    I would guess that the steeping tab is intended to soften the skin and get the seed to germinate more easily.

    If you manage to sprout without the tab, then yes - just stick it in the WM :)

  • just a quick update on the dried peas front, they sprouted and I'm going to have them with rice/couscous/quinoa type salad with chopped cucumbers and mint. I'm pleased as I only used 1/2 a bag and they are 21p per bag...not bad!
