Pictured above you can see 6 of our 40 growing drums after a 4-day growth. The sprouts are then raked out of each quad into harvest carts, which are rolled into the packing room. Using a stainless steel pitchfork, the sprouts are transferred into our 18 foot long, 4 ½ foot high washing tank which contains only pure water.
The seed hulls on the sprouts are removed in the wash tank, and the cleaned sprouts go onto a belt at the end of the wash tank, and fall into a clean bin on wheels.
