You can spend a lot of money on sprouters. I use quart-size Ball jars with nylon rings and stainless mesh from sproutpeople.com . I buy my seeds from them as well. I rotate between mung beans (great for stir fries), radish (zingy addition to sandwiches and salads), and broccoli (direct replacement for leaf veg in salads). You do have to rinse them during sprouting which amounts to about four gallons per week(ish). I've used the rinse water for tea and coffee (okay for me but some people don't like the aftertaste) and to water herbs (basil, chives, and espazante generally on board when the seasons are warm).
