VIDEO: Sprouting Broccoli and Friends in a Two-Tiered Seed Sprouter


This is a clean and easy way to sprout broccoli, alfalfa, radish, clover, or any small seeds. The two-tiered tray system allows you to put two different types of seeds in each level, and the vented top allows for good air circulation. I found it easier to rinse the seeds in this tray design than with mason jars, but its capacity is limited. It does look nicer on the counter than upside down mason jars or a colander covered with a towel. And it was so easy to use; no muss no fuss.

  1. I wanted this, and have ordered it twice. Both times they were broken. Whoever is packing the boxes only put padding on one side of the box. I am so upset. I have to drive 30 minutes to a UPS store to return them. So frustrating.

  2. You always do a very nice job explaining things. The one thing I'm wondering about….when I was researching seeds to order recently, I saw some reviews about Todd's…..it caused me not to order from that company. Nothing says they are organic. Organic is recommended for sprouting because if they aren't, there's a possibility of pesticides being used. Also, a reviewer said they found out Todd's were from China. I really don't know for sure…I'm just saying what I read. But I wanted organic & grown in the USA. I'm grateful to you for this demo. I looked at sprouting means….I've always used Mason jars & wondered about other methods. After watching this demo, I'm convinced the jars are much simpler……I know you use jars, too, so you know how easy it is to just dump water out of the jars instead of lifting trays off a bottom tray & then gingerly getting the full tray of water over to the sink w/out spilling it……& knowing me, I'd spill it ! ha ha Also, after the trays have been lifted up so the bottom tray can be emptied, the seed trays are dripping. I'll just keep using the jars. No dripping mess. I got plastic sprouting lids like you use & love them. Another advantage to the jars that's obvious to me is, everything can be done in the jars, including soaking.

  3. Wow! SO helpful!
    I have a similar stacking sprouter but never really knew the best way to use it. I like yours too and may have to get one. ☺ You have such great tips!

  4. I have a round system like this (also bought on Amazon years ago). Sometimes I use a coffee filter under the seeds to keep the really tiny ones from falling through, but I usually want to cut the roots off anyway.

    Thank you for your videos!

  5. don't "throw out" the drain water–its full of nutrients, water your houseplants with it. Same goes with the rinse water–USE it, do not send it down the drain, which is wasting an expensive natural resource. seed coats will come off but they are edible too. Use the back of a spoon to spread out the seeds, don't leave them in a clump. Be sure to ALWAYS wash hands before tending your raw sprouts, and kids should wear nitrile gloves–you know where their hands have been!
    The roots will have tiny hairs on them and look fuzzy–that is not mold, but an essential part of a normal root. All root tips have hairs.

  6. Thank you for the great video. Question, do I have to cover the sprouter with a towel to keep the light out? My kitchen doesn’t have a lot of natural light. Thank you so much

  7. Very helpful , thank you very much , me and my mom were looking to start this process after getting this gifted in the mail,

  8. Hello, I'm sprouting alfalfa and rainbow radish sprouts in a single tray sprouter i purchased on Amazon.

    Do I have to keep the lid on everyday while they grow?

    Should I keep the tray on the kitchen counter away from direct light because I've heard some people keep it in a dark place?

    Thank you!

  9. Useless just get plants in rich soil and fill that soil in to your stomach only thing u do is enrich the tiny amount of nutrition that's left in the seed pot for that to get bigger u waste! Hydrodynamic well… better just eat from your local super market i guess or just do normal gardening! A hype of BS!
