Growing sprouts for a better world
Growing sprouts is a simple way to quickly and affordably produce highly nutritious food. Sprouts are true vitamin bombs. In addition to high concentrations of nutrients, they contain plenty of antioxidants and minerals. They strengthen the immune system, promote digestion, and contribute to heart health, making them an ideal addition to your daily diet.
Moreover, sprouts offer an intense flavor experience, concentrating the taste of the vegetable in a small package. Healthy, delicious, and easy to cultivate, sprouts can play a significant role in addressing global food challenges.
Growing on wood fiber grow mats: A sustainable and efficient method
Sprouts are often grown on soil or hemp fiber mats, which can be effective but are typically labor-intensive and costly. Additionally, such substrates are not sterile and may harbor harmful bacteria, mold spores, or insects.
Wood fiber grow mats, made from sterile wood fibers, are designed with sustainability and functionality in mind. These mats are biodegradable and fully compostable. Their production and decomposition support sustainable agricultural practices.
Efficient and flexible
These mats do not require rinsing before use. Simply place them in a cultivation tray, moisten them, and sprinkle a thin layer of seeds. The seeds can be grown under glass or in a fully controlled environment and will develop into sprouts within just a few days. The mats are suitable for cultivating a wide variety of plants, including microleaf salads, wheatgrass, cress, pea shoots, watercress, basil, radish, peppermint, mustard, purple and green shiso, chives, spinach, Swiss chard, kale, and baby leaf salads.
With their optimal air and moisture retention properties, these mats promote healthy root development and ensure uniform sprout growth.
G-Tools grow mats: available in three sizes
G-Tools grow mats are available in three different sizes and are just 1mm thick. By stacking multiple mats, you can easily create a thicker substrate. Depending on the type of sprout being grown, the irrigation system used, or the product’s storage needs after harvest, you can opt for one, two, or three mats layered together. The more mats used, the greater the water retention capacity.
