1. Soaking
Rinse glass jar, lid and desired seeds thoroughly under cold running water. Place the required amount of seeds (different seeds require different quantities) in the glass sprouter and cover with cold water. Allow seeds to soak for required time.
2. Rinsing
Turn the glass sprouter upside down, emptying all water from the sprouter. Rinse the seeds with fresh cold water and empty immediately. Remove the lid and rinse separately with fresh cold water. The more thoroughly you rinse the sprouter and seeds, the more you will improve conditions for growth of the shoots and sprouts. After rinsing, replace the sieve lid and tilt the sprouter upside down using the stand to angle the sprouter to ensure that all the water can drain away (it is best to place the sprouter on a shallow bowl or similar object for this.
3. Placement
Place your Glass Sprouter in a warm (18-22°C), light position away from direct sunlight.
4. Growing
Rinse your seedlings 1-2 times per day. Gently agitate the seedlings in the Glass Sprouter regularly in order to separate them. Avoid the build up of too much water or moisture.
5. Harvesting
Your live shoots and sprouts are ready for harvesting within 2-5 days; herbage plants – like Alfalfa – will be ready in 6-8 days.
After harvesting, clean your Glass Sprouter thoroughly with a mixture of water and vinegar and allow to dry naturally. Both the jar and sieve lid are dishwasher safe (up to 85°C).
