Bicarbonate disinfects and deodorizes the tray to sprout, and with its grainy side, it loosens the impurities on the walls.

This cleaning works equally well for plastic, terracotta, glass or ceramic sprouters.

It is important to disinfect it regularly so that the sprouted seeds are safe to eat.

Additional info

Sprouts are a very nutritious food. They are full of micronutrients, antioxidants and vitamins.

The most famous are wheat, spelled, rye, oats, lentils, flax, chickpeas, alfalfa, sesame and fennel.

On the other hand, be aware that tomato, eggplant or rhubarb seeds should be avoided, as they have toxic leaves.
