Can I use beans from a snow pea to make sprouts?

I have some snow peas and I wanted to make some edible sprouts. Can I use the seeds from the pos or so I have to buy seeds? And what do I do to grow them?

In the supermarket they are not all mung bean sprouts. You can get alfalfa and snow pea and all different ones.

most regular grocery stores only sell mung and alfalfa. I'm sure that they have other types in specialty grocery stores Organic and such Even though i never noticed i wasn't looking for them. (Worked at a grocery store 15 years )

you can Sprout any seed so yea you can sprout and eat snow peas to answer your question. i assume the directions would be similar to the ones listed below for mung.

the bean sproust you get from the super markets are
Mung Beans

Mung bean sprouts are stir fried as a vegetable accompaniment to a meal, usually with ingredients such as garlic, ginger, spring onions, or pieces of salted dried fish to add flavor. Uncooked bean sprouts are used in filling for Vietnamese spring rolls, as well as as a garnish for ph峄? They are a major ingredient in a variety of Malaysian and Peranakan cuisine including char kway teow, Hokkien mee, mee rebus, and pasembor. In Korea, slightly cooked mung bean sprouts, called sukjunamul (hangul: 靾欖＜雮橂), are often served as a side dish. They are blanched by placing into boiling water for less than a minute, immediately cooled down in cold water, and mixed with sesame oil, garlic, and salt (and often with some other ingredients).
