I have tried sprouting lentils and mung beans in a plastic tupperware colander and then inserting it in a plastic bag for a miniature greenhouse effect. Where did you get your sprouter tray?

Once I ran out of lettuce and just had sprouts of all kinds. We didn't even miss the lettuce for our salad that night. Sprouts for me are good in salads, pitas or wraps, and stir-fry. I forgot to start my sprouts. I'll go do that now. I also have the jars and use them once in a while. :) I have used sprouts mostly in salads.

I Just thought you might be :lol: I use them in salads and sandwiches. I sprout mung beans to use in stir fry. I have heard of people juicing them to use as a green drink. I used to be on a Christian Self Reliant List where I learned how to grow them in new panty hose, but I never tried it. Some of those folks used sprouts in casseroles, breads and soups too, again I enver tried it I like them raw rather than the idea of them being cooked. Oh, I’m not creative with them either.

I think maybe next month I'll buy another so I can have two crops going. I'm intrigued by the thought of sprouting wheat! Thanks for the idea. Sylvia, I have the jar and screen, too (but mine isn't 25 years old ;) ). It didn't make enough for us, although I liked it just fine. I don't think I'm that creative with sprouts... we just use them on salads and sandwiches. How do you use yours? Michelle, I only have the one tray too.

How do you like it?" Yes, but I only have one tray and I think I lost the little divider. Not happy about that. I have only used a mix of seeds or the bigger like mung beans in it. Haven't tried just Alfalfa seeds (my fav). I like it a lot. I like that I don't have to invert it to drain the seeds and more seeds seem to sprout in it than in jars. I think that is due to the seeds being spread out and not on top of each other. :) I sprouted wheat in there last month and that was yummy. I think I'll go sprout something now.

Most of them stay in. We love sprouts, too. I should have been more specific in my post about how many seeds to use in the tray. They recommend 1/4 cup, but I think 1/8 cup works better.
