Natural Roots Stainless Steel Sprouting Tray is designed for cultivating a variety of sprouts and microgreens. This user-friendly model is ideal for beginners, featuring a plate on the top and bottom. Experienced sprouters can maximize their efficiency by “stacking” multiple trays, enabling the growth of different sprout crops simultaneously. Enjoy fresh sprouts any time of the year with these general instructions and helpful tips.
General Instructions:
- Wash the stainless-steel tray with warm soapy water.
- Place seeds (2 – 3 tbsp. for seeds, 1/4 – 1 cup for beans) in a bowl. Pour fresh water over them and let them soak for about 8 – 12 hours.
- Transfer the saturated seeds to the sprouting tray. Spread them evenly and rinse with fresh water. A water sprayer in your sink can assist in even seed distribution. Utilize two plates—one as a base and one as a cover with the sprouting tray in between.
- Rinse seeds with fresh water every 8 – 12 hours, two to three times a day. Tilting the tray towards the sink helps remove excess water. Sprouts will emerge in approximately 1 to 3 days, and you can let them grow to your desired length.
- Keep the top plate on as long as possible. While sprouts do not require light for healthy growth, removing the plate at the end of the cycle adds a touch of green. Be cautious, as the “greening” process can lead to a bitter flavor.
- Harvest your home-grown sprouts when ready by gently pulling them out with your fingers. Roots are edible, and some sprouts, like Brassicas, may exhibit root features that resemble fungus, which is a natural part of the root, not actual fungus.
- Store sprouts in the refrigerator. For extended freshness, avoid watering them about 8 hours before harvesting to prevent excess moisture before refrigeration.
