sprouters
Vessels for germination
Sprouters are containers or devices designed for growing sprouts from seeds—typically for eating.
They provide the moisture and drainage that seeds need to germinate: I use stackable sprouters for my alfalfa and mung beans.
The word also refers to people or things that sprout: The garden's early sprouters are already pushing through the soil.
