All seed sourced is put through a variety of tests to ensure the seed meets all federal regulations for commercial sprouting seed.
Additionally, SunGarden Seed now offers a validated seed purification process that provides up to a 6-log reduction in pathogens. This Organic non-thermal process uses a plant-based liquid to achieve a validated sanitation step that meets all FDA guidelines for sprout production.
