Why a Bag?
People often assume sprouts are best grown in jars. NOT! After guiding tens of thousands of sprouters over the years and all over the world, I can tell you that jars are the number #1 cause of most people's sprouting problems. Let's face it, jars were never intended to be a gardening tool. And although some "green thumb" types can have success, it is limited only to a few basic varieties. You need a garden of greens not a headache. And that's easy as long as you use the right tools.
Made of raw hemp for extra durability. Lasts for years!
"I have been sprouting for years, in glass mason jars; but the sprout bag is unquestionably the way to go. I have several, with plans to buy more." ---Chloe I., Brighton, MA
Which Sprout Seeds To Grow
Sprouting bags will grow any Sprout seed, even hard-to-grow gelatinous seeds like arugula, and cress. But they are perfect for all grains and beans such as mung, lentil, green pea, garbanzo, adzuki, wheat, barley, rye, Kamut, peanut, quinoa, fenugreek, and shelled (silver) sunflower seed. Sure, you can also grow green leafy sprouts such as radish and alfalfa when you roll back the collar to allow more light. See More Sprout Bag Photos. But, a vertical sprouter such as Sproutman's Freshlife gives more light and air and is therefore best suited for greening up baby green and micro-green sprouts.
"I just wanted to say 'thanks' for a great site with loads of helpful information and great products. We just started to grow our own sprouts in Sprout Bags and we all enjoy not only the sprouts, but the whole experience of growing sprouts. It is a great teaching tool for our kids. They love the hands-on work and then tasting what they helped grow. Great job!" Your friend in NY,---Bill Scheps
Sproutman says:
Use one bag for garbanzos, one for peas, and a third for starting wheat for your next batch of wheatgrass or sprouted wheat bread!

| "I purchased a sprout bag last week and just took my sprout bread out of the oven. I'm so very happy with the product. I've been wanting to grow sprouts for years and your bag is so easy. I used wheat berries for my first loaf of bread. It's so good. I also bought your Kitchen Garden Cookbook. You are awesome. Thank you so much!" ---Margaret Anderson, Castro Valley, CA, July 24, 2002 |

| Dear Ellen: I love these sprout bags. They work as well as the Sproutman said they do. Awesome, easy, great sprouts. Thanks! ---Mara Benson |
I invented the fabric sprout bag in 1979 after years of hefting jars from workshop to workshop and breaking a fair percentage of them. Sure I was tired of cleaning up the broken glass, but I was also tired getting your distress calls about getting mold growing in your jars. I put two and two together and after many failed attempts using cotton, I made the first successful fabric sprout bag using flax---the fiber from which we get linen. But flax also has a sister weed---Hemp. Either fiber resists mold and mildew. I promote hemp today because it is so versatile. It can also be used to make paper and rope, building materials, cosmetics, paint, diesel fuel, and food. It s a renewable resource and can put lots of farmers back to work. By the way, hemp grown for fiber does not contain the psychotropic plant compounds found in its famous sister plant---marijuana. Heck, back in the 1700s in the U.S., most documents were written on paper made from hemp or flax. ---Sproutman
