Grow Veggies Indoors With ToastBox’s Sprouting Kits

The folks at ToastBox have collaborated with ABLE (Abilities Beyond Limitations and Expectations) to introduce these sprouting kits which allow you to grow your own vegetables indoors! I’ve personally experimented with growing the bak choy and kai lan sprouts (as you can see in the picture above) and I have to say it’s a really easy way of getting pesticide-free veggies for my salads! What’s more, each sprouting kit costs just S$5 (good for about 4 harvests) and 100% of the proceeds go to charity! It’s truly a win-win-win situation as ToastBox’s recycled coffee grounds go into the soil compost (thus reducing waste), consumers get fresh home- or office-grown sprouts to eat (with no pesticides) and ABLE helps its beneficiaries lead more productive, meaningful and independent lives (the physically challenged help pack these sprouting kits!)

I don’t know who came up with this idea of this amazing collaboration between ToastBox and ABLE but… give that person an award!

I’m looking forward to more spinoffs from this product. Perhaps ToastBox can package and sell its coffee grounds. I’m sure local growers will want to purchase them for their plants or gardens. Also, more plants for us to grow, please! Besides chili, bak choy and kai lan, how about tomatoes, eggplant, strawberries and others? Parsley and mint would be great too!

It’s a simple setup: empty the packet of soil into the cup, sow the seeds, and then water daily. You can leave the cup next to a window where the sprouts can bask in the sunshine! It’s sure to be a lovely addition to your office or home – I like taking short breaks from working on the computer and just look at how well the plants are growing!
