Victorio VKP1014 4-Tray Seed Sprouter Review


Product Review: Victorio VKP1014 4-Tray Seed Sprouter

Company: Amazon via seller Victorio

Price Range: $17-$20

Pros:

Sprout at home with ease. For anyone that has tried sprouting at home with a homemade rig out of a mason jar, cheese cloth, and some sort of prop, you are doing way too much work. With the Victorio Seed Sprouter I can grow a ton of sprouts with only a fraction of the effort.

Grow enough sprouts to eat fresh vegetables every day of the week. With 4 Trays, the Seed Sprouter can easily meet a single individual's needs for sprouts each day of the week. Better yet, grow four different kinds of sprouts and choose from a diverse array of sprout varieties depending on your own personal tastes. Stagnate the amount of sprouts you grow though. Do no front load the system with just alfalfa seeds all at once. Every other day add seeds to the next tray

Don't waste time trying to grow sprouts in a mason jar. Mason jar sprouting is excessively difficult and requires a good deal of counter space if you want to grow multiple batches of sprouts at a time. Along with this, the rinsing process with mason jars is a pain. With the Victorio Sprouter, all you need is a tiny space on your kitchen counter as the trays stack vertically. Rinsing the sprouts is incredibly easy, just poor water from the top down.

Cleanup of the Victorio 4 Tray Seed Sprouter is quite simple. After every watering/rinsing of the sprouts, you will need to dump the excess water that collects in the bottommost tray. Just dump the water in the sink, do not drink this water nor use it in smoothies. After you collect the sprouts from a tray, you will want to wash the tray out in the sink, and then run it through the dishwasher. It is incredibly important to thoroughly wash these trays as you want to keep any sort of bad bacteria out of these trays as mold easily could ruin sprouts.

Health benefits of sprouts are awesome. We all know about the wealth of nutrients and antioxidants found in plants. We also know the fresher the vegetable, the more healthful the vegetable will be. With sprouts you get the best of both worlds. You can easily grow a wealth of vegetable varieties by sprouting to meet all sorts of health needs. What is even better is the ability to grow the freshest vegetables you could imagine all in your own kitchen. No backyard is required. No hydroponic lighting system required. Just a 1 foot by 1 foot space that is in indirect sunlight is all that is required to grow fresh sprouts for consumption.

Cons:


Seeds and roots can occasionally clog the holes that allow for water circulation. This means that water will then begin to back up in the trays and will trickle down much more slowly. Rarely will you ever have an entire tray completely back up with water due to every circulatory hole being clogged. If holes are clogging constantly, you are going to need to use something like a toothpick to dislodge seeds that get stuck in the holes. If roots are clogging the holes, that likely means the sprouts are growing too large and it is time for harvest.

Guarantee:


The Amazon A-Z Guarantee is the best guarantee in the market. In the event that the product is not delivered, delivered in a broken condition, or is not meeting the quality expectations of the buyer, the item may be returned to Amazon for a full refund. A 30 day window exists to file a claim to Amazon over any problem that may come up with the product.

Value for money?

The Victorio 4 Tray Seed Sprouter is a fantastic purchase for anyone in the world of sprouting. Never buy sprouts from the store, they are overpriced and are one of the most dangerous foods you can purchase at a store (especially alfalfa sprouts). Grow your own sprouts at home with this Victorio Sprouter to save big time on money and ensure all sprouts are grown in proper sanitary conditions. While it may be free to grow sprouts in a recycled jar and some cheese cloth laying around, you will want to pull your hair out due to how big of a headache it is to actually grow the darn things. Victorio simplified everything with its vertical growing design.
