Chef’n Bean Sprouter Vented Germinator Jar
Product number: 73370
If you’re a fan of nutrition-packed bean sprouts in your smoothies or stir fries, you’ll be thrilled to know that with a Chef’n Bean Sprouter they’re easier to grow at home than ever before – with no need for jam jars and scraps of muslin secured with elastic bands.
Sprouter has a compact footprint so it’s no bother to find space for it in your home, and most varieties of beans will be ready to eat in just five days.
Working like a miniature greenhouse, this simple-looking glass jar contains a special air vent through the centre that ensures every sprouting shoot gets enough air to help it grow cleanly, creating the ideal growing environment for shoots to thrive, and minimising the risk of mould growth. It comes with its own stand so you can rest it whichever way up suits you, and with the all-in-one growing system it’s super-easy to get the seeds started and rinse them regularly as they sprout.
How it works
Just add the seeds to the jar and fill with water to soak them for 2-12 hours (depending on the seed variety).
Flip it upside down to drain the water and then rinse the sprouting seeds twice daily until they’ve reached the perfect size for eating. Chef’n have designed the jar and the mesh lid for easy splash-free emptying and rinsing.
The adjustable screen can be easily removed if you need to tip away any seed husks after a rinsing session.
Please note: Chef’n advise keeping the Sprouter away from direct sunlight – after all, sprouting seeds would normally be underground well away from the light.
Made from glass, stainless steel and polypropylene, it’s naturally BPA free.
