Help Patina Germina grow
We’re launching Patina Germina on Kickstarter to bring it into production and keep the design true to its low-tech, EU-made roots.
You can support the project by backing the campaign, or by sharing it with someone who loves growing, cooking, or thoughtful design.
Either way, you help this story grow.
Why Sprouts?
Good for you, and gentle on the planet
Sprouts may be small, but they are packed with nutrients.
During germination, seeds unlock vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, making sprouts a powerful addition to everyday meals: fresh, crunchy and full of flavour.
Sprouts need very little water, no soil and hardly any space, which makes them one of the most resource-efficient foods you can grow at home, all year round.
From mild and nutty to peppery or slightly sweet, different seeds bring their own character to your dishes.
