Do any of you have any experience with sprouting seeds for kitchen use? I
want to venture into this but could not decide for myself which sprouter is
best. I've looked at what Pinetree Garden Seeds, Johnny's Select Seeds and
Park has to offer. Kindly share your experiences guys? Thanks in advance!


You don't need a sprouter. Save money and use a large glass jar. Put in
the seeds and rinse well then drain. Cover the top with muslin and lay
the jar on its side. Rinse and drain the beans daily until they sprout -
as easy as that and doesn't cost a bean!

Hi Frankie,

I agree with Rwakeford about using muslin or even better, cheesecloth. You can also get plastic lids with a mesh type screen that is all one piece and screws into just about any jar. Look for these in a natural foods or health food store. Here's what they look like. You don't need to buy the jars.
