Product Description

Product Description

The Kitchen Crop Sprouter is the easy way to produce fresh, high-quality sprouts in your own kitchen. In just 2-4 days enjoy healthful sprouts in soups, salads and sandwiches. Grow up to three different flavors at once. The Kitchen Crop sprouter makes sprouting fast, easy and fun. It produces a variety of fresh, crispy sprouts in just a few easy steps. First, pour seeds into the trays. Next add water. Exclusive siphon action distributes just the right amount. In 2 to 4 days you'll harvest a bumper crop. The Kitchen Crop sprouter is reusable so you can grow nutritious sprouts year round. Spread out the seeds evenly in the tray (about 1 tablespoon will produce a tray full of sprouts). The quantity of seeds used depends upon your individual requirements. The seeds will expand tremendously when wetted and will occupy approximately four times their initial volume. The water from the cover will flow down automatically from one tray to the next, thanks to the action of the siphon in each tray. At the end of the siphoning process, excess water will collect in the base. Empty the base when top trays are completely drained or before next watering. Depending upon the temperature and the type of seeds being grown, the sprouts should be edible in 2-5 days. If fresh sprouts are not to be consumed the day they are picked, they can be kept for a few days in the refrigerator. Rinse sprouts well under running water before eating. It's Easy: Add seeds. Add water. Enjoy Sprouts!

4.0 out of 5 stars Like it, March 12, 2009

Three times the sprouts with the three tiers. Did experiment a bit and found that by soaking the seeds for 4-6 hours resulted in better sprouts (soak them in one of the bottom tray without the spigot and then transfer them over to the other clear trays with spigots).

5.0 out of 5 stars Makes sprouting easy enough that you'll actually do it., June 17, 2009

By	Amy Finlay (western Massachusetts) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've had this for years and it works great. It's a big step up from the jar method. Sprouts do not get jostled when rinsed, so they grow neatly in an upward direction. Water drains surprisingly well for perfectly horizontal trays. Just add water to the top 2x day, and empty the accumulation in the bottom as needed.

I rinse it in the morning and before bed. It quickly became a habit for me. Once I start it going, I will just add new sprouts to a tray as I empty it, and I'm never out of sprouts. If I'm wanting an extra amount of sprouts on hand, I'll add a double amount to the newly emptied tray, and then transfer half of it to the next one that becomes empty. This gives the sprouts a head start, and if they're transfered to their final tray within a few days, they'll still grow nicely in an upward direction. I find this is important with alfalfa sprouts, because you don't really want the foliage part to get flopped over once it gets going, or it retains too much water and might require a third rinse per day to guarantee freshness.

One note regarding the flow between levels: sometimes the unit requires tipping towards the little spigots to get the water flow started. One can also do this to drain the few drops of water that remains in the trays if one desires.

5.0 out of 5 stars awesome product, February 24, 2009

By	Paul Holtman - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

the most cost effective way to water sprouts, instead of buying some expensive auto-waterer, this only needs you to add water once a day and it does the rest.
