This picture shows the parts you get with with our vegetable storage system for keeping your sprouts/leafy greens/general vegetables fresh in the fridge. The reason for the 2 cotton bags is to make it easy to swap them over, which you need to do on a regular basis if your vegetable item is producing too much moisture and the inside of the plastic bag has a lot of condensation on it. Click to hide.

This is the method I now use to store my sprouts and salad greens also other vegetables. If it is leafy greens like sprouts then it's best to store them 1st in a mesh bag, the reason for this is that any damp material will not stick to the cotton bag (meaning you do not have to wash the cotton bag every time you change it). So the simple procedure is put the sprouts and or leafy greens inside the mesh bag, zip it up, place inside the cotton bag, then place inside a plastic bag that doesn't have any holes in it, gently squeeze the air out and secure with the clip.
The trick is to make sure that the sprouts or leafy greens or your entire salad mix is not too wet. To achieve this with the sprouts I leave them at a 45° angle with no cover for half a day then I remove any water in the base and turn the sprouts upside down and leave for another half a day. Because we’ve been soaking these once-a-day in the nutrient solution the sprouts are full of moisture, and it is only the outside edges that are drying, so after adding to the mesh bag, cotton bag, plastic bag, each day I just swap the cotton bag and turn the plastic bag inside out. Actually, I normally mix my sprouts (after the drying process above) with my microgreens once per week giving me enough salad for the week and I change the cotton bag, invert the plastic bag, daily as above, this habit stops me leaving them for too long and the cotton bag becoming mouldy. This is the reason we supply 2 cotton bags with the kit. Click to hide.

Here we see the procedure for storing some vegetables, in this case a cob of corn and a cucumber. Step one is to make sure you remove any surface moisture (just leave them in a well aired place for a few hours and this will happen) wrap each 1 in a paper towel then place in the cotton bag, then inside the plastic bag, remove the air and secure with the clip supplied if the paper towel becomes damp just replace it before the cotton bag becomes saturated. So the minimum would be to invert the plastic bag so the condensation is on the outside each day, if there is no condensation than the cotton bag probably doesn’t need to be changed or the cotton bags.
Sometimes I purchase a cauliflower early in the week when they come fresh into the shop, when I get them home I remove any outside leaf, trim off any spots of mould on the outside of the cauliflower, allow to dry for a few hours and then place inside the cotton bag and then inside the plastic bag and seal with the clips. I take this out at the end of the week when I’m going to make my cauliflower, potato, pea curry and it looks as good as when I put it in, maybe after a couple of days invert the plastic bag that’s about it.

This cotton bag is also designed to be used as a carry bag, it comes with handles for your hand which are also used as part of the folding mechanism i.e. folds into a small package so it can easily fit inside your normal carry bag when you go vegetable shopping i.e. the one that fits over your shoulder, this 1 can be used to carry delicate fruit/veggies and comes with a convenient handgrip. Folding process shown on the next slide. Click to hide.

Here we see the process of using the handle strap to secure a small folded version of the bag. Step one is to fold in thirds, step 2 flip over so the open part of the strap handle is on the top, again fold in thirds, on top of one another, with the final fold going through the strap. Click to hide.

If bag becomes too moist and left too long in the refrigerator, it will develop spots of mould the simple solution is to soak in bleach for a couple of hours, then soak in freshwater and rinse clean. This is why it's important to change the cotton bag every day or 2 and turn the plastic bag inside out so the condensation is on the outside.
Store and reuse just topping up with bleach if it becomes weak, this way you will not be pouring it down the sink which is not good for the environment. Click to hide.

The Vegetable/Sprout Storage Kit consists of – 2 cotton bags, one mesh bag, and a clip to seal plastic bags. Can be used to store leafy greens, sprouts, vegetables in general and can also be used as a shopping and carry bag also designed to fold into a small neat package.
This is the method I now use to store my sprouts and salad greens also other vegetables.

So the simple procedure is put the leafy greens inside the mesh bag, zip it up, place inside the cotton bag, then place inside a plastic bag that doesn’t have any holes in it, gently squeeze the air out and secure with the clip supplied if you do not have any plastic bags please let us know and we’ll put a heavy duty one in there for you.
We supply 2 cotton bags with this kit, the reason being is that, no matter how carefully you remove the surface moisture, there will always be some remaining, meaning that when you take your sprouts out after a day or 2 you will find the cotton bag may be quite damp so the procedure is just to swap the cotton bag, hang the moist one up to dry, turn the plastic bag inside out so any condensation is on the outside of the plastic bag and proceed to secure the plastic bag with the clip.
This cotton bag is also designed to be used as a carry bag, it comes with handles for your hand which are also used as part of the folding mechanism i.e. folds into a small package so it can easily fit inside your normal carry bag when you go vegetable shopping i.e. the one that fits over your shoulder, this 1 can be used to carry delicate fruit/veggies and comes with a convenient handgrip.

Sprouting kit 2 small sprouting colanders with covers plus one large 4L colander with cover along with 250ml of bio activated organic nutrients + Storage options(2 X cotton bags, mesh bag, plastic bag clip).

Sprout Kit Lg. x 1 + Sprout Bag

Sprouting kit 1 large colander with cover + Storage options(2 x cotton bags, 2 x mesh bags, plastic bag clip ) for the early stage of sprouting (instead of the small colanders) +250 ml of bio-activated nutrients for sprouting with seed selection. So the idea with this kit is you use 1 of the mesh bags to grow your sprouts for the 1st say 4 days, you then empty them into the large colander for the final stages of cleaning (removal of husk) and greening. When the sprouts are ready you stop soaking and draining them and leave them to dry for a couple of days and then store them in the other mesh bag inside the cotton bag inside a plastic bag. You can then start sprouting again in your other mesh bag or if you have another spare colander you can begin this process earlier. This saves you the cost of extra small colanders with covers but not quite as convenient in my opinion. Select the Product Name button to go to that Product Or Click to hide.

Sprout Kit Lg. Mung

Growing Super Mung bean Sprouts using 1 large 4 L colander +2 KG of pebbles to weigh the sprouts +1 KG of Mung bean and bio-activated super organic nutrients.
Growing the mung bean in the long white format. This can be done by putting it in a space that restricts its growth or similarly, as we have done here, placing a weight on top of the sprouts, along with the tea towel this serves the purpose of also keeping the light out i.e. so the leaf development is restricted.
We give you the option of purchasing this kit with or without the cover, if you are just doing mung beans then you do not need the cover, however if you want to use it to do normal sprouts then you can sprout the seeds in the mesh bag for say 3 – 4 days, and then empty them into the large colander and proceed with the sprouting process from there, in this case you will need the cover.
We also supply you with our sprouts/vegetable storage system this allows you to store your sprouts in the fridge for well over a week. Select the Product Name button to go to that Product Or Click to hide.
