What is sting/burning in back of throat while eating sprouted sunflower seeds?
Hi, I’ve seen many questions regarding sprouted sunflower seeds for birds, but i’m asking for my human self. 
I soaked, then sprouted some raw, unsalted sunflower seeds. They’ve been going for 3 days. Except for some brown spots on their little buds, they’re lovely & seem eager to grow.
When I eat them, I feel a stinging/burning feeling in the back of my throat. It seems this is not a good sign… I did a few google searches and came up with confirmation of this feeling but no detailed reason.
Do you know?
Thanks very much in advance!
I’ve never sprouted sunflower seeds before but i have theories: Maybe the stinging’s from phytic acid… the soaking & sprouting may not have neutralized enough of it. Or, maybe some kind of mold grew on them (do they require more frequent rinsing)?
Sprouted nuts are indeed safe/healthy for humans to eat. Other animals can eat grass/hay because the bacteria in their stomachs can digest cellulose. We don’t have that bacteria so we can’t eat grass… but we sure can eat nuts!
