Sprouting Devices

The Widest and Wildest Selection of Manual Sprouting Devices on This Planet!

They come in many shapes and sizes, though all with the same purpose - to help make you a better sproutperson.

We grew sprouts professionally from 1993-2003. In that time Sproutpeople produced over 200 Tons of sprouts - the same way you do at home: We Rinsed and Drained our sprouts 2-3 times daily, over a sink. We chose to keep our sprout growing a manual operation because we've never seen a machine that can come close to producing the same high quality sprout we can! God knows we searched!

Because of that, you will find that all of the Sprouters we sell are manual. Trust us, sprouting is easy, you do not need a machine! When it comes down to it, manual sprouting even saves you time. Automatic sprouters are very time consuming to clean. And, your crops will be better than any machine can produce. Oh - these sprouters cost less too. WAY LESS.

It is our belief that the simple task of growing sprouts by hand will teach you something about life by teaching you about plants and their needs. Sprouts will become more a part of your life if you tend to them and care for and about them. All that is required is that you spend about 30 seconds 2-3 times a day, Rinsing and Draining your crop. How easy is that?!

Eat More Sprouts + Grow More Often!

All of our Sprouters are BPA free.

Sprouting Jar - 3 Screen Lid Set

$9.87
per Unit

Made by Sproutpeople!

Fine mesh, Medium mesh and Coarse mesh.
Our 3-Screen Lid Set is made up of Stainless Steel Mesh - in 3 different mesh sizes (fine, medium and course) - each nestled in a heavy-duty Plastic Ring. Our Screen Lids fit Wide-Mouth Jar Mason Jars, like those we sell.

The wider the mesh - the more readily water and air pass through the screen. Use the fine mesh (the finest mesh size ever!) for small seeds (Leafy and Brassica sprouts), the medium mesh for Grains and small Beans and the coarse mesh for large Beans.
As your sprouts grow bigger, you can move to a bigger mesh size to improve air-circulation and facilitate the escape of hulls, thus making de-hulling easier.

Bio-Salad Sprouter

$13.13
per Unit
Add to Cart

Bio-Salad is a low-rinse, square, European sprouter with 2 growing trays, a drip tray at its base and a reservoir tray on top.

Unlike Bio-Set, Bio-Salad is a very decent Sprouter.
Our instructions will tell you to use it differently then the manufacturer's instructions (though that's true about almost all of the Sprouters we sell), but with Bio-Salad that is easily done. We use it the same way we use SproutMaster.

Strictly speaking Bio-Salad is no longer available, but this sprouter is identical in design. We rarely sell it individually due to importation issues, but it is part of our Kid's Sprouting Kit

It is great for big seeds like Beans and Grains, and is even capable of growing small crops - like Leafy and Brassica sprouts.

Tray - 10x20 Heavy Duty Planting

$4.00
per Unit
Add to Cart

This sturdy Tray has Drainage Holes. It is great for big crops of Greens, Grass, and Micro-Greens.

If you are growing outside, or have a way to contain water that escapes, this is all you need (though you really should have a Cover Tray too) to produce 1-3 pounds of Greens or enough Grass to yield 10-20 ounces of Juice.

The circular drainage holes in this Tray are quite large. Baby Blanket or Tencil work very well in it. Vermiculite or soil like Mediums are a bit more challenging, as some will escape through the holes. It's no big deal. Don't let that turn you off - these are Very Durable!

All of our Trays are intended for growing Greens, Grass, and Micro-Greens.

Tray - 10x20 Solid Drip

$3.25
per Unit
Add to Cart

This Tray has No Drainage - it is a solid tray. This Drip Tray is the tray that keeps the water off of your floor and which aids in feeding your plants by holding some water for the roots to drink up.

Do NOT plant in this tray, use it only to hold your Planting Tray.

Tray - 10x20 Regular Duty Cover OR Planting

$3.00
per Unit
Add to Cart

This Tray has Drainage Slits. It is good for big crops of Greens, Grass, and Micro-Greens. Due to its relative lack of durability (compared to our Heavy Duty Tray), we use it almost exclusively as a Cover Tray. You may use it as a planting tray if you wish. As long as you are careful with it, it may last through many crops.

If you are growing outside, or have a way to contain water that escapes, this is all you need (though you really should have a Cover Tray too) to produce 1-3 pounds of Greens or enough Grass to yield 10-20 ounces of Juice.

The narrow drainage slits in this Tray are perfect - when used as a cover - for air-circulation. If planting in this tray, any Medium will work well - though the relative lightness of Baby Blanket or Tencil will put less strain on the Tray itself. Vermiculite or soil like Mediums will not escape these drainage slits, so they too are fine and dandy.

All of our Trays are intended for growing Greens, Grass, and Micro-Greens.

Tray - 10x10 Planting OR Cover

$2.25
per Unit
Add to Cart

This Tray has Drainage Slits. It is good for good sized crops of Greens, Grass, and Micro-Greens. We use it as both a Planting Tray and a Cover Tray. 2 of these 10x10 inch Trays fit into one 10x20 Drip Tray, giving you virtually the same planting area as a full 10x20 Planting Tray - which can produce 1-3 pounds of Greens, or enough Grass to yield 10-20 ounces of Juice.

The narrow drainage slits in this Tray are perfect for any Growing Medium - and when used as a cover - for air-circulation.

All of our Trays are intended for growing Greens, Grass, and Micro-Greens, but it is possible to grow big sprouts in this one, thanks to it having drainage slits on its ends. We grew everything in Trays during our time as professional growers, but I'm sorry to tell you that we have no specific instructions on our site for this. If you are determined to try; you can follow the SproutMaster instructions, and figure out the small differences on your own. One of these days we will tell you more @:-)

Bio-Set is a low-rinse, round, European sprouter with 3 growing trays, a drip tray at its base and a reservoir tray on top.

Fine for big seeds like Beans and Grains, Bio-Set is among the most attractive Sprouters.
We continue to offer it due to our customer's demands. Please Don't buy this before thoroughly reading our detailed Bio-Set page.

Kitchen Garden Sprouter

$19.89
per Unit
Out of stock

The Kitchen Garden is a great tray sprouter which is sadly no longer available as of 2013.
It offers excellent drainage, and is the 2nd best sprouter on Earth, for growing vertical Leafy Sprouts. The Kitchen Garden is very versatile - it is even able to grow Grass, Greens and Micro-Greens - with proper care, and perhaps a growing medium.


There are 2 trays per sprouter.
Each tray measures 8 inches square and is 1.75 inches deep.
The manufacturer includes 1 oz. of Alfalfa Seed. It's not our seed, so we can not tell you if it is good. Try it or don't - it's your choice.

Miniature Garden Sprouter

$25.75
per Unit
Out of stock

The only device made just for Micro-Greens!
Sadly the Miniature Garden ceased to exist in 2012. If you have one you know it is a small and attractive device. It's great for growing small crops of Micro-Greens, decorative growing and growing at work.

Using the Miniature Garden is extremely simple. Just sprinkle small seeds on the moist felt pads and watch 'em grow!
Well, there's a tiny bit more then that, but not much.

Not a big crop sprouter, but very fun and exceptionally attractive as Sprouters go!
The Mini-Garden has 4 trays, each measuring approximately 4x5 inches.
When not in use, the trays nestle in the base - which also measures approximately 4x5 inches.

The Tube Sprouter

The Tube is no longer available. We keep its page on our site for those lucky enough to have one. We are sorry. The manufacturer shut down around 2005.
We even asked if they would sell us the sprouting portion of their business. They never responded. It wasn't the best sprouter - Easy Sprout has always been better, but we are sad that it is gone...

The Tube offered very good drainage and exceptional air-circulation. Crystal clear heavy duty plastic made The Tube our top choice for kids who sprout, but it was a great choice for adults too. It came with 3 colorful, plastic Screen Lids and 1 Solid Lid (The same company sold plastic lid-sets - which also vanished with The Tube). It was capable of sprouting virtually any seed.

* - Virtually, in this case, refers to the inability to grow mucilaginous seeds.
This is not a limitation. Mucilaginous seeds, unless mixed into non-mucilaginous seeds, at the proper proportion, need to be grown as Micro-Greens. Micro-Greens are not technically Sprouts. You also can not grow Grass or Greens in conventional Sprouters - unless otherwise stated. Though this sprouter is excellent to Pre-Sprout both of those.
