ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for growing sprouts from seeds. The seeds are washed and placed in a tumbler where water and air are circulated while they are periodically tumbled. The incubated seeds are rinsed to remove hulls and ungerminated seeds and wrapped. Some seeds such as alfalfa seeds are placed in a dark room after rinsing where they are moisturized and aerated. Then they are moisturized and aerated under indirect natural light and/or grow lights until they begin to mature. They are next wrapped in a transparent cover while damp and are placed under growing lights and/or indirect natural light for final growth.
