 Great sprouter for beans and grains Mar 01, 2010
A very easy-to-use sprouter that works especially well for beans and grains (I prefer the old Mason-jar-with-stainless-mesh-lid method for green sprouts). It works so well, in fact, that I was caught off guard when my last batch of lentils (which I previous used jars for) grew faster than I expected, and got to leaf stage!
Would be a great sprouter for kids.

awesome! Feb 26, 2010
I'v never sprouted before and got this for my vegitarian 9 year old son. It is so much fun and so easy I can't even believe more people don't do it. I appriciate everyone's ratings here because you all (not I'm not southern)helped me decide to try it. With a total of maybe 5 minutes over 4 days, you get a few cups of sprouts. (probably quicker than finding in a grocery store, where you have to bag, twistie tye, scan, load, unload, wash....) We got the salad mix. They taste delicious although our daughter who is younger, thinks the mix is "too spicy." I like the bite to it though. I put them is taco shells, on tomatoe soup, on salad, eat with crackers and cheese. They are very flavorful. Thanks everyone!

 Need better instructions Feb 11, 2010
As a novice I found the directions obscure and unhelpful and had difficulty with my first try. Only after reading other reviews did I comprehend how to do sprouting.

Works Great Feb 01, 2010
We wanted to start heading towards more 'raw' foods, and many recipes we found required sprouts of one type or another. I ordered two of these sprouting jars/cups, and they work great. Sprouting is now 100% hassle free. I've already recommended these to others, and wouldn't hesitate to do so again.

Can't get over how simple it is! Jan 21, 2010
For about a year I'd been using a two tier plastic sprouter, about five inches square with a base, two clear trays, and a lid. It worked but I wanted to try this Easy Sprout and I am so glad I did. It is incredibly simple and works perfectly. I use mine for broccoli (I buy organic seeds from Sprout House) and I find I do not need the small seed insert that comes in the kit. The included instructions are ridiculous and if you go by them you will think it's too much trouble to make your own sprouts. All I do is put the inner cup inside the outer cup, pour 1/4 cup of seeds in, fill with water, and let soak overnight. Next morning I lift the inner cup (which has a perforated bottom) out and pour out the soak water, replace inner cup (with soaked seeds in it), fill with water and let the seeds rinse, drain again, I do that twice at least. From then on it's just a matter of rinsing and draining twice a day. This sprouter makes twice as many sprouts per batch compared to the two tiered square sprouter. You can use the Easy Sprouter to store your sprouts in the 'fridge but I have another system for storing so I don't. I have a colander that fits inside an old Tupperware iceburg lettuce keeper. I put my drained and somewhat air dried sprouts in the colander inside the lettuce keeper and put the lid on. That way my sprouts have room to breath and are up in the colander with air circlulating around, yet still covered. Works great. Update - Two small changes would make this sprouter even better - give it some color somewhere because it's nearly invisible and being tall you can easy knock it over not realizing it's sitting there. The other improvement would be to make the little ledges that hold the inner container up in the high position easier to use. They are very slight and slanty so it takes some effort to get the stays of the inner container to rest on them.
