HI Sheila I would only sprout them a couple of days, after three days they start to get bitter the longer the sprout end grows. Then I dried them in oven & they tasted just like roasted, but better for you!! Then I ground them in my food processor with a touch of healthy oil. Voila-healthy peanut butter, if there can be such a thing!! It tastes just like the old stuff!! Good Luck-Karen > From: Sheila Shea <[log in to unmask]> > To: [log in to unmask]
