A pound of radish seeds is probably at least 4 months supply of sprouts.
1 oz of seeds at a guess would make a lb of sprouts or more. And a lb of
sprouts is probably 4 or 5 meal side dish garnishes, additions, salad
ingredient, sandwich condiment...whatever.

In fact a lb might be overkill unless your timing is good.
