Have you seen these crazy bean sprouters that are attached to the flush of your toilet for rinsing? I am all for fresh sprouts and good sprouting results but do you really want your food to be coming out of your toilet or bathroom and on to your table? I am sure you can pick up a clean water source from inside the cistern of your toilet but you will have:
- The thought of where your sprouts were grown to contend with and
- I am not so sure the rest of the environment within your bathroom is hygienic for food production, particularly your toilet!
For those of you who do not know what I am talking about, there are articles and Youtube videos floating around under the title “Bean Sprouter”. The device consists of a plastic bottle tipped upside down with the neck of the bottle pointing down. The bottle has a hole in the base (which becomes the top when inverted) for a hose to be inserted and your beans for sprouting sit in the bottle with some sort of mesh to prevent them from coming out the bottle neck. The hose is attached to a source of incoming water within the cistern of your toilet so that each time the toilet is flushed, water flows up the hose in to the bottle, down over the sprouts and then drains out the neck.
The principle behind it is fine. I am all for a sprouting method that eliminates the need for daily rinsing, as the bean sprouter effectively becomes an automatic sprouter. In saying that, I just cannot get my head around my sprouts being rinsed by my toilet….! Imagine sitting down to a fresh plate of sprouts and eating them at the porcelain throne….. Not that likely, so why would you want to grow them there?
