For Urban Gardeners
For Urban Gardeners:
Sprouting is the easiest way to grow food at home. We have been selling the Biosta Sprouter (ZHG177B) for 30 years, and it has proven to be the best sprouter on the market. It can produce as many sprouts as the typical household can consume, and it is 100% safe and easy to use. We also have starter packs for sprouting that include a jar, lid, and 4 varieties of sprouting seeds. Check out our jar with BPA-free plastic lid with seeds and our jar with metal lid with seeds for easy sprout growing.
Timing
Timing
Sprouting seeds sprout quickly and are ready for harvest usually within a week from first rinsing them. Grow only as many as you can reasonably eat within a given freshness period. Try staggering your sowing to get a long, continuous harvest. Sprouts can be grown at any time of the year.
Starting
Starting
The quantity of seeds to use depends on the size of the seeds in question as well as the size of your sprouter. Usually one tablespoon is ample. You will give these seeds an initial rinse in clean water, to wash away any dust or debris. After that, we recommend that you rinse your sprouts 3 times daily. It may be helpful to place your sprouter some place very central, like on a kitchen island, so that you will see it in the morning, when you come home from school or work, and again in the evening. Every time you rinse, you allow the sprouts to drain so they are not sitting in a pool of water.
Soaking
Soaking
Many sprout enthusiasts like to give sprouting seeds an initial soak to start the process. The thinking is that soaking allows the seeds to imbibe water, which breaks the dormancy, “waking up” the seed and starting germination. We feel that if the seeds are given a thorough rinse in the beginning that soaking the seeds is not wholly necessary. Water will remain present on and between the seeds, and in the sprouter after the first rinse. However, much of the sprouting literature recommends 8 to 12 hours of soaking before the first rinse/drain cycle.
Growing
Growing
Rinsing 3 times per day will help keep the sprouts fresh and free from mould. Allowing the rinse water to drain away means that the seeds will be in contact with oxygen – an important consideration for all germinating seeds. You might try using the drained rinse water to water houseplants, as it will contain enzymes from the developing seeds. Larger seeds, like radish sprouts, will develop a root that may be covered in fine filamentous rootlets. Don’t confuse these fuzzy structures with mould.
Harvest
Harvest
Once the first pair of leaves (the cotyledon or seed leaves) have opened, the sprouts are ready. Many sprout growers like to expose sprouts at this stage to bright, indirect sunlight, which causes chlorophyll to develop. The leaves will turn a much darker green colour, which may enhance the nutrition of the sprouts.
When the sprouts reach this stage they are ready for eating. Wash them energetically under cold water to loosen and discard any seed husks. They can then be used fresh or kept in the refrigerator for three or four days. Our Care Bags will keep sprouts fresher for longer by allowing them to breathe in the refrigerator.
West Coast Seeds is a family-owned company that embraces an organic lifestyle. A group of imagination catalysts and passionate educators, dedicated to producing products and services that better the environment. As part of our mission to repair the earth, we aim to inspire and empower people to take responsibility for the state of the planet. For us, organic is about much more than saying no to chemicals, it is about saying yes to building a healthy soil for the future.
For over 35 years, we have upheld our strong reputation as a leading seed supplier, seeking out the highest quality untreated seeds for organic growing and putting them through rigorous independent testing. We built our company on the exchange of generational wisdom in a masterclass community of newbies and masters alike. Our world may have changed, but our commitment to our people, our customers, and our planet has not.
We’re a values-based business that has blossomed into a lifestyle ethos, with products that support seeders, feeders, keepers, and the tiniest of creepers. Our mission? To mobilize the next generation of gardeners with products that nourish soil and grow vigorous, sustainable gardens. We believe all plants should be grown without the use of chemicals, and that the seeds we supply are an important component of regenerative gardening.
We don’t just offer seeds, we offer experience, insight, and understanding. From timeless garden wisdom to new tech know-how, this is learning on the job: knowledge gleaned not from the pages of a book but from burying our fingers in the soil. We test, experiment, observe and adapt, never happier than when we get to share what we’ve learned with others.
Gardens don’t just grow seeds. They grow minds and imaginations, people and communities. Our vision encompasses both the micro and the macro. We eat locally, protect pollinators, teach people to grow from seed, and support regional biodiversity. We think big but act small and deliver unexpected impact — always with community and purpose.
At West Coast Seeds we believe in the power of small and that little can be large. Like the tiniest seed germinates to evoke incremental change with massive potential, so to can our community of gardeners and growers together. Gardeners are the earth’s stewards, planting seeds of creative declaration. The soil provides the canvas, we provide the seeds.
Sprouts can be grown in any climate. They mature in 3–5 days, and can be planted any time of the year. They don’t require soil or sunshine, but they contain nearly as much vitamin C as tomatoes. Plus they produce no waste. Spent sprouting water is full of nutrients and can even be used to feed houseplants.
