1. A covered container with cryo-sprouts comprising:
a container comprising a membrane supported above a floor of the container on internal supports;
seeds disposed on the membrane;
water in the container, the amount of water sufficient for germination and growth of the seeds into cryosprouts; and
a lid covering the container and forming an air permeable seal between the lid and the container, wherein the air permeable seal is configured for the permeation of air during germination of seeds and growth into cryo-sprouts, wherein the seeds germinate and grow into cryo-sprouts in the covered container at a pathogen antagonistic temperature below about 45° F., wherein the covered container comprises all of the water needed by the seeds for germination of the seeds and growth into the cryo-sprouts prior to covering with the lid, wherein the permeability to air in the covered container consists of permeability through the air permeable seal between the lid and the container.
