![]() Been sprouting these for 4 days and since day 3, they have started to turn pink/purple. Is this still ok to feed.? Why are they doing this.? Could I be rinsing too many times a day.? I do rinse them between every 2-6 hours to be sure that they aren't drying out  |

They look okay to me. It just looks as though the outer casing of the seeds are coming off which is normal.

Agree with Hezz, they look ok. I find here in the US, organic sprouting seeds don't seem to mold like regular ones. Rinsing every 6 hours is plenty good. Rinsing with apple cider vinegar helps prevent mold. Follow that with a couple fresh water rinses. Good luck! My two budgie boys love their sprouts. |

Thank you. I don't see anyone elses roots/seeds turning this colour so wasn't sure. Will have to get apple cider vinegar.

It's probably what colour they are under the husk. What are they?
