I bought this primarily for alfalfa sprouts. I eat half a tray daily and it's so much cheaper, fresher, and much better tasting to grow your own. I've already recommended this to several friends. I learned about it from my son who has them and enjoys fresh sprouts.

I have only tried it once with the alfalfa seeds it came with and some fenugreek seeds. Both seed trays had about 30% germination before the others seeds seemed to start decomposing. Maybe my trays did not drain well enough, maybe I had too much seed, or maybe it is too warm. I don’t know. I have had excellent results sprouting the same seeds on a wet paper towel inside a colander. I will try the sprouter again and change my review if it preforms as expected.

I have grown several different sprouts on this system, and it works fine. Years ago did it in a mason jar with cheese cloth tied around the top. This system looks nicer and is a good value, but really, the mason jar worked too.

Great yield compared to other sprouting tray systems I've owned. It lets water flow from top to bottom tray at a very slow speed, yet drains well providing a high percentage of successful new plant growth. The size is perfect for a family of 4. Overlapping trays keep moist thus preserving the newly born plants from drying. For those that want to know why sprouting instead of boiling, seed shells contain enzyme inhibitors that preserve the seed from spoiling. Once the shell is in constant contact with a source of water, these inhibitors dissolve and the beneficial enzymes jump to action in order to help the sprouting. Sprouted beans, seeds, and grains contain 10 times more nutrients and vitamins than their boiled counterpart. Temperatures above boiling point modify or destroy all together beneficial substances rendering your stew delicious but not nutritious. Ah, and by not emitting heat or burning stuff you contribute to reduce climate change. :-)Read full review

This is a great seed sprouter. I am new to sprouting and find this product easy to use and easy to clean. The directions which were included got me started with sprouting.
