Guest guest Posted May 14, 2002 Report Share Posted May 14, 2002 My husband wants to start sprouting. Can any of you recommend any specific sprouters? Or steer us away from bad ones? Any other suggestions? This one looks easy, but is this a good one? http://www.sproutamo.com/default.htm Trin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2002 Report Share Posted May 16, 2002 Thanks a ton, Norm! I really appreciate that info. We (hubby, myself, & 2 kiddos) are not raw, just vegan. My husband and I are interested in the whole family going more raw then we are now, and sprouting seems a logical next step for us.

I really appreciate that info. thinking about it... i believe the main cause of sprout failures is not rinsing the sprouts a minimum of twice a day. poor seed would be #2. > > We (hubby, myself, & 2 kiddos) are not raw, just vegan.
