Default Sproutamo sprouter

Years ago I got one of these, and enjoyed using it. I put it away two
years ago when I moved, and I just found it again. I have a batch of
"salad mix" sprouting right now.

I've owned several sprouters over the years, and they just didn't work
out. I had a glass one that sort of worked, but the cats knocked it off
the shelf and broke it. I next got one that consisted of a burlap sack;
it sort of worked as well, but I had to be scrupulous about keeping it
clean lest it rotted, and it had to be hung somewhere while sprouting to
catch the drips. The Sproutamo is all plastic, so is almost unbreakable,
and it catches its own drips when you rinse the seeds. I find it very
easy and convenient to use. www.sproutamo.com

I usually get my seeds from Starwest Botanicals; they are not especially
cheap, but they have a nice selection and have been very dependable over
the years. They're a pretty good source for bulk spices, as well.

Back when alfalfa sprouts were the rage, we just used a pickle jar with a lid
that I punched holes into with a hammer and nail. Still have the lid in the
container drawer.

I had several of those sprouters which I used frequently on the raw vegan
diet. My favorite sprouts were chickpea and radish. This is where I got my
seeds and supplies:

My mom had purchased plastic lids that went over jars.
