My Sprouters

[melissa68]

In preparation for my new bird, I've ordered the Easy Spouter and this other system. The other system arrived today.

I have used the Easy Sprouter for alfalfa and french green sprouts for my hubs and me to put on our sammiches and it works great.

I think this other sprouter will be good for the bird sprouts that don't grow into greens. It comes with 4 trays, so you can use one, two, or all four and was around $16 from Amazon (Victorio VKP1200 deluxe kitchen crop 4-tray seed sprouter)

Fantastic!! Another dancing banana for you....

I just ordered some sprouting stuff too! I dive bombed @rockoko 's thread and figured I should go for it too! Both for the birds and for me!

Another option for you is the sprout master. It's what I have used for the last 12 years. I love them and they are so well made that I still have and use my orginal.

Very nice! I’m currently working on my 1st ever batch right now (on day 2 after the soak). I see the little tails breaking through and I’m so happy! I have a “black thumb” - actually I’ve managed to kill a cactus before which is supposed to be almost impossible. I just got a mason jar with 3 different size mesh lids to start, but now that I know I can do it I’ll look into these better options

Good luck to you, your future birb will appreciate it!

I just started my 2nd batch ever...lentils...and I see tails too! Yay for you too!

Once you start sprouting you will not stop. My birds get them everyday. It was scared me to try and then my friend showed me how she did hers and I have been doing it ever since.

 

[JoJo&Loki]

I can totally see that happening! It makes me happy to be involved in making something healthy for them.
I can’t wait to try sprouting so many different seeds/mixes!

@rockoko that’s for your 2nd batch!

I saw that sprouter on Sprout People but wanted to spend a bit less money. Don't you love Sprout People? Has anyone tried the bird mixes from Spout People? I got a pound of little bird.

I also don't know about sprouting for humans except for the microgreen spouts on sammiches. What other sprouts for humans? I mean, I know we can eat all sprouts but what specifically and how do you use/eat them?

I have heard some people on here like the bird mixes, I just ordered a sampler and the microgreens kit because I love sunflower sprouts! Sprout People actually has a recipe section! I'm planning to work them into salads and slaws.

Thanks for the tip, I checked out the website and will def be trying the lil bird mix.
Also....look guys! I harvested my 1st crop this am on day 3, and they are BEAUTIFUL
@javi I can absolutely see what you mean, I’m already starting my 2nd batch! It is addicting lol
Melissa, I’m so excited for you to start sprouting when you get your baby! Soo fun

 

[JoJo&Loki]

And.... they love them!

 

[rockoko]

And.... they love them!

Your first crop looks fantastic! Look at them eat!

Guys I built my system for about $5 & they seem to do a good enough job for now.


Next upgrade will be S.S. Rings for my mason jars & a couple of stands for them. I already made the craft mess strainers, I'll just use the non-rustable rings (this next time around)

Unapproved Vendor's has better prices than the sprout people for different beans. They look great, I just haven't made them yet.

 

[JoJo&Loki]

@Rain Bow I love that you made your own! And yes, I can confirm Unapproved Vendor’s sproutables are awesome. That’s what I’m using! The ones in the pic are the Gourmet Grains and they are beautiful, organic seeds

Do you have to soak the gourmet grains overnight first before sprouting?

Marsha says 6-12 hour soak on the site I did 11 the 1st batch and yesterday I soaked for about 10
