The seeds smell strongly of garlic as soon as they get wet.

If your expectations are successful, grow your own garlic sprouts in your sprout tray, they should be grown for about 14 days until the stem is 10 cm long. At that stage, the plant will typically have wiped the hard shell of the elongated leaves.

REMOVE THE BLACK HULLS

When you buy the ready-made garlic sprouts in the supermarket, there are often black seedlings on the sprouts. It’s nice to look at, but the seed shells are hard to chew and taste bitterly.
