It’s normal for the skins to come off. However, they shouldn’t turn strange colors. Do you have good drainage (i.e. a jar upside down and at a 45 degree angle – using a dish rack works well)? Are you rinsing twice a day with room temperature water?
I don’t do this, but some people add a small amount of citric acid or hydrogen peroxide to their rinse water to help with mold problems. The key to sprouting is good drainage & thorough rinsing. If you have been doing this, then perhaps it’s bad seeds.
I wonder if these seeds taste funny? If so, I’d say discard them.
thanks for the reply! i just threw them out. I will try yet again… haha I just bought a book called the sprouting book by ann wigmore. so far its interesting and very helpful. i’m hoping the next batch will work. I sprouted quinoa and buckwheat and they were both devine. but the lentils didnt go so well.
