Why a Sprout Bag?
People often assume sprouts are best grown in jars. Indeed, in the hands of
a diligent gardener, jars can successfully grow several varieties of sprouts
but jars were never designed for sprouting. Their popularity has more to do
with their wide availability and free cost than with their merits as a gardening
tool. Any serious sprout grower will soon run into the many limitations of jars
as sprouting devices. While there are other types of sprouters available with
different features, the sprout bag is a perfect substitution for the jar, with
several advantages. A little sprout history lesson follows.
The Dark Ages of Sprouting - THE JAR
* Never designed for sprouting.
* Poor air circulation. Small opening limits air.
* Incomplete drainage. Stagnant air & water promotes mould growth.
* Open end requires cheesecloth, rubber bands, screens, or lids.
* Cheesecloth over mouth collects bacteria.
* Unsuitable for sprouting many vegetables, beans and gelatinous seeds.
* Prone to breakage. Difficult to transport. Accidents ruin crop.
* Take up valuable kitchen space.
* Time consuming 4 steps. Fill up, pour out, tilt at an angle, drain.
* Cumbersome to handle multiple jars. Difficult to get hands in and out.
* Takes up precious refrigerator space and shelf space. Fixed size.
The Modern Age - THE SPROUT BAG
