Sprout Huggers do NOT come with seeds.Cultivating and growing seeds is an art, a skill, and a science. We recommend that seeds be bought from organic farming sources. We also wanted to leave the choice to you for what you decide to sprout. There are many seeds available here on Amazon. Sprout Huggers have a patented design that allow them to fit on standard jars. We reduced the carbon footprint (and the cost) by not including a jar. You can use Sprout Huggers with the jars you have at home.

What are the benefits of eating sprouts?
Sprouting offers several benefits, both in terms of nutrition and practicality. Here are some key benefits of sprouting:
- Enhanced Nutritional Content: Sprouting seeds, grains, and legumes increases their nutrient content. Sprouts are rich in vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and antioxidants. The sprouting process activates enzymes that enhance nutrient availability, making sprouts a concentrated source of beneficial nutrients.
- Increased Digestibility: Sprouting breaks down complex carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, making them easier to digest and absorb. It also reduces anti-nutrients like phytic acid, which can interfere with mineral absorption. This improved digestibility makes sprouts gentler on the digestive system.
- Concentrated Enzymes: Sprouts are abundant in live enzymes that aid in digestion and other bodily processes. Enzymes help break down food, making nutrients more accessible and supporting overall digestion and nutrient absorption.
- Alkalizing Properties: Many sprouts have an alkalizing effect on the body. They can help balance pH levels and counteract the acidity caused by certain foods, promoting a more alkaline and balanced internal environment.
- Antioxidant Power: Sprouts are packed with antioxidants that help protect the body against damage from free radicals. Antioxidants can support overall health and reduce the risk of chronic diseases.
- Versatile and Convenient: Sprouts are versatile additions to a variety of dishes, including salads, sandwiches, wraps, stir-fries, and smoothies. They add a fresh crunch and boost the nutritional value of meals. Growing sprouts at home is also a convenient way to have a constant supply of fresh greens within reach.
- Cost-Effective: Sprouting seeds and legumes at home is an economical way to add nutrient-rich food to your diet. The initial investment in sprouting supplies is minimal, and the sprouting process allows you to yield a large quantity of sprouts from a small amount of seeds.
- Sustainability: Sprouting seeds at home reduces the need for transporting and packaging pre-sprouted greens, thus decreasing carbon emissions and waste associated with commercial distribution. It's a sustainable way to enjoy fresh, locally grown greens year-round.
Why is regular rinsing so important?
Regular rinsing of sprouting seeds is crucial for maintaining proper moisture levels, promoting oxygenation, preventing dryness or waterlogging, removing waste, and reducing the risk of mold or bacterial growth. It is an essential step in the sprouting process to ensure successful and healthy sprouts.

Does the Sprout Hugger work for all seeds and beans?
The holes in the drainage cap are suited for medium to large sized seeds and beans. Broccoli seeds (for example) are so small that they can pass thru the holes and we suggest combining the Sprout Hugger with a pieces of cheesecloth if you are using extremely small sized seeds.
