I have a “Fresh Life” automatic sprouter. It automatically irrigates the seeds every day and all I have to do is change the water out every day so its fresh. The sprouting time is the same but I like it because I don’t have to remember to rinse the seeds multiple times a day. They sell around 100.00ish (if I remember correctly) but well worth it if you are interested in serious sprouting. By the way…the nutrient value sky rockets up to 400 and 700% depending on which seed you use, so well worth the work and storage in your time of scarcity, or for daily use. I also like to dehydrate my sprouts and mulch them up into a high vitamin powder to be used in a shake or drink.

Next time you might try making sprouted wheat bread- [http://www.dadamo.com/forum/archive5/config.pl?read=13910]. I haven’t tried it yet, but it looks interesting.

I’m not sure exactly what you are asking. You can sprout pretty much any
bean or grain. Just look up specifics on the one you are looking to sprout
as some of them have different methods. Hope that helps a bit.

I agree with Megan–absolutely love the Easy Sprout. It's what I recommend. And Rebecca, the Easy Sprout comes with an insert for use with smaller 'salad' sprout seeds like alfalfa, radish, broccoli, etc… I have a small tray sprouter and it doesn't drain well enough for the smaller seeds for some reason. I have had them go bad because of this. If you are careful to rinse really well and drain your sprouts well, and keep you equipment clean, you'll have great success. My favorites sprouts are mixes. ProVitaMix is awesome and sprouts in just 1 1/2 days and then you can use some and let the others grow a little more. I do about a weeks worth at a time and eat them in various stages. They're all good. I like lentil sprouts best when they're small–and lentils are in the ProVitaMix. The other mix that I use is a salad mix and I love the mild radish flavor–much milder than the actual radish. Check out the good nutrients you get with the ProVitaMix @ http://www.lifesprouts.com and they have a great price for them in bulk to share with friends! You can find it at Kitchen Kneads in smaller bags and the salad mix, too.

I don’t agree with that statement. As long as you rinse and drain and don’t use contaminated water you should be fine. Most sprouting lids provide plenty of air circulation. I have an aversion to growing things in plastics although there is no data showing that it is harmful.
