Sprouting Seed Mixture is a popular treat for birds and can enhance a bird's diet by providing essential vitamins, minerals, enzymes and protein. The mix consists of high quality seeds like mung beans, sunflower seed, safflower and barleys. Each seed contains all the nutrients necessary to sustain plant life, but will remain dormant until placed in the right environment to begin germinating.When air, water and suitable temperature are provided, seeds begin to sprout. It is at this time that their energy is released and all of the essential nutrients are made available. The normal dried seed is turned into a fresh vegetable and by this process the overall food value is greatly increased. The highest food value is obtained when the sprouts are around 5mm in length.
Sprouting Seed Mixture is made from chemical free, fresh Australian seeds.
