I have read that they turn terribly bitter once they start sprouting. You
can try anyway, just run a handful in a blender with water. Let the slurry
settle and pour off the water, repeat till the water is clear. It ought to
taste mild once that's done. If still bitter, too bad. I have read
something about squirrels biting out the tip to prevent them from sprouting.
