Sprout fail!

Do not use old beans or old seeds of any sort. I have noticed that planting seeds are usually marked with something like "Packaged for 2011" or something like that.
This caveat applies to sprouting to as what is sprouting but coaxing growth from a seed.

I made the error of using old orange lentils this evening. After a brief soak the did not have the crispy alive texture that I would have expected to find. Instead the water was discolored and the lentils were for the want of better descriptors, mushy and dead!

Epic fail.
