Easygreen Automatic Germinator

The testimonies received on germinators and sprouted seeds overlap on certain points:

• difficulties in changing one’s eating habits
• lack of time or rigour to manage a germinator on a regular basis
• personal organisation a priori incompatible (absences during the week, movement …)
• particular difficulties in germinating certain sensitive seeds (sunflower, buckwheat …)
• too high temperature problems (in summer for example)
• presence of midges, moulds … leading to the abandonment of seeds sprouted

Principle of operation

The Easygreen germinator maintains humidity within the growth enclosure and the misting and regular aeration of the seeds guaranteeing an unequaled freshness compared to a manual germinator. No other germinator ensures the aeration of the seeds and the evacuation of the heat related to the phenomenon of growth.Programming is carried out using a mechanical programmer which ensures between 5 to 8 daily misting cycles, lasting 15 to 20 minutes. In total this represents a daily consumption of water of between 2 and 3 litres, much lower than the quantities of water used to rinse the same quantity of seeds manually. The consumption of the device in operation (2 to 3 hours per 24 hours is 18 watts).

Daily useUsing your germinator comes down to:

• monitoring the water level in the tank, knowing that if you forget, the fogger will continue to operate without damage, it will then only provide ventilation. This monitoring can be eliminated by installing an automatic filling system.
• eat the seeds that have sprouted and replace them with dry seeds
• clean your Easygreen once a week with a cloth, and 2 or 3 times a year for more thorough cleaning. Note that the Easygreen has an automatic cleaning cycle which can be implemented with white crystal vinegar.

General Operating Principle

The water contained in the 5 litre tank is sucked in by venturi effect which will have an energising and oxygenating effect (see video above).

The “cool” water will then be mixed with a filtered air flow and the mist thus generated will be vaporized on the surface of the seeds placed in the growth enclosure. Residual water is collected at the front of the device and is not recirculated. This rinse water is loaded with enzyme inhibitors, and it is important that it is discarded.

A vantages of EasyGreen

• more soaking seeds, more irrigation , reduced monitoring at least see almost zero if you use the automatic filling
• it is possible to grow some seeds difficult to succeed in a manual propagator: unshelled sunflower, unhulled buckwheat … etc – the Easygreen continues to operate during your absences , leaves, trips: there is no longer any interruption in the production of your germinated seeds
• this device has been designed to easily start a daily production of sprouted seeds, just replace the seeds consumed and replace the tray.
• tall seeds have perfectly clean and pure water , which is not the case with other automatic germinaters which “recycle” water and enzyme inhibitors. Those cis are released by the seeds.
• reasonable water consumption: 2 to 3 litres per day by choosing 8 daily cycles.
• The Easygreen has been the subject of numerous improvements since its creation, making it very efficient and economical to use.

A uy the EasyGreen

Easygreen has been sold for 20 years in 32 countries around the world, including in a scientific base located in Antartica. It is probably the best germinator in the world.

By purchasing the Easygreen you are making an important gesture to improve the quality of your daily diet, you will consume food produced in your own kitchen, with unequaled freshness and vitality.

Easygreen comparison – other automatic germinators:

Other more economical germinators exist on the European market. Easygreen differs from them on five essential points which condition the success of your sprouted seeds. If you are considering buying another system, find out about these points:

• The Easygreen does not use a fragile pump operating under pressure but a fogger which sucks the water by a natural spiral movement (see video below), thus improving the subtle quality of the water.
  The motor (18 watts) of the fogger is placed well above the tank and therefore does not heat the water contained in it by contact. In addition, the misting principle lowers the temperature of the water if it is high, which makes it possible to refresh the seeds. The warmer or warmer the irrigation water, the more the development of mould or rot is favoured.
• Easygreen uses fresh water for each watering and not recycled water. The seeds release enzyme inhibitors during germination and it is essential that these undesirable substances can be evacuated and not put back into circulation.
• The germinated seeds are aerated 6 to 8 times a day. The ventilation of the seeds is a fundamental point, this allows them to breathe in the best conditions and to evacuate the heat released by the germination process. The absence of ventilation facilitates the appearance of mould.
• The Easygreen has an automatic cleaning system for the enclosure
• The roots of the germinated seeds remain confined in the removable trays which are easy to clean.

Here is a personal comparison. The same seeds were placed on the same day, in the same room and under the same conditions in:

• right image: a “classic” manual germinator which was rinsed twice a day by hand for 3 days
• left image : Easygreen which mists and rinses the seeds 8 times a day with energized waterThis is just a result of the speed of growth, taste and freshness not yet on the screen!
