I love them but I have a heck of a time getting all the husks/or skins off the beans/seeds.Is there an easier way then just pick here pick there?

Hi again Jackie! Haven't seen you in a while. Hope all is well.

Are you sprouting your own? Sometimes the husks are more tough than the ones I store-buy already sprouted, I don't know why this is. But I generally just don't worry about it and leave the skins as they are, thy aren't too bad...

Sometimes with beansprouts, I'll submerse them in a dishpan of water and the skins "float" to the top and I can skim them off... but this is just as tedious as "picking" I tend to think.

I usually only grow alfalfa and clover sprouts for myself, not beans so much.
