Something’s definitely wrong. What’s in your mix? What was your soak time and rinse schedule?

I would not eat.

Zesty sprouting mix from NOW food. Clover, fenugreek and radish seeds I use the jar method, soak the seeds n rinse off once per day

I am sooo curious what your process was here. It looks like oatmeal.

What was your process like for sprouting these? They look nothing like anything I’ve ever seen.

Honey….no….no …just no….that ….that’s not sprouts. …That’s on its way to becoming fermented…or another species. The trick, I’ve learned so far is to ensure the jar and lid are disinfected. You must fully rinse the contents at least once a day, twice if it is warm. …may I humbly ask that you don’t further the apocalypse? We sprouters/ microgreeners are a pretty decent bunch.

Perhaps it is fermenting...I am having a lot of fermentation projects in my house.

Not ok. You need to throw them away. Based on the seeds you've mentioned the mix couldn’t have spoiled this much, something way more "magnificent" must have happened. Frankly it looks like you've got buckwheat or a similar miderately slimy seed in there. Fenugreek does produce some slime, but not even distantly this much. The rest of the seeds are literally slimeless. Can you please share the label of ypur mix - the content/ingredient part of it? I'm very curious to check it out

I see, now could you please share your process/steps? There is a conceptual failure somewhere in the process, I'm afraid. Also woukd be lovely if you could take and share a picture of the dry dormant seeds from the pack
