Someone in their 7th decade here, who has been sprouting for six of them. Tried fancy three-tier systems, you name it… and having gone bs k to the basic mesh lid on an Agee jar have been STOKED with my Symbiota sprouting lid! It fits the very old Agee jars (with the square writing) and is so much easier to clean than the plastic ones that have been around for donkey’s years! No prickly bits sticking out! The stainless rim is also so much easier to clean effectively. I’ve already put in an order for another couple of lids.
