SPROUTING 101
New to sprouting?
Here’s a crash course to get you growing your very own sprouts!
First things first…
what are sprouts?
Sprouts are baby vegetables at their earliest stage of growth. All plants must go through the sprouting stage. If microgreens are plant toddlers, sprouts are infants.
At this young stage, precious nutrients stored within the seed are fully unlocked to help the little seed grow into a big, strong plant. Each seed is a true treasure trove of nutrition and benefits—and sprouting is the key.

How To Get Growing
No green thumb required.
All it takes is a little one, two, three!
Step 1:
SOAKING
Pour seeds into your preferred grower + soak them in water at room temp. For most seeds, an overnight soak is perfect, 6-8 hours. The most important thing is to avoid over soaking your seeds. Check your variety for specific soaking times.
Step 2:
GROWING
Once soaked, drain the water. Give your seeds a quick but thorough rinse 2x daily.

Meet Your Growers
Choose the best one for you and your sprouts.
Sprout Bag
A natural hemp bag with a breathable weave, the Sprout Bag mimics the sprout’s natural environment—dark soil. Hang above your sink to grow almost any sprout!
Jar
Sprouting in a jar is easy and beautiful, although it takes up more counter space. Grow your sprouts in a glass jar with a mesh lid and keep them slightly inverted to encourage proper drainage and airflow.
Tray
Tray style growers (like the Turio or the Freshlife 3000) can grow almost any sprout, but are essential for vertical sprouts like sunflower, pea shoots, and wheatgrass. These wide tray growers allow sprouts to grow straight and tall!
