Sold out seeds
I’m brand new to sprouting, so this might be a dumb question. But why are so many seeds sold out across different websites? For example, beets are sold out on the last 3 sites I checked. Are seeds seasonal like produce and purchasing requires good timing? Or is something else going on?

White bean sprouts -
Once in a while I make this slow-braised sprouted beans. Usually such dishes are made of overnight soaked beans 🫘, but I always cook with sprouted legumes.

Beginner sprouted questions
I've grown interest in sprouting recently and gave in and bought a starter kit with a bunch of trays and a mix of seeds, the first picture is a tray with radish and lentils and the second one should be green bean and lentils (not sure if correct the mix package is in Italian so idk if im translating correctly).
They've now been growing for 4 days, giving them water twice a day and was wondering if they're ready.
If they are ready how do you eat sprouts? Like what part of the sprouts am I supposed to eat? Do I need to cut off the roots at the bottom?

How to remove the hulls from my first broccoli sprouts harvest?
And yes, I may be harvesting a bit early. These were grown over four/five days in a hemp bag. Should I put them back in the bag for another day or two? And then I’m flummoxed as to how to remove all those hulls! Thanks in advance.

Think I made a mistake.
It's been some time now but at one point my S.O thought it would be a good idea to keep all the seeds together.. I don't recall having this happen before the last seeds got added but now it seems like this issue is happening more often. Any words of wisdom on how to best deal with this, I believe I need to separate them in different containers but not sure how best to make it happen.

Broccoli Sprouts Keep Smelling "Fishy"?
I've been trying to grow brocoli sprouts using a sprouting tower (3 stackable trays with drainage holes so the water you pour into the top can trickle down and gets collected in a basin at the bottom), and even though I rinsed them 3-4 times a day, they keep smelling fishy after about 3 days. I've even tried growing them on the trays seperately on kitchen paper without coverinh them, only spraying the seeds with water so there's no chance large amounts of water stand in the trays and it doesn't get too humid, but they started smelling fishy again. I've cleaned the trays thoroughly with dish soap and hot water between each attempt, and even soaked the seats in a mixture of water, vinegar and dish soap before trying to sprout them. But even though the sprouts look good and grow very well, they keep smelling like fish or seaweed. Is that just how they're supposed to smell? In the beginning they just smell like cabbage but the odor changes drastically after a few days. I'm really close to just giving up. Do you have any tips or ideas why this is happening? I keep throwing the batches out because I read the smell could allude to bacterial contamination...

Volunteer sprouts or weeds?
I have about 10 different plants in my garden and they’ve been growing well with minimal issues! After doing a walk through yesterday, I noticed bunches of tiny green sprouts in my sweet potato fabric bag and shallot container.
The growths have a hard and round bulb and the roots are pretty deep. I’ve removed them from both grow bags but I cannot find an answer to what these might be. Also set a few aside in water to let them grow because I’m just curious.
I have chipmunks and rabbits that hop around from time to time (even with barriers to keep them away). Other things I have growing nearby: cherry tomatoes, strawberries, mint, marigold, watermelon, corn, sugar snap peas, banana peppers, carrots, blueberries, Cherokee purple tomatoes
What are we thinking?
