A couple of days ago I googled home grown sprouts and found lots of info that helps you grow your own so you can safely enjoy sprouts.
Here's one "recipe" site: How To Grow Your Own Alfalfa Sprouts: Part One
Unfortunately a site I found that seemed to have everything seems to be down today: http://www.sproutpeople.com/ Hope its just a temporary web problem ...
We grew sprouts a long time ago but the sproutpeople seem to have some interesting mixes and LOTS of info - just FYI. ;-)

Best way to grow sprouts is in a clay flowerpot that keeps it all moist but doesn’t drown them.

Yes, I really like sprouts and know how to grow them. The problem is that the conditions that they are grown, time and temperature, are almost the perfect conditions for growing some harmful bacteria....so it can be dangerous to eat them raw....if you check the FDA site, you will see they are one of the worst causes of food poisoning. The only safe way to eat them is to cook them, unfortunately. But, it kind of like raw oysters...some people still eat them and take the risk, because they are so good
