@mousiegirl   The seeds will sprout up to the top of the wide mouth  jar.  I checked Todd's site when I ordered.  Seems shipping was high.  I have prime.  I will be sure to check again when I order another bag. Thanks!  I love sprouts!   On toast with cream cheese, on salads, on sandwiches.

I grew them years ago and then stopped because they can get salmonella.How do you prevent that from occuring

I love sprout people. I've been sprouting for years. I have lids that fit canning jars, the Easy Sprout and the Sproutmaster tray sprouter. My favorites are the French Garden  mix, Russian mix, and the Spicy mix is really good too.

Use clean water and wash your hands before handling, especially if you've been touching raw meat. It's just common sense stuff. I've never heard of a home sprouter getting salmonella from their sprouts.

Oh I also have a hemp bag that I use for sprouting, but it requires more frequent rinsing that the jar or tray mothods. It works great especially for larger sprouts like mung beans though.

I've been trying this, too.  I also bought my seeds thru a vendor on amazon.  I started doing it for the cats and well since we can both eat the sprouts, it works out pretty well.
