| "My
sprouter is ticking over like a new Mercedes. In just 3 days,
it grew the biggest and best mung bean sprouts I've ever seen.
It's everything you said it was and more. I think my sprouter
and I are going to live happily every after."

Buckwheat
Lettuce. These 8 inch tall micro-greens are both beautiful and
luscious. Its large soft leaves practically melt in your
mouth. Buckwheat can go so tall that it exceeds the height of
the sprinkler head. Fortunately, the sprouter is designed in
such a way that the water tube, even without the sprinkler
head, spreads water to all the seeds. |

One of our
most popular flavors is the mighty sunflower. This 8 inch tall
micro-green is rich in flavor, hardy, crunchy, nutty, and a
little piquant. A stimulating addition to any salad.
"Just
wanted to say thank you for getting my sprout machine to me so
quickly. My daughter McCorra and I set it up and started mung
beans and alfalfa. I have mung beans with leaves already!!!! I
am just really happy to have the machine as I went back to
work 2 years ago and have unsuccessfully attempted to keep
sprouting but, the seeds dry out during the day and don't
sprout. Now, the sprout machine does for me what I do not have
time to do. A great item to own!!! Thanks Sproutman."

Double your
pleasure! An extra barrel doubles your growing capacity. Here
jumbo alfalfa (6 inches tall) grows on the bottom and
buckwheat lettuce grows on the top. Start the second barrel
4-5 days after the first. At that time, move the first barrel
to the top position to get light. By rotating barrel position,
the double barrel provides a new harvest every 4-5 days. Each
barrel grows approximately one pound of greens. |
|
Wheatgrass.
The automatic sprouter only grows approximately one pound of
wheatgrass, but with the extra barrel, it provides that pound
of grass every 4-5 days. If this is enough for you, then
you're set. One pound of grass yields approximately 10-13
ounces of extracted juice, depending on height and seed
quality. Don't forget to grow some grass for the cat! |

"The
wheatgrass in my spouter is doing better than in my trays
growing in orgranic compost!!"

Mixtures of
different sprouts are a great way to grow a "tossed salad."
This is our most popular variety "Garden Mix." It contains,
alfalfa, radish, cabbage, and clover. If you grow alfalfa in a
common sprouter, they are only 3 inches tall. Here, they are
twice the size! |
|
To start
sprouting, lay the seeds on the growing tray. Then place the
tray inside the sprout barrel. |
|
Mix it up!
You can grow one, two, three, or four different flavors
simultaneously with the automatic sprouter. Just lay the
different seeds into the 4 sections on each tray. |
|
A second
tray is provided to cover the growing seeds. The dark
environment emboldens the seeds to develop taller and hardier. |
|
Watch it
spin. Plug the unit in and watch the Sprinkler head spin. Kids
love it. Watch them grow right in front of your eyes.
|
|
This shows
the versatility of the sprouter. The growing tray has four
sections. This photo shows one part Radish, one part Broccoli,
and 2 parts Alfalfa. |
|
The
sprouter grows approximately one pound of micro-greens per
barrel. If that is too much, then grow less! Here, delicious
Daikon Radish grows in only one quarter section of the growing
tray. (About 1/4 lb of 6 inch tall greens.) If you're a fan of
radish, you'll love 'em! You control how much or how little
your harvest will be. You're the gardener! |

Super tall
mung sprouts growing in the automatic sprouter. Fresh, long
and juicy. Better than you can get in Chinese restaurants.
|
Don't
forget to get some books! "Sprouts the
Miracle Food" is a gardening and nutrition guide. "Kitchen
Garden Cookbook" has over 250 recipes. Sweet green peas
are in their early stages on the bottom and wheatgrass is
ready to harvest on the top. The entire double barrel unit is
only 11 inches in diameter and about 20 inches high. The basic
sprouter is 14 inches high.

From the
top down, these are the parts the make up the sprouter and
their function.
1) Cover:
Promotes warmth and humidity for rapid growth.
2)
Sprinkler: Sprinkles water intermittently several times per
hour.
Extra one is included.
3) 2
Sprouter Trays: Two identical black trays. The seeds sit on
the lower tray and are covered by the upper tray. Both should
be facing smooth side up.
4) Water
Tube: The blue tube is actually comprised of two sections that
connect.
It channels the water to the sprinkler head.
5)
Sprouter Barrel: This is the big barrel in which the sprouts
grow. You can buy a second barrel to double your capacity.
6) Water
Barrel: This is the bottom section that holds the reservoir of
water.
You can add nutrients or other solutions to the water here,
although it is optional.
7) Water
Pressure Tube: This is the tube with the disk on bottom. It
sits inside the water barrel and controls the water pressure.
Turning it counterclockwise (to the left) slightly increases
water pressure.
8) Motor
Chamber: Holds a specially designed pump with a temperature
sensor.
Do not place this part in the sink or immerse it in water.
