Sprouting Jar by
NOW Foods
Place two tablespoons of seeds or 1/2 cup of legumes/grains in a sprouting jar with three times as much water as sees. Soak overnight. For many small seeds, five hours of soaking is sufficient.
Drain the water from the jar. Rinse seeds in fresh, luke-warm water and drain again. For well drained seeds/sprouts, lay jar at an angle in a warm (70°F), dark place.
Rinse and drain seeds twice a day. In hot and dry weather, you may need to rinse the seeds three times a day. In very humid weather, the seeds should be kept in a dry place. Turn jar over gently. Overturning the jar rapidly will cause shifting in the sprouting seeds. This can break the tender shoots and kill the sprout. This breakage causes the sprout to spoil. Sprouts should be ready to eat in 3-5 days, depending on the seed used.

I've used this same jar for years. It's the only one sold at my health food store, so they may be the only company thoughtful enough to still make one, even though sprouts aren't trendy at the moment. The screen is sturdy rust-free stainless steel. They sell replacement lids. The jar comes with easy directions for different kinds of sprouts. I buy NOW Foods sprouting seeds exclusively because they're very high quality. Even the retail price for this jar is awesome, and growing your own ensures fresh sprouts and saves a fortune.
