The All-in-One Seed Mix does not require full sprouting. Unsprouted or uncooked legumes cause gastric distress. Many Parrot species eat seeds in their natural habitat. Most of these seeds are germinated, a process that turns seeds into little power packets of nutrition. When soaked, they activate their slumbering nutrition and get ready to produce a plant. Right before they open and start pushing out the first little sprout, the seed is at the top of its nutritional state. Knowing that feeding our Parrots an organic seed mix soaked for 8-12 hours, just long enough to produce the same effect as the natural germination is optimum. The All-in-One seed mix can be fed dry, soaked, or sprouted. Contains Organic Barley, Organic Rye Berries, Organic Spelt, Organic Kamut, Organic Buckwheat, Organic Hulled Millet, and Organic Pumpkin Seeds.
