But, I may not be able to convince you. I can't convince my wife. I've read that seeds watered with microwaved boiled water won't sprout but stove top boiled water will do the job. Let it cool of course. I haven't tried it. It may be that if you microwave it in a plastic container, that makes it bad. I'd try it in glass containers in both cases. I've read about a food cooked in the microwave losing 90% of a certain nutrient compared to about 15% on the stove top. But then, anything you do to food decreases it's food value. That's sad but true. But eating raw food if you aren't used to it , you'll get diarrhea. You can't win in this world. Carl Meyer PTG assoc Santa Clara, Ca.
