I've been waiting all morning to tell you my new sprouter is crap. You know, the one I got at the thrift store?

Sprouts, in my experience, have to be rinsed vigorously to maintain freshness. This just trickled water on them and they rotted.

I've gone back to my original sprouter. They're just caps that fit on top of my regular wide-mouth canning jars. Very simple, very effective. And the jars fit on my windowsill and the sprouts look pretty...like a little garden growing in my window!

I use a big bowl and a iced tea jar to do sprouts. I was tempted to buy an automatic sprouter but I saved the money instead.

We used to use regular canning jars back when Mom did sprouts.

I've seen sprouting jars at the natural food store that are basically just an oversized canning jar set-up. Hey, if it works, it works! I love sprouts, but haven't attempted them ever. Just seems high maintenance. Wish they were cheaper to buy as sprouts, but they're usually expensive.

But they sure are tasty. All kinds...
