“For years everyone was asking me how to start and I had a constant pit in my stomach because none of the tools being used for sprouting were designed specifically for sprouting.”

Before there was a purpose-built sprouter, Doug relied on mason jars, mesh screens, bamboo racks, and countless DIY setups to keep his daily sprouting practice alive.

He experienced the same frustrations as everyone else—mold, poor drainage, broken jars, and inconsistent results. Those years of experimentation made one thing clear: sprouting deserved a better solution.

Hi, I'm Doug.

Thirty years ago I started sprouting and never stopped. I wrote The Sprout Book because I believed anyone could do this, then built the sprouter because the tools kept failing people who tried.

FAQs

FAQs

  • A sprout is a seed that has woken up. Give a dry seed water and a few days, and it starts building a plant: growing a root, unfurling a stem, and synthesizing nutrients it never had while it was dormant.

    You eat the whole thing, seed and stem and all, usually three to five days in. No soil, no sunlight, no garden. Just seeds, water, and about a minute of your attention twice a day. Welcome to one of the most nutrient-dense foods on Earth!

  • None of the three. Sprouting happens indoors, in water, on a countertop, and sunlight is not part of it.

    If you can rinse a colander, you can do this. That is the whole skill.

  • About a minute, twice a day. You rinse, you drain, you walk away.

    Most people fold it into things they already do. Rinse when the coffee is brewing, rinse again after dinner.

  • Legumes like lentils and green peas are ready in about three days. Leafy sprouts like broccoli, salad mix, alfalfa and clover take five to six.

    Either way you are eating food you grew inside of a week, which is the part most people do not believe until they do it.

  • If you are here for the nutrition, start with High-Sulforaphane Broccoli. It is our most researched seed and the reason most people find us.

    If you want something that goes on everything and pleases everyone at the table, start with High-Sulforaphane Salad Mix. Broccoli, radish, mung beans and green lentils in one harvest, so you get variety in texture and flavor without running two batches.

    If you want protein, start with Lentils or Green Peas. They are also the fastest, which makes them a satisfying first win.

  • Sprouts grow in water, take three to five days, and you eat the entire plant including the root and seed. Microgreens grow in soil or a growing medium, need light, take seven to fourteen days, and you cut off the top and leave the roots behind.

    Sprouts are faster, need less equipment, and give you more food per square inch of counter. That is why we build around them.

  • More people do than you would expect, and the reason is that the feedback loop is fast. You see visible change every single day, and you are eating the result inside a week. Most healthy habits ask you to wait months for a payoff you cannot see.

    The system is built for the sticking part too. The sprouter sits on your counter where you cannot forget it, and the daily job is small enough that skipping it never feels worth it.
