Guest guest Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 Yes, plus there have been problems with sprouts in this area. Some bacteria in them making people sick. Bean sprouts I think it was... I think the warnings are over now though. Still, makes you not want to buy them anymore... Sorry I can't recommend any sprouters I have not bought one yet either...

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 Someone mentioned this site in a recent message http://www.sproutpeople.com/ Also check Ebay And google The Sprout Man (Stever Meyerowitz) I simply put a handful of seeds in a quart Mason jar, rinse, cover with 'good' water and let sit for 8 hrs., then drain. Rinse 2Xdaily till you see sprouts emerge. Lentils are fast, alfalfa and broccoli take 2-3 days. Bottom line, all you need to grow your own is a few Mason jars (lid screens are sold in healthfood stores that fit perfectly on Mason jars, which are required for 'tilting' the jar at a 45 degree angle after each rinse -- they gotta drain or they'll rot) Our public library has several books -- Meyerowitz's for one -- that describe all this, though I'm quite sure it's on the web as well. Once you grow your own, you'll never buy another batch from the store. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 I've been using the " The Sprout House Kitchen Garden Salad Grower " for several years now. I really like it for its simplicity - and it looks cute on the kitchen countertop. :-) http://www.sprouthouse.com/sprouters.htm (Scroll down the page to see it.) " This sprouting kit Includes 4 trial samples (total 8 ounces) of our most popular organic sprouting seeds, (Alfalfa, Red Clover, Daikon Radish, Fenugreek)....

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 I either use the easy sprout, which I have had forever. It is a tank and very easy to clean, or I use a sprout bag. The sproutbag is _very_ useful for sprouts that tend to get mushy or mold easy, you get alot more airflow with it than any other type. Also helpful for folks who are in high humidity areas. I hate the jars, such a pain! I also do wheatgrass in a fine mesh colander set into a bowl of water so the roots can have water. So much easier than dealing with soil. However if you want to do alot of wheatgrass it isn't the most efficient setup. It works for me though since I don't do that much.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 I have been sprouting with just a jar and cheesecloth and now are ready to get something that works a bit better. Any suggestions of sprouters that you have all used and are pleased with it's ability for draining and cleaning Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
