This sprouter has 1 tier
The porous red clay keeps the sprouter damp, which helps the sprouts to grow.

Parts of this sprouter:
• 1 trays for sprouting
• 1 lid (you need lid to avoid humidity evaporation and provide darkness)
• 1 tray for water collecting (you can choose option without and use your own plate)

Sprouting tray has holes on button, so you can wash sprouts under tap water.
3 trays are easy to use, if you are fond of sprouting and want to sprout different sprouts in one time.
Conditions in the sprouter are very similar to the natural conditions in soil: pores in the clay sprouting dishes provide for good ventilation and the clay’s ability to absorb water assures uniform moisture without actually immersing the seeds in water.
Thus, it can absorb 10% of its weight in water.

The darkness inside the sprouter intensifies the flavor of the sprouts. If you prefer to eat watercress, alfalfa and other sprouts when they are green and rich in chlorophyll, simply open the lid and place the sprouter in the light a day or so before you plan to eat the sprouts.

Instruction for sprouting:
1. step
Soak seeds in any bowl of water for 12 hours! Sprouting begins only when the seeds have absorbed a significant amount of water. Dry seeds contain only 5 to 12% water, but after soaking for a just a few hours they hold 70% water.

2. step
Place sprouting dish in water for some minutes. This permits the porous clay of the bowl to absorb water, which later provides a good environment for sprouting. Place the washed seeds into it. Place the sprouting tray on dish and add some water on it. Put on the lid. And you’re done! The sprouts can be harvested as early as 3 to 4 days later.

If you use small seeds which may fall through or clog the perforations in the sprouting dish, place the seeds on a coffee filter - this is best material I have founded
! Wash seeds every day! It can be easy done through holes made in sprout dish. No need to remove seeds, just place it under tap water.
