes included, but I'd expected the mixes to have new types of seeds included, for a total of 10 different seeds, not just 10 total packets.

I do like that the packages include information on planting and harvesting, which is especially helpful for those new to sprouting. Resealable bags would have been a definite plus, since each packet contains enough seeds for multiple plantings, but sandwich-sized Ziploc bags work well to keep the seeds once opened.

Ultimately, I would recommend this product with some reservations, and I haven't found a better sampler package for sprouts than this one, which is both organic and fairly priced. I am pleased with the quality of the seeds and will buy from this company again when we use up these.

This sampler selection was the best, most economical way to try out the different kinds of sprouts available.

I'm pleased with the selection that was included. The seed mixes were well balanced with not too many of the really spicey varieties mixed in. Virtually 100% germination, and the packages contain enough for several batches. I'll happily buy this brand again.

I like most of the sprouts from this sampler. Best for first timers to try what they like.

I haven't sprouted for over a year and wanted to refresh my memory... which varieties I liked best. I like the organic claim, especially for broccoli which is hard to find in that state.

PROS:
*This is a nice variety of seeds for someone just starting out or for someone who wants to try new things
*This would make a very lovely gift basket addition
*I used my counter top sprouter from sproutpeople for all of these (except the buckwheat) and highly recommend it as it works with all varieties.

CONS:
*Three of the packets are 'mixes' which defeats the whole point of having a sampler. I can mix seeds... I'd rather have three more varieties to try.
*There is excessive packaging, but if the producers must package like this, a ziploc top would be great as I used only 1/4 of a package each time.

I love sprouts, and have been unable to find either sprouts, or the seeds in stores in my area. This is a perfect assortment, with SO many different varieties I had never tried before. Growing your own sprouts is SO simple and easy; no green thumb required!
Seeds arrived VERY quickly, in perfect condition, and the price was very reasonable.

This sampler is great! My husband and I have tried almost every one of these packages and been enjoying our little indoor sprouter. We live in a fairly small town and cannot get sprouts from the grocery store, so this is the perfect way for us to grow our own! The set is very reasonably priced and will probably last us for at least a couple years, even with our regular use. All of the sprouts have grown quickly and taste great. We haven't been able to figure out how to get the mung beans to grow fat like the ones in the store, but they still taste good!

The organic seeds when used with the Evergreen Automatic Sprouter work extremely well. They grow very quickly and lush. Like the idea that they are organic.

These seeds are perfect! I got a huge variety of sprouting seeds that will last me awhile.
The seeds are strong and have a high germination rate. My Mung Bean seeds started sprouting
after just being soaked 8 hours in water. Great Packaging, fast shipping, everything is excellent!
I will surely be buying from them again because they offer quality seeds for a good price!
