best sprouter for sprouting seeds

I save clear enclosed plastic containers you get from fast food joints. For example, the new KFC meal containers have a clear plastic lid and three compartments. Just put dampen a paper towel, place the seed in the towel, put the towels in the KFC container, and close the lid and they will stay moist more or less. This one place I go to serves salads in a totally clear plastic container that snaps and seals shut. I save them during the winter, use them once for seeds and then throw them out.

Hi Frankie,

I agree with Rwakeford about using muslin or even better, cheesecloth. You can also get plastic lids with a mesh type screen that is all on piece and screws into just about any jar. Look for these in a natura foods or health food store. Here's what they look like. You don' need to buy the jars.

You don't need a sprouter. Save money and use a large glass jar. Put in the seeds and rinse well then drain. Cover the top with muslin and lay the jar on its side. Rinse and drain the beans daily until they sprout - as easy as that and doesn't cost a bean!
