A healthy diet has long been transformed into a fashionable current. One of its components are sprouted grains. If for inhabitants of country houses germination of work does not make, to townspeople in this respect it is more difficult. But there is a way out! To ensure their diet with sprouts of wheat (used including for weight loss ), peas, oats, buckwheat and other legumes and cereals, it is enough to purchase a special unit - a seed germinator. Thanks to this device, your salads, soups and second dishes will acquire a new taste, enriched with vitamins, enzymes, microelements.
Buying an automatic seed germinator will save you from having to buy sprouts and sprouts of cereals and legumes in supermarkets. It's no secret that such food can not be called healthy, because producers can use raw materials of questionable quality, and to accelerate the growth of add harmful chemicals.
Types of germination
If you are convinced that you can not do without this unit, it is worth to familiarize yourself with the types of sprouting companies represented on the market today. Most common for household use are ordinary sprouts, which are containers with pallets. They can be made of different materials. The most eco-friendly models are porcelain, glass, ceramic and clay seed sprouts. There are also models made of plastic, but you do not need to buy them. Such devices are quite inexpensive, but they have one common drawback. The fact that you have to periodically wash the grain, so they do not sour, not moldy and not covered with mucus.
Do not want to waste time on maintenance of the device? Then take a look at the automatic round hydroponic sprouts that are able to give good harvests without human intervention. Looks like models mounted on each other a few pans. The lower serves as a reservoir for water, and the upper serves for grains and seeds. A pump is installed in the center of the system, through which the grains are periodically irrigated with water. Pump water pumps can be double-ended and four-pointed. In more expensive devices there is an automatic timer, additional trays, special basins and sieves. Presented and multi-tiered models that allow you to save space in the apartment with an increase in the volume of germinated seeds.
However, hydroponic growers are not without flaws. So, any grains during germination give off a specific viscous substance that enters the water. If you do not change it in time, then this mucus, dissolved in water, will constantly wash the entire crop. In addition, budget models during operation produce loud enough noise, so it is better to install them in a secluded corner of the house.
If the family often consumes sprouted seeds and fresh herbs, it is worth looking at more powerful germination agents, which, thanks to the abundance of functions, have been called micro-farms. Such a sprouting agent is suitable for germination of seeds and for growing microlens (mustard, watercress, flax, arugula, etc.). Of course, the dimensions of the device can not be called small, but
Wonders of technology
Do you want to get a real home garden? This is possible thanks to sprouts, called mini-gardens and aero-gardens. These devices allow not only to provide the family with germinated seeds and micro-greenery, but also real vegetables. At any time of the year, you will find useful and tasty plants on your table, which you will not have to doubt!
