I started sprouting last year and my husband and I are both growing microgreens as well. Good pandemic hobby. I buy the seeds from sprout companies, like Sprout People and the Sprout House. They recommend to freeze the seeds if you have to store for long periods. So I expect that the almonds will sprout since everything else has. Right now, I have cabbage microgreens growing. I also have garlic sprouts, but I am not sure how I am going to harvest them and get the seed pods off. It's a tangled mess.
I like growing these things and I'm having to teach myself to eat them. Some of them are an acquired taste while others are just delicious. It's been fun and keeps me sane during Covid19. I've never ben able to grow anything before, let alone some of my own food.

Maybe they will survive it but if they were not already frozen when you bought them, they may not sprout now that you froze them yourself. If they don't sprout you can still eat them if they taste ok. I don't know if other grains sprout once they are frozen either. I do know that yeast keeps longer if you freeze it though.

I have some almonds to sprout in my freezer. I haven't done it yet. I could try store-bought almonds that I didn't buy special for this purpose, but they might not all sprout. -----Original Message----- From: Cookinginthedark <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Jennifer Thompson via Cookinginthedark Sent: Saturday, August 8, 2020 11:05 AM To: [email protected] Cc: Jennifer Thompson <[email protected]> Subject: [CnD] STRAWBERRY SPINACH SALAD WITH POPPY SEED DRESSING STRAWBERRY SPINACH SALAD WITH POPPY SEED DRESSING SERVINGS: 4 TO 6 TIME: 12 MINUTES INGREDIENTS: DRESSING: 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar 1 and 1/2 tablespoons poppy seeds 1 tablespoon lemon juice SALAD: 6 cups fresh spinach 2 cups chopped strawberries 1/2 red onion, diced 1 avocado, diced 1/4 to 1/2 cup goat's milk feta 1/4 cup sprouted almonds, chopped DIRECTIONS: In a small bowl, mix all the dressing ingredients until well combined.
