This sprouting lid is made of a durable food-grade plastic with mesh holes in the lid big enough to drain well but small enough to hold in tiny seeds such as alfalfa! Order more than one jar lid and rotate your crops every 3-4 days to make sure that you always have a steady supply of your favorite sprouts.

What is a sprouting container?

An alternative to glass jars is a specially designed piece of equipment called a sprouter. Usually made of plastic, these vessels are designed to hold sprouting seeds, allow water to flow through to other compartments holding seeds, and sprout a single container of seeds or several different varieties all at once.

What can I use instead of a sprouting jar?

Try radish, lentils, mustard, soy beans, beets, peas, broccoli, sunflower and wheat berries, to name just a few. The important thing here is that you purchase seeds that are specifically for sprouting; they will be labeled. These chemical-free seeds have been cleaned and are pathogen-free.
