Features of the EasyGreen sprouter
The EasyGreen sprouting appliance was developed out of the growing demand for organic health food. The EasyGreen’s unique technology empowers the individual to maintain a high potency immune system, by providing natural vitamins, mineral and enzymes that no other food or artificial supplements can rival. Here are few reasons for our unique sprouting technology:
Seeds generate chemical heat during germination and need to be cooled to avoid mold and rotting. The EasyGreen uses a patented technology where mist and oxygen are applied simultaneously to the seeds, thus both cooling the seed’s water and air and oxygenating the seeds and water. Sprouts require little water but abundant amounts of oxygen. Other automated sprouters and conventional sprouting methods supply plenty of water yet only provide natural air displacement.
Inhibitors in seeds are the natural defense mechanism of seeds acting as a deterrent for germs and bugs. Some sprouters re-circulate the same water! Your sprouts are then irrigated with water containing toxins and inhibitors, defeating the concept of using clean, good water for your sprouts. Bearing in mind that sprouts are made of 80% water, using clean water makes sense. The EasyGreen drains all used water out of the machine.
Sprouts are sensitive to environmental conditions and climate changes. For example, in warm, humid areas such as Florida, Hawaii, Brazil, it’s virtually impossible to sprout with conventional methods. The EasyGreen works in all these areas year around! To the full satisfaction of our customers.
Managing and controlling the humidity within the machine is critical to the sturdiness of the sprouts. The EasyGreen uses a unique 96-activations timer, allowing the grower to fine-tune the machine to his or her specific environmental conditions.
Unlike the EasyGreen, other automatic sprouters do not have a built-in water reservoir and cannot select the source of water to use. The EasyGreen’s built-in water reservoir is compatible with either dematerialized water, distilled or R.O. according to your specific needs.
The water reservoir allows adding minerals that enhances growth, such as liquid kelp or hydroponic growing solutions. No known conventional or automatic system allows the same flexibility.
The built-in water reservoir allows the grower to add solutions that assist in disinfecting the crops, such as hydrogen peroxide.
The EasyGreen unit uses about ½ gallon of water in 24 hours due to its fine misting activity. Sprouters that use an automatic irrigation system need to be plumbed and use 3.5 to 5 gallons of water a day!
Seeds germinated in conventional sprouting methods such as jars, bags, trays etc. need to be MANUALLY rinsed 3 to 6 times a day. The EasyGreen rinses automatically as many times as needed a day during the complete growing cycle.
Conventional sprouters require a pre-soaking operation of 8 hours up to 24hrs, before commencing the propagation of the seed. The EasyGreen requires NO presoaking. Seeds are placed in the tray or cartridge DRY and the machine takes over, soaking, rinsing, misting, oxygenating and draining automatically. Thus saving you an extra day of pre-soaking and the manual handling of the repeat daily rinsing.
The misting and oxygenating automatic cycles assures quickest harvest. 15% to 40% quicker then any sprouting method.
Unlike other automatic sprouters, the EasyGreen uses a mist generator. No sprinkles or foggers that will clog and may stop irrigating without the grower being aware.
Some growers prefer to use soil for some crops such as wheatgrass or sunflower greens. Other sprouting methods are soil or soil-less (Hydroponic). The EasyGreen may use both concepts! With no damage to the machine or crops.
The EasyGreen sprouter uses FOOD GRADE QUALITY Trays and cartridges in accordance with DFA regulations. Most other sprouters uses storage containers and trays!
D.I.Y. sprouters require purchasing parts at hardware stores, not to mention the hassle of putting them together, which means there can be no manufacturer’s warranty on the complete system! The EasyGreen revolutionary system, now sold in 32 countries around the world, carries a full manufacturer’s warranty. We are so confident in our technology that you may purchase an extended manufacturers warranty for up to 10 years!
Frequently Asked Questions:

What comes with the Easy Green Sprouter? (1) EasyGreen MikroFarm, (1) Mist Generator & Filter, (1) 96 Activation Timer, (5) Food Grade Quality Plastic Cartridges, (1) Drainage Tube, (1) Owner's Manual. (The Large Wheagrass Trays do not come with the Easygreen Sprouter, they are an additional accessory; see below).
Does the Easy Green Sprouter come with a 'recipe' book or instruction manual? An instruction manual comes with the Easy Green Sprouter (very detailed with information).
How are the sprouts 'oxygenated' during the process of growing? The mist generator is designed in a manner as to mist the seeds. It also creates fresh air displacement. The air is introduced from outside the machine thru a filter and circulated in the growing compartment, thus increasing the oxygen in contact with the seeds. Contrary to common believe, maximum oxygen with minimum water is what the seeds requires to sprout; minimizing the risk of mold and rotting. This simple and efficient technology is unique and is part of our granted patents for the EasyGreen MikroFarm.
What indoor temperature is optimal for sprouting? 70 degrees to 90 degrees.
Crop management
Sprouts taken out of conventional systems needs to be placed in a secondary pan such as a Tupperware for refrigeration. Our cartridges with unused sprouts can be placed directly into refrigeration for later use.
Some sprouting systems have a round shape. The EasyGreen uses rectangular cartridges and trays, allowing refrigeration of unused portions of a tray or cartridge using minimal space.
Other systems don’t use trays and the sprouts are germinated in the actual growing compartment without an intermediate container, thus needing to be removed into another tool for refrigeration. Our EasyGreen uses removable cartridges and trays for the ultimate convenience.
The EasyGreen has an automatic disinfecting cycle. It is easy to keep high sanitary conditions within the machine. Only large commercial systems have a similar function!
According to Dr. Ann Wigmore, a 5-day growing cycle for seeds such as alfalfa, broccoli, radish, clover and the similar is ideal. The EasyGreen system is the only one in the market using 5x cartridges, allowing a rotation system, indicating which cartridge is ready for harvest. No need to write dates on each jar or bag!
According to Dr. William S. Peavy, author of ‘Super Natural Gardening’ sprouts needs to be consumed on the 5th or 6th day of germination, thereafter the young sprouts use their abundant amounts of minerals and vitamins for their own growing process. It is important to consume sprouts fresh and around the 5th day of germination. No other sprouter can supply an automatic indication of which cartridge is now on its 5th day.
The Mist Generator the heart of the machine, uses 120v/60Hz and is rated at only .55Amp, using a negligible amount of electricity.
Modularity- the EasyGreen in the only system in the world that can stack up 5 or 6 EasyGreen machines. You may start with one machine and expand as your needs change. There is no need to dispose of an old system to purchase a larger sprouter. Thus, adhering to the needs of an individual as well as a large family.
Easygreen has obtained patents and intellectual property rights on the uniqueness of their germination technology, supporting their statement "The best Automatic Sprouter in the world" and .... the Cadillac of sprouting!
If you are serious about consuming organic, healthy, clean food daily with minimal work and maximum results - there is only one sprouter- The EasyGreen Automatic Sprouter.
Customer Alert:Please note that EasyGreen has discontinued including a printed owner's manual packaged with the EasyGreen Sprouter and the only instruction manual for the EasyGreen MikroFarm Automatic Sprouter is downloadable in PDF Format.
Wondering what kind of sprouting seeds to use with your sprouter? The healthiest sprouts one can consume are Broccoli Sprouts, not one of the healthiest, but the healthiest. Broccoli sprouts, which taste remarkably like alfalfa sprouts and conversely do not taste like broccoli, contain the highest amount of vitamins, minerals, proteins and enzymes, which are easily assimilated and digested. But what sets broccoli sprouts apart from other sprouting seeds, broccoli sprouts contain advanced anticancer compounds called sulforaphane glucosinolate which trigger the body's natural cancer-fighting resources and reduces risk of developing cancer. Research has found this compound can help protect against cancer and can also help fight cancerous cells. Broccoli sprouts are potently packed with protein and glucosinolates. Glucosinolates are found in all cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli and cabbage but one would have to eat copious amounts of whole heads of broccoli and cabbage just to reap the same benefits as eating just a few tablespoons of broccoli sprouts. The broccoli sprout is that mighty!
RAW FOOD HEALTH FOR EVERYONE. IF YOU WANT TO BE SURE YOUR FOOD IS SAFE, GROW IT YOURSELF
It’s hard to recall a worse year for food recalls than 2007-8. Everything from Pizza to Spinach, Tomato, from Soy Milk to Salad Dressing, from Tortillas to Tofu got pulled off the shelves and splashed across the news because they contained a little more than we bargained for. E-Coli contamination for one and other harmful chemicals It’s enough to ruin your BBQ when a million pounds of chopped meat needs to be sent packing because it packs a bacterial wallop that can lead to potential food poisoning. Yes, 2007 was the year that taught us to keep our eyes wide open every time we buy anything.
The question is what can we do short of selling the house and buying a farm? A good answer is to grow what you can yourself and head for your local farmers market to buy the rest. There’s one in almost every town. Not only do they have all the elements of a positive food chain, local, fresh, slow, and safe, they also keep small, non-industrial farms alive and growing. For those of you who can’t get to one as often as you’d like, there’s a way to bring the farmers market to you. It’s called the EasyGreen MikroFarm and it lets you grow a delicious variety of fresh healthy baby vegetables right on your kitchen counter top to bring raw food health to everyone in your family. Sprouts are an integral part of the raw food health revolution that’s sweeping the planet.
If sprouts make you think of VW buses, Granny Glasses and Birkenstocks you’re in for a delicious surprise. Sprouts are really baby vegetable and micro greens in their first stages of growth. They’re a great source of raw food health because they’re packed with vitamins and minerals in an easy to digest and easy to absorb form. According to Sol Azulay, creator of the EasyGreen MikroFarm (easygreen.com) an ingenious and fun to use sprouting system, "The best reasons to grow your own sprouts isn’t just the many health benefits, it’s also the taste. Nothing could be fresher, more vibrant or better tasting that tossing a handful of freshly harvested sprouts into your salad. Sprouts are one of the best, easiest, healthiest and tastiest sources of raw food" The EasyGreen MikroFarm is like having a farmers market taking place every day on your counter top. Imagine a source of healthy, delicious, nutritious and safe raw food growing right there, under your watchful eye. No fear of E-Coli, no fear of constant recalls that seem to be an everyday part of our food supply. You can’t get fresher, you can’t get more local. You can’t get more organic or safer than growing you own right in your own kitchen. And it doesn’t get any easier than the MikroFarm. It’s an attractive, automatic, space saving little device, just 18" by 24" that lets you grow a wide variety of tasty baby veggies that go from seed to sprout in just a few days. Warm humid climates like Florida can make sprouting more difficult, but the Easy Green MikroFarm is designed to produce results no matter where you live, or what the average temperature or humidity is.
Because the EasyGreen MikroFarm does everything automatically, there’s no need to continuously rinse or soak the seeds and you’ll have your sprouts to enjoy faster than with conventional systems. You can even choose to grow some varieties, like wheatgrass or sunflower seed sprouts in soil, not just water and the EasyGreen Mikro Farm food grade trays and cartridges can go right from the sprouter to the refrigerator for easier storage. And while other sprouters use recycled water which can become contaminated and full of seed released toxins, the MikroFarm is the only one that drains used water and uses continuous fresh water for sprouting.
Sprouts really are living vitamin and mineral factories and because they’re a predigested raw food they have a higher biological efficiency than whole seeds. According to Sol Azulay, "Raw food, especially sprouts have been shown to help overcome protein deficiency anemia and have a regenerating effect on the human body because of their high concentration of RNA, DNA, protein and essential nutrients that are found only in living cells. No artificial or manufactured supplement can equal the effects of living raw foods on our body or our health."
Nutritionists worldwide often call sprouts the perfect food. They are rich in nutrients. They contain more anti-carcinogenic properties than most other foods and are thought to contain one of the most potent cancer fighting properties known. They provide 5 times the amount of Vitamin C and B-Complex vitamin and proteins than a lettuce salad. Sprouts have as much protein as meat and eggs and as much vitamin C as orange juice and as much vitamin A as carrots. So they’re a must especially for vegans or vegetarians who want to be sure their diet is balanced. (Source: Indian Parenting .com) You can also dehydrate sprouted beans and grains and use them to make bread and as a base for pasta and even pizza. So you’re not only insuring the safety and quality of your food but extracting the full economic benefits of growing your own.
According to scientists at John Hopkins University "You’d have to eat a full helping of vegetables to get the health benefits of a spoonful of broccoli sprouts and the sprouts had the same cancer fighting chemical, Sulforaphane, at concentrations 20 - 50 times higher." (Source: Time Magazine 9/29/97)
In this age of questionable products and questionable sources there’s nothing as reassuring as knowing exactly where your food is coming from and how it’s grown. With technology like the EasyGreen MikroFarm you know the answer. Its right from your own kitchen counter.
