You also wouldn't have to worry about catching nasty diseases from shop bought ones.
Those sprout growing gadgets are great for growing your own....but.....it's much cheaper to improvise with what you already have around your home. I grew mine in a large screw top jar with cotton wool in the base. I'm sure one of those plastic containers you have in your cupboard would do the same thing.

I just took a long walk to Adams Apples (the organic place). I bought some brocolli sprouts, some sweet pea shoot things and a bag of organic green lentils. I went on youtube and saw exactly how they do lentils.
I did the exact same steps. 12 hours from now, I will pour out the water, wash them again and rinse.
In 3 or 4 days I will have Lentil sprouts.
HOPEFULLY!!!
