Growing Sprouts can be divided into 2 categories. 1- Loose Sprouting-(Alfalfa, Fenugreek, Broccoli, Lentils), this is where you soak then rinse seeds once a day for several days then you eat the whole sprout. The best seeds we have found for this are Lentil, & a mix of Alfalfa, Fenugreek, Broccoli & Radish. There are many different sprouters available the best we have found is also the cheapest & that is a plastic colander which has narrow slots & comes with a drainage bowl. The sprouting method that we use involves soaking the sprouts daily in nutrient rich liquid Seaweed and Magnesium Chloride a, Natural Magnesium from an ancient sea bed, this actually saves you time and greatly enhances the nutrient value that you are receiving from your sprouts (much greater than if you were just using a rinsing or spraying method alone). (See the Examples & Tips tab above or) For More Info. Click On-> Loose Sprouters for Alfalfa, Fenugreek, MungBean etc.pdf 2a- Vertical Sprouting-(Wheat Grass, Barley Grass, Snow Pea, Field Pea, Sunflower), this is where the seeds are grown in a medium & you just eat the green tips, this is where you get your mega doses of Chlorophyll from. The most well known example of this method is Wheatgrass. We use a shallow self watering pot designed specially for this purpose, the height of this pot has been especially designed to allow the correct amount of depth for these type of sprouts, with enough room to be gently covered with a fine sprinkling of coconut fibre which simplifies the process as you do not need to cover them. Great for indoors as they are attractive & with their reservoir do not make a mess & require less watering.
2b- Vertical Sprouting-MicroGreens-(Cress, Mustard, Broccoli, Radish), this method of vertical sprouting is designed for tiny seeds, also where the seed husks become very sticky when germinating, these sprouts are best grown vertically ie in a medium but where the seeds are just placed on the surface ie not covered, therefore only needing a very shallow growing container.
For the vertical sprouting we use a fine-cut, light-weight organic coconut fibre growing medium(easy to spread no soil born contaminants) and liquid Seaweed fertiliser(high in Iodine and trace elements) which is mixed with potassium humate from Gippsland in Victoria, described as 50 million year old compost, the best of its type in the world, providing a rich soup of bio-available minerals and trace elements. We also add Dolomite which is extremely high in magnesium, essential for healthy cell activity, and Azomite a volcanic ash super-rich in trace elements, and Magnesium Chloride, the best way to get Magnesium is through eating leafy greens.
When Hippocrates said "Let food be your medicine and medicine be your food", well we now have the luxury of taking this philosophy to new heights. This allows you to grow your own green leafed sprouts rich in nutrients essential for good health, in-doors, giving you the richest vitamin and mineral supplement & more importantly the most easily absorbed, you could ever wish for. (also check out our 3 Shelf Stainless Stand that allows for staggered growth of 9 pots next to a sunny window). If you don't have an available window see "Salad Greens Under Lights" For More Info.
