For those of us who eat sprouts, we always have on hand the freshest, most valuable and cheapest
vegetable available. In principle, sprouting seeds is quite a simple process, which requires little more than love, care and
hygiene.
Turn your kitchen into a greenhouse! Discover how much fun it is to cultivate your own fresh and crunchy shoots and sprouts using an Original
bioSnacky Germinator and don't forget to purchase your Seeds from
our extensive range of organically controlled crops (see our
store - the sprouting seed range is shown at the foot of this listing). Sprouts and shoots are the perfect accompaniment to a well-balanced diet at any time of the year and are a great source of vitamins and minerals.
Fresh organic vegetables every day from a couple of square feet of counter space.
Sprouts are a powerhouse of nutrition. They have been grown by many civilizations over the past 5,000 years.
Sprouts have outstanding nutritional value. They are rich in protein as well as vitamin A, the vitamin B complex, vitamin C and vitamin E, as well as various minerals and enzymes.
The LARGE
DOME SEED GERMINATOR sprouter by bioSnacky makes
sprouting so simple.
Correct use of our top-quality Seeds will ensure optimum cultivation results in all
bioSnacky germinators and glass germinators. (See our store for the
complete range - pictures below.)
- The top layer of this Germinator is suitable for growing taller sprouts as the lid is domed.
- This newest bioSnacky Germinator does not have drainage plugs and is easily watered through a hole in the middle of the lid.
- The drainage holes in the trays are larger in this model so, to prevent small seeds being washed away, approx. 25
filter papers are provided to line the
appropriate trays, along with an instruction booklet. (We stock filter
papers as a separate item in our store when you need to replenish them.)

The variety of sprouts you grow in the bioSnacky Sprouter Garden can be
used in such versatile ways -- on bread, tossed in salads, stir-fried gently in olive oil when preparing
tasty cooked dishes, pancake fillings, omelettes or rissoles; add to soups, dips,
muesli or simply stir into all kinds of pasta, rice, vegetables, fish and
meat dishes. All cooked food is deficient in enzymes, so toss in some raw
sprouts if you must cook! Why not try one of our
tasty recipes.
Instructions for Use
Best results are obtained when you place the larger seeds like Mung
beans in the bottom tray, whilst the smaller seeds are best put into the top
tray --- unless you are wishing to grow wheatgrass, in which case that is
placed in the top tray. When sowing very small seeds, place a piece of damp
filter paper in
the seed trays. Distribute the seeds according to the guidelines for
amounts given in the seed growing chart. An instruction booklet is
provided with the Sprouter.
Filter paper is not needed if using larger seeds. You can either
germinate seedlings in just one seed tray, or else in several seed trays
simultaneously. In order to be able to harvest a fresh crop of
shoots everyday, we recommend staggered sowing of seeds.
Here at Nature's Wonderland, we stock a huge variety of organic sprouting
seeds.
Our seeds are the old traditional open pollinated varieties and have no chemical treatment, and no genetic engineering.
Preferably old Australian varieties and organically or bio-dynamically grown where possible.

Herbamare
and Herbamare Spicy
These two herb salts are made
to Alfred Vogel's original formula and are prepared from organically grown
ingredients, which are processed immediately after harvesting,
Organic celery, leek,
cress, onions, chives, parsley, lovage, basil, marjoram, rosemary, thyme
and kelp are combined with natural sea salt and allowed to steep for many weeks
before the moisture is removed at low temperature by a special vacuum process.
This allows all the qualities, aroma and taste of the herbs to be absorbed.
Herbamare and Herbamare Spicy can be used as a direct replacement for salt - during cooking or at any time you want the taste and aroma of fresh herbs in your food.

Grow Your Own Salad Sprouts
Sprouting is
becoming more and more popular. It is great fun and very straightforward.
To help you take that first step, here are some general rules - suitable
for use in any of the bioSnacky Sprouters available from our store.
|
1.
Wash seeds thoroughly in a sieve before sprouting.
|
|
2.
Place seeds in the sprouter: approx. two teaspoonfuls of small
seeds, one heaped tablespoon of larger seeds.
|
|
3.
If growing in the small jar, cover the seeds with water and soak
for one night then rinse and drain twice a day until ready. If
using a three tier germinator there is no need to soak. Simply
place seeds on each tray, cover the top tier of seeds with water
and let it drain to the bottom. Repeat twice a day.
|
When using the smaller three tier germinator, it is
important to make sure that the drain plugs are pressed down firmly, and
that each drainage hole is clear of any seeds, as otherwise the water may
not drain through. Also, when watering, bring the level up to above that
of the plug. An air lock in the drainage hole can sometimes form and is
easily cleared. Gently tip the tray up until the water starts to run
through and then replace it carefully. Ensure that the seeds are given
water twice a day and avoid extremes of temperature as these will affect
growth. The run-off can be used to water your house plants.
Many seeds develop tiny hair roots after the second or third day. These
are part of the normal development and will slowly disappear.
Avoid growing too many seeds at once. Only use seeds produced for
sprouting, such as the range we carry in our store. Old seeds, seeds from
unknown sources or chemically treated seeds may not sprout. Location of
your sprouter is also important. The airing cupboard is too dark (and too
easy to forget) but a sunny windowsill can fry the seeds, so a light, airy
bench is best.
It is essential to clean the equipment thoroughly between batches. Washing
is usually adequate, but germinator trays or bottles can be soaked in
vinegar and then thoroughly rinsed before use.
Follow these simple guidelines and watch your nutritious sprouts keep on
growing.
Happy Sprouting!

In the worship of Demeter, goddess of the corn, the ancient
Greeks beheld the mysteries of life itself in the simplicity of the single
grain of wheat. They understood the incredible potential of the tiny seed. In
it lies the power to sustain, nourish and satisfy. In the germination and
sprouting process is contained the vital energies which transform the seed into
a tall strong plant which can ultimately reproduce itself many times over.
So what are sprouts? A sprout is basically just the
‘in-between’ stage of a seed becoming a plant. If you stop to think about
it, a sprout possesses all the energy, goodness and power that enables it to be
transformed from a small seed to a big strong plant. It contains all the
nutrients for the baby plant to grow for the first few days before it can feed
itself. It is no wonder then that this is the best possible stage of the plant
for us to consume, as the nutritional value is at its highest.
Sprouts do not contain chemicals or additives
as they are eaten in their true natural form, providing us with a direct link
to nature. This is something that Alfred Vogel regularly recommended. You
don’t even have to cook them. In fact, the best nutritional benefit comes
from raw sprouts – a healthy and nutritious convenience food for once! The
good news is that this great little power food is quick and simple to grow at
home – you don’t even need a garden! The only ingredients required are the
seeds you sprout, water and air – transforming the tiniest corner of your
kitchen into a mini-garden.
Sprouts are
highly nutritious. They give salads a crunchy feel, add colour to stir-fries
and make excellent snacks at any time of day. They are also brimming with
vitamins, minerals and enzymes – adding new heights to our vital force.
Being
made up of 70% water we need to replenish our systems with water rich foods –
organic fresh fruits, vegetables and sprouted seeds and grains in order to
cleanse our blood and lymph. Sprouting seeds and pulses is something all the
family can enjoy – children love to see their rapid growth. Try the
Nature's Wonderland seeds, ranging from radish and alfalfa to mung beams.
Today, sprouts are making a bit of a comeback with nutritionists speaking very
highly of these little ‘power pellets’. But do you know just how
good they are for you? Here are a few facts to get you started:
• Weight for weight, sprouted seeds contain more nutrients than any other
natural food known to man – enough to rival even the best supplement pills
available.
• Due to the fact that they are basically ‘baby plants’, they
contain high concentrations of valuable enzymes, proteins, mineral substances,
trace elements and natural vitamins.
• Sprouts also contain excellent fibre that is beneficial to the intestines
and regulates the digestive process.
• Since they grow right up until the moment they’re picked, practically no
nutrients are lost.
Eating sprouts may be a new concept to you, but the benefits speak for
themselves.
Once you’ve tried your first sprout, I’m sure you’ll agree that they
taste delicious. Here are a few serving tips so that you can make the most out
of them: salads, stir-fries, soups, dips, vegetable stews, detoxify; sprouts
are particularly beneficial for those on a detoxify diet
There is a sprout variety to suit every taste; from nutty to spicy, delicate to
hot – why not try them all.
But why bother growing your own?
They keep growing right up until the moment they’re picked, so you can’t
get fresher!
Sprouts are instantly available when they are at their nutritional best.
It is an inexpensive source of fresh produce, especially throughout the winter
months.
You can have a constant supply of sprouts by timing batches so that one is
ready to eat while the other is just starting to germinate.
It couldn’t be more simple: just rinse, soak, rinse, soak and watch them
develop. You’ll have a mini organic garden in the corner of your kitchen in
no time. They’re always on the grow!
Serves 4
This extremely colourful salad is abundant with energy. Sprouted seeds give us
invaluable amounts of vitamins, minerals and enzymes – they add new heights
to our vital force. Be sure to use organic seeds and you will feel the goodness
as you crunch them. Children really enjoy them – they sprout so quickly that
each day there is something new to try. Peppers give us good sources of Vitamin
C, beta carotene and potassium.
½ cup sprouted fenugreek seeds
½ cup sprouted chickpeas
½ cup sprouted alfalfa
½ cup sprouted green lentils
½ cup sprouted mung beans
½ cup sunflower seeds
½ red pepper
½ yellow pepper
½ orange pepper
½ green pepper
1 handful pine kernels
Slice all the peppers thinly and place them with all the sprouts in a large
bowl and toss them in your hands. Add a dressing if desired (the tastes are
wonderful on their own) and sprinkle the pine kernels on the top.
Eat this salad as soon as you have made it to obtain the total benefit from its
freshness.
  
Sprouting easily satisfies the demands of 21st century sustainability –
it’s cheap, it’s fast, it doesn’t take up much space and, hey, it’s
even FUN – on top of being so completely good for you! Here are some tips to
get you started.
Overnight: soak almonds, hazels, cashews, sunflower seeds, etc. This is
enough to improve digestibility and flavour; add them to salads or to cooked
rice.
24hrs: keep the water from your first soaking of wheat grain. This now
contains enzymes which can be used in place of an acidophilus supplement to
help create healthy intestinal flora. Using two cups of grain to one litre of
water, the liquid, known as rejuvelac, can be sipped as needed throughout the
day.
3-5 days: following a simple soaking and rinsing system, alfalfa seeds,
lentils and beans will produce succulent shoots, providing a little salad patch
in the tiniest corner of your own kitchen. In a jar with a muslin or mesh
cover, simply soak a handful overnight, drain off the water (which you can pour
on your plants) and leave to sprout. After another 12 hours rinse and drain the
seeds. Repeat this until the sprouts start to form little green leaves –
there’s your chlorophyll.
There are plenty of books available providing more technical details and
there is an ever-increasing array of sprouting equipment to improve your yield.
Amongst their range, bioSnacky produce a small jar with a screw-on mesh
lid and integral stand, so that you can easily drain off water. There is also a
3-tiered set of trays which allows you to sprout several varieties of seed
without any extra effort. See the range shown above and visit our store for the
full details on each model.
