The Seed of the Idea: Picking the Perfect Candidates
Choosing the Right Seeds: In the realm of indoor sprouting, some seeds shine brighter. Alfalfa, radish, broccoli, and mung beans are the stars of the show, thriving in cozy quarters and racing to harvest. These are your go-tos for sprouting success in any urban jungle. Head on over to our Microgreens & Sprouting section to explore a number of different seed options.
Setting Up Your Micro-Greenery
1. The Mighty Sprouting Jars: Got a tiny kitchen? No worries! Sprouting jars fit neatly on windowsills or countertops, making them ideal for sprouting enthusiasts short on space. Just add seeds, cover with mesh or cheesecloth, and you're good to grow. For an extra helping hand, our Sprout Huggers turn any jar into a sprout-producing powerhouse, simplifying the process and adding fun to your sprouting adventure.
2. The Towering Tiered Trays: If you're keen on variety, tiered sprouting trays let you grow multiple seed types at once, saving space and spicing up your sprouting game. It’s like having a multi-level garden in your own kitchen!

Sprout Care 101
- Twice Daily Rinses: Keep your sprouts moist and mold-free with regular rinsing.
- Drainage: Let them drain thoroughly; soggy sprouts are unhappy sprouts.
- Harvesting: Your sprouts will be ready to grace your plate in 3-7 days, looking their leafy best.
- Storage: Post-harvest, they'll stay fresh in the fridge for about a week, waiting to jazz up your meals.
From Garden to Plate
