They care for money - not for the Earth or your health. There are way too many sprout growers who label their product "organically grown" even though they have absolutely no connection to organics - except that they wish to derive extra profits by associating themselves. Beware the sprout grower/seller who claims that they are organic because they don't use fertilizer or pesticide. It is for that reason that sprouts that do not use organic seed can not be certified organic. When you eat a sprout you are eating the seed. Sprouts have been blamed for several food-borne illness "outbreaks" (see our food safety page) over the past decade, and it has been true in EVERY case, that the seed used was NOT organic.
