A good Certified Organic SPROUTING berrie(seed) is never treated with any pestatcides(chemicals) or has any PROTECTIVE chemicals to prevent bugs from investing the crop. MANY people are hypoallergenic to these type of seeds when injesting their wheatgrass juice.

ALSO>>>A sprouting berrie grown for SPROUTING (Not cereal or grain for bread) is only cleaned 3 times....not 4. (less handleing, better germination.

I buy a pallet of certified organic sprouting seeds at a time (50 1 lb bags.)...9 years ago they COST my about $18.50 a bag.......NOW they cost me about $30.oo a bag!!! WHOLESALE.

If you are paying $10.oo for 50 pounds as you say.....Not only would I question the quality of the seeds....but possibly what they are treated with???
