sprouter

Bean growth device

A sprouter is a container or device used to germinate seeds for eating—typically a jar, tray, or tiered system that keeps seeds moist while allowing drainage: I grow my own bean sprouts in a sprouter on the kitchen counter.

The word also applies to anyone or anything that sprouts: a plant sprouting new growth, or a person sprouting ideas.
