As an increasing number of people around the world turn to functional foods like sprouts as a way to address common gut issues like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and ulcerative colitis, the new guide from Agriris offers a roadmap for the process of auto-sprouting.

A recent study published in the Journal of Clinical Biochemical Nutrition shows that the regular intake of broccoli sprouts normalizes bowel function and helps alleviate discomfort and symptoms related to gut issues and chronic oxidative stress. To boost further awareness within the functional food community, Agriris’s troubleshooting guide for their AutoSprout device simplifies the growth process for people wishing to grow sprouts in their own homes. “Growing your own sprouts at home can be a game-changer for your health and your kitchen,” explains Anniken Fure Stensrud - Co Founder and MSc Plant Science. “But let’s be real - sprouting can be tricky, and that’s where AutoSprout comes in. Our goal is to take the guesswork out of sprouting and to help ensure you get perfect results every time.”

The guide covers sprouting basics, including how to select and prepare the most ideal types of seeds for functional food sprouting in the AutoSprout device, including broccoli, alfalfa, lentils, mung beans, and radishes.

Once seeds have been chosen, readers of the guide will also find out how to customize the AutoSprout growing program to match the specific type of sprouts, as each kind has different lighting and watering needs.

An in-depth explanation of the importance of temperature and location is provided, as the guide notes that stable temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C) create the “happy zone” for most sprouts. As exposure to extreme variations in temperature, direct sunlight, or cold air can cause sprouts to become stressed, the Agriris team offers tips for where to place the device for optimal growth.

Finally, readers will learn about AutoSprout’s dual water tank system and how to make sure sprouts are getting the right level of water each day, with attention on consistent moisture at regular time intervals, as well as guidance for preventing mold and bacteria growth.
