Bio Bulb
The Bio Bulb is a product that makes it possible to grow sprouts from grains and seeds quickly and easily at home. After soaking the seeds or grains overnight they are rinsed daily and ready to eat after 2-5 days growth. They are then at their peak of freshness, in contrast to other plant foods which can have compromised nutritional levels due to long distance travel.
Sprouts are an environmentally friendly food, with no need for pesticides or fertilisers. They have lower CO2 emissions related to long distance food transport, as well as saving on wasteful packaging. This product can contribute towards a diet that is more local and organic.
The form for the Bio Bulb has been inspired by the rounded organic shapes found in the seeds and grains that the product then brings to life.
