Edible Sprouting Medium

Date: November 22, 2015 11:33AM Hi,
We've been asked to try and sprout Teff for eating. Our client wants it in a "carpet" that looks like grass on a plate. Our process is usually sprouting on organic potting soil. We'd be willing to use another substrate that is edible, but I'm having trouble finding one. We've tried germinating without a substrate and it looks horrible, nothing you would want to eat. Plus, we need to keep it within the realm of substrates for other reasons. Germinating it on soil makes the Teff look great, but you can't eat potting soil, so we're kinda in a problematic situation. Thanks for any help, William Re: Edible Sprouting Medium

But you still have to cut the tops off, right? I'm new to growing sprouts vertically like grass, so that's why I'm asking! Tks. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
