Start Growing Sprouts Effortlessly
Fresh Superfoods in Just a Few Days
Patina Germina makes it simple: soak, rinse twice a day, harvest. In less than a week, you'll have nutrient-dense sprouts growing on your kitchen counter: no soil, no electricity, no guesswork. Just water, time, and a daily rhythm that brings you closer to what you eat.
Whether you're adding crunch to a sandwich, freshness to a salad, or a nutritional boost to any meal, homegrown sprouts are ready when you are.
Why Sprouts?
Small seeds, big impact—for you and the planet
Sprouts are one of the most nutrient-dense foods you can eat. During germination, seeds unlock vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, turning a dormant seed into a nutritional powerhouse in just days.
But here's what makes them really special:
Ready fast: 3-4 days from seed to plate (not weeks or months)
Incredibly efficient: Use 95% less water than most vegetables
Zero waste: Grow exactly what you need, when you need it
Year-round fresh: No garden, no soil, no outdoor space required
Flavor variety: From mild and nutty (lentils) to peppery (radish) to sweet (peas)
Fresh greens on your kitchen counter in winter? Yes.
Nutrient-rich food with barely any resources? Absolutely.

Why Patina Germina?
Designed to make growing food feel natural
Designed to make sprouting feel natural
Most sprouting methods feel like they're designed for people who already know what they're doing.
Plastic containers with confusing parts, mason jars with DIY mesh lids, trays that don't drain properly.
Patina Germina removes all that friction.
The glass bowl lets you see exactly what's happening: no guessing, no mystery. The glazed terracotta base provides weight, stability, and natural drainage.
There are no complicated mechanisms, no parts that rust or stain, and no instructions you need to memorize.
You rinse in the morning while making coffee. You rinse again in the evening while cooking dinner.
It becomes part of your rhythm without demanding special attention.
The best part? Sprouting is incredibly forgiving. Even if you've never done it before, you'll get the hang of it in one cycle.

A fresh green ritual for the everyday
Growing a little food at home won't solve everything. But it can change how you relate to what you eat.
Patina Germina turns sprouting into a small, hands-on habit, one that makes you feel more self-reliant and less tethered to the supermarket. It's not about perfection or self-sufficiency. It's about connection.
And there's something genuinely joyful about watching seeds unfold: opening, rooting, becoming more abundant with each passing day. It's life, happening right in front of you, at the pace of your own kitchen routine.
Fresh food. Minimal effort. Maximum satisfaction.
