Perguntas das equipes de compras
Respostas às perguntas mais frequentes feitas por compradores durante RFQ e avaliação de embarque-teste.
Why is sprouting-grade seed different from agriculture-grade?
+
Sprouting seed must meet food-safety standards (Salmonella absent in 25 g, E. coli O157:H7 absent, Listeria absent in 25 g) because consumers eat the sprouts raw. Agriculture-grade seed has no microbiological spec because it gets planted, not eaten. Sprouting seed costs 30–60% more, ships in food-grade liners, and carries extended microbiological COA. Never substitute agriculture-grade for sprouting use.
What is the typical Salmonella incidence and how is it managed?
+
Industry data shows 0.1–0.3% Salmonella detection rate in untested raw seed lots. We test every export-bound lot at an ILAC-accredited origin lab and reject any positive lot. Steam-pasteurised lots (DriedFresh or comparable HACCP-validated process) further reduce risk; some buyers (US, EU sprouters) require steam-pasteurised seed by regulation. We supply both raw-tested and steam-pasteurised on request.
Mung sprouting versus alfalfa sprouting — different markets?
+
Mung-bean sprouts are the high-volume Asian / GCC retail product (bean-sprouts in Chinese / Thai cuisine, GCC Indian / Pakistani diaspora retail). Alfalfa sprouts are the Western salad-bar and clean-eating product. Broccoli microgreens are the premium nutraceutical-marketing tier (sulforaphane content). Different markets, different price tiers, different packaging — specify clearly on PO.
What is the seed-to-sprout multiplier?
+
Mung beans: 1 kg seed yields 6–8 kg fresh sprouts in 4 days. Alfalfa: 1 kg seed yields 8–10 kg microgreens in 6–8 days. Broccoli: 1 kg seed yields 6–8 kg microgreens in 7–10 days. Buyers planning sprouting facility throughput size their seed purchasing against weekly retail-pack demand and multiplier ratio.
Can you supply organic-certified sprouting seed?
+
Yes — USDA Organic, EU Organic (ECOCERT), and Halal-certified sprouting lots are available for alfalfa, broccoli, mung, and lentil. Premium 25–40% over conventional. MOQ 1 MT minimum for organic-track. Documentation includes the organic-cert plus the standard food-safety microbiological panel.
