Sprouting Lids for Wide Mouth Mason Jars

Already have wide-mouth mason jars at home? These sprouting lids are all you need to start growing fresh, nutritious sprouts in your kitchen. Designed to fit most standard wide-mouth jars, these dishwasher-safe lids make sprouting seeds incredibly simple—no special equipment required beyond what you likely already own.

Why These Sprouting Lids Work

Fits jars you already have: These lids are designed to fit most wide-mouth mason jars with openings between 3.38" and 3.5", including popular brands like Ball 32oz jars and Verones 16oz jars. No need to buy specialized sprouting equipment—just grab some mason jars from your pantry or local store.

Smart drainage design: Each lid features built-in peg legs that elevate the jar at an angle, allowing excess water to drain while maintaining proper airflow. This prevents the common beginner mistake of waterlogged sprouts and encourages healthy, vigorous growth.

Versatile mesh screen: The mesh size works perfectly for a wide range of sprouting seeds—from tiny broccoli and alfalfa seeds to larger beans and purple kohlrabi. One lid handles nearly any sprouting crop you want to try.

Beginner-friendly: New to sprouting? The process is remarkably simple:

1. Soak your seeds for approximately 8 hours
2. Rinse with fresh water and drain twice daily
3. In just 5-7 days (for most crops), enjoy fresh homegrown sprouts

Place a plate beneath your jars to catch dripping water, and you're all set.

Sprouts + Microgreens = The Perfect Pair

Love microgreens? You'll love sprouts too! Both are nutrient-dense, easy to grow, and add incredible flavor and texture to salads, sandwiches, and more. Sprouts are even faster than microgreens—ready in 5-7 days with minimal equipment.

What's the difference? Sprouts are germinated seeds eaten whole (including the root), while microgreens are slightly more mature plants harvested after the first true leaves develop. Learn more about Sprouts vs Microgreens to decide which fits your growing goals.

Growing both gives you fresh, homegrown nutrition year-round with minimal space and effort.

Care & Maintenance
