my radish sprouts look furry, help!
Posted by: meganbubbs ()

Hey guys,
I forgot to rinse my radish sprouts this morning & when I got home this afternoon they seem to have grown little cilia/ hair like fibers on all of them.
This is my first go at radish sprouts so I was wondering if this is normal for the radishes, or if it was my bad forgetting to rinse them and maybe it's mold or something, but I highly doubt that because the alfalfa which I also didn't rinse looks fine. Does anybody have any experience with this?
Thanks

OK, I guess they are just "root hairs" and are normal. Yay

Certain types of sprouts will do that, the same thing happened to me (can't remember with which batches, I have so many). All the sprouts I've had so far have been alright if I (unfortunately) miss a chance to water. There's nothing like sitting up in bed, after you're all warm and cozy and the house is cold, "...I have to water my sprouts."

i've got some fenugreek and cress on the go. nothing furry but the cress is a slimey bugger! hard to rinse that mess every day, lemme tell ya! i should look for a chia head to sprout that gunk on.

i remember the first time i saw root hairs and thought they were mold, ha ha! freaked me right out.
