Abstract
A sprouter having a wall or walls defining the lateral extent of a growing chamber, and a base connected to the wall or walls for forming a bottom of the chamber. The base includes proturbances that form indentations on the base for retaining a quantity of water which supplies sprouts growing in the growing chamber with water for a predetermined length of time. The proturbances also prevent seeds in the growing chamber from sliding when the base is tilted slightly during movement.
