TERRA COTTA SPROUTERS
Imported from Germany.
The Sprout House now carries terra cotta sprouters imported from Germany for your sprouting needs.
PLEASE NOTE THESE DIMENSIONS:
The ME60 measures 6 inches high. The sprouting trays themselves measure about 5.5 inches in diameter.
It consists of five parts: a lid, three perforated sprouting dishes that stack neatly on top of one another, and a slightly larger bottom bowl which holds the three sprouting dishes. The sprouter is made of untreated clay
and the bottom bowl is glazed on the inside with lead-free glaze.
Conditions in the sprouter are very similar to natural conditions in the soil: the 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.
The darkness inside the terra cotta sprouter intensifies the flavor of the sprouts. In a
taste test held by the Study Group for Nutritional Research in Bad Liebenzell,
sprouts grown in clay sprouters were preferred without exception. 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.
The terra cotta sprouters may be shipped under separate cover from the rest of the order and may take a few extra
days.
