Oh my God... this video is so much better than the instructions in the box for leafy sprouts. I never realized you were supposed to sit the inner sleeve up a little like that! I wasn't rinsing enough - I was doing mini soaks instead of rinses, and I never saw any instructions about dehulling at all. Dang. It's amazing the thing was working as well as it did over the years. It's even better now. And to think I was already recommending these things to people :)
I absolutely LOVE your easy sprouter. I've tried many techniques before finding these on your website, seems like it's been at least a dozen years. By far the easiest and most successful way to grow sprouts. I start one container a day and have enough containers keep a steady supply of sprouts going.
I have this and for those of you wondering, it takes about 3 days of regular rinsing before they are leafy enough to take out and eat. Make sure it is in a room in open air away from direct light though.
I use a mesh bag. Put the growing insert into drain position, place the whole thing into the bag. Swing it around a dozen times and the sprouts are dry. Empty the water out of the solid contain and place the sprouts in back in the drain position.
This is the best video ever. I bought the same sprout kit from you and a pound of alfalfa seeds and I add them to everything. From sandwiches to salads and random things in-between. My 2 year old eats handfuls of them at a time. Thanks again for the quick shipping :)
Assuming soak overnight and your 1st rinse is in the AM the next day.... Day 1: AM rinse & drain PM rinse & drain Day 2: AM rinse & drain PM rinse & drain Day 3: AM rinse (de-clump) & drain. ok to move to indirect sun to help green up. PM rinse & drain Day 4: AM rinse (de-hull) & drain PM rinse & drain Day 5: AM (harvest optional) or rinse & drain, PM (final) rinse & drain Day 6: AM harvest time
I love my easy sprout. I've been using it for a few years although I only make sprouts about once a month. It has never failed me and the results are delicious.
Great video, thank you. I just can't understand how people can say this is too much work. I have mine near the sink & every 12hrs or so, rinse & drain. If that's too hard, you really need help. Go buy them from the supermarket & contribute to the ridiculous commercial world we live in. Convenience sucks & it's the reason big business gets bigger & greedier & why so many small businesses suffer these days. The more small things you can do for yourself, the better.
8:26 Try to BE the sprout. hehe :) Glad to see how the Easy Sprouter works from start to finish. I've been enjoying a glass jar & mesh lid so far. Even though it's plastic, I'm more interested in the Easy Sprout now. Time for a side by side experiment! Peace, Lauren Lionheart
What about to put the spout in to the salad spinner and gently drying them while separating them with a fork or by hand ? Thanks for your advise

Hi and thanks for the video. I just started sprouting aprx 6 months ago. I have a jar sprouter with the ss screen lid and black cover. My question is do I not need the black cover after a few days? It looks like your sprouter gets some light and my biggest issue is wondering how long to keep sprouting before putting in light? Hopefully this makes sense.
I would love a little more “hand-holding” on the video…. Like closeups of the pieces.. Its ok to be friendly and make these tasks FUN too… Wasnt happy with s.p. Cust serv over another product, but the company is GREAT for promotion of sprout growing!!!!! YEAHHH!! Thanks for teaching us how to fish!😊
i'm guessing the reason my sprouts have been doing poorly is because I've kept them in the kitchen cupboard for the first few days and I haven't been breaking up the sprouts. Hmm. I'm wondering if by not doing this it's causing the sprouts to suffocate because not enough air is getting to all the sprouts. The result is that my sprouts rot on day five or six and look water logged but it isn't because I wasn't rinsing them properly.
How do you snap the small seed insert into the growing vessel? I am not able to snap it into place, no matter how hard I push on it. You can't shake it vigorously to drain the water if the insert isn't firmly affixed to the growing vessel.
I’m having the same issue. SproutPeople, can you help? Are inserted the alfalfa insert wrong? It pops out when I rinse or shake it so I don’t even use it now but I need to because the small seeds fall through. It’s frustrating because I sprout for a small bird using quinoa, sesame, flax and millet seeds.
@@lindacannon1354 Mine snaps in place, however when I do a smaller batch it doesn’t stay well unless I’m very careful. I’ve resorted to doing larger batches and freezing them with my bird’s veggie mix for a few months at a time instead. Ironically, I’ve seen another parrot owner who just drops theirs in and seems to have no issues with it coming out (and she sprouts weekly). The batches she does are large though, which probably helps keep it in place.
I've always wanted to try sprouting. Now I have a reason to go to taco bell and grab a frutista freeze. I'll poke holes in it, and the lid, and toss some seed inside!
2 heaping tablespoons is a lot of sprouts for 1 person to eat in 2 days, as is recommended! Does this sprout system work also well for just half a tablespoon I wonder??
According to instructions with my easysprout there is no need for all that rinsing. Just starting using it but no problems so far from not rinsing... Comments?
Baga So it has been 5 years. Hope you have not sickened from Salmonella caused from under-rinsed sprouts...www.foodsafety.gov/keep/types/fruits/sprouts.html

Hi Kathryn McMorrow - BagaYaba is right. The Sproutamo is supposedly better due to its unusual design, which means that (among other advantages) the sprouts require little or no rinsing. Check out the instructions carefully. (yeah, it is a tough read, but the info is there!)
@ I think youre right ive tried to grow broccoli sprouts. I rinsed and drained thoroughly but the plants smell every time..i think its due too often rins..
Like one person said, snap on the un-perforated lid, put the cup in a bag, e.g. mesh, plastic, etc. (come to think of it, even old pantyhose would do, if in a place like outside) and spin it in circle rapidly (centrifugal force) to expel the water. Get your exercise every 12 hours!
great video but the victorio sprouter make it even simpler. there's no slinging water out or stirring with a fork. plus it comes with 4 levels that stack and take up very little room.
The instructions on the packaging says WARM water. The packaging instructions are HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!! SproutPeople, You NEED to get your packaging and instructions redone. Srsly, who wrote this instructions guide?!
You are making your instructions too complicated and repetitive. How about just telling us to rinse the sprouts twice a day and leave it at that. I have a couple of your easysprout devices and I do like them.

I thought I was the only one. I use a nut milk bag and swing it around. 😝
Wow😂
This is the best video ever. I bought the same sprout kit from you and a pound of alfalfa seeds and I add them to everything. From sandwiches to salads and random things in-between. My 2 year old eats handfuls of them at a time. Thanks again for the quick shipping :)
Since using the Easy Sprout, my life finally got structured... 12 hrs later... ;)
Heeheeheeheeheehee
👏😂
I bought two of these on ebay a year or so ago. They are VERY easy. I prefer them over my glass sprouting jar. :D
Revisiting this. Thanks for the great product and instructional video.
Your web site is great with all the sprout info and your seeds are excellent. Thank you for everything.
Assuming soak overnight and your 1st rinse is in the AM the next day....
Day 1: AM rinse & drain PM rinse & drain

They do NOT need "sun". Of any type.

Seriously. And the ones you buy at the grocery store go bad in a day or two. These will last for days! It's ridiculously easier, and cheaper too!
I'll let my dad know you say so! He'll be happy to hear this. Couldn't agree more.
my 12 hour schedule is right in line with when I feed the dogs. 7am and 7pm. easy peasy
This video is perfection. I am going to skip amazon and purchase what I need from you, even if it's a few more bucks. Small business for the win!
I love sink, just ordered some sprouters and seeds on Amazon so I am going to be learning from you - thank you sir!
Great instructional video, it's very helpful. Thank you for this!
"Be the sprout. Try it!" hahaa! love it!
Thanks for making such a helpful and interesting video. Peace and love

Staring at 6am instead of 12pm saves you from getting up at midnight!
This is a great, and very thorough, video- thanks so much!! ✨🌱✨
be the sprout.
12 hours later..... for the rest of my life....
thats my pops for ya! lol
You know the drill by now?
Be the sprout.
my first sprout video. Thanks for the tips.
Thank you, very helpful! I did lose track of how many times you rinsed though, how many days id that take to be ready for eating? Cheers

Thanks for teaching us how to fish!😊
I can't wait to get my hulls off.
I get the gist but how many days was that?
i'm guessing the reason my sprouts have been doing poorly is because I've kept them in the kitchen cupboard for the first few days and I haven't been breaking up the sprouts. Hmm.

you have not mentioned how many days this takes till the leaves come up
Thanks so much for the post. You are awesome

You have the older model probably, newer one snaps in place!

when do you add the GSE, during the soaking process?
I've always wanted to try sprouting. Now I have a reason to go to taco bell and grab a frutista freeze. I'll poke holes in it, and the lid, and toss some seed inside!
I know this is an old video but my alfalfa sprouts grew yellow. They are freshly picked and the leaves never turned green - are they ok?
How many days does this whole process take??
2 heaping tablespoons is a lot of sprouts for 1 person to eat in 2 days, as is recommended! Does this sprout system work also well for just half a tablespoon I wonder??
Can you add a link to the storage bags, TIA
“Be the sprout” 😁
How long do you soak them initially. The instructions that came with the Easy Sprout are horrible
I usually just soak mine over night. 8 hrs or so
Why don't raw white sesame seeds sprout?
Thank you !
So the benefit here is yield ?
Thanx

You really don't need to shake the crap out of them. Just let them drain on your own. It looks like he's breaking his sprouts.
be the sprout!!!

if you truly need to drain them so thoroughly, it may be wise to invest in a salad spinner that your ez-sprouter cup could fit into.

healthy but spilling so much water...
We save our water and use it in our garden outside.
To much work
