Gay Courter (born October 1, 1944) is an American author. Her first non-fiction work, The Beansprout Book (1973),[1] introduced beansprouts to American supermarkets and the general public. She eventually became known as "The Pied Piper of sprouting."[2] Her works have been translated into several languages, including French, Spanish, and Swedish.[3][4][5] Courter is credited with being one of the first female writers to write a published novel on a word processor.[6][7]
