How to Grow Broccoli Sprouts
Equipment
- 2 1 quart glass bottles
- 2 mesh sprouting lids
- 1 bowl
Materials
- 1 bag Broccoli Seeds
- 2 cups Water
Instructions
- Put 2 tablespoons of broccoli sprout seeds in a quart jar.
- Put sprouting mesh lid on the quart bottle.
- Rinse seeds. Fill jar 1/2 way with water. Soak 8 hours in dark cupboard.
- Rinse the seeds and place the jar upside down in a bowl to catch any additional water that may leak out. Place back in the cupboard overnight.
- Rinse the sprouts twice a day for 5 to 6 days keeping sprouts in cupboard.
- When leaves appear, set out on counter and let sprouts dry before storing them in the freezer or fridge.
Notes
If you don't like the taste of these, you can get the same benefits of chewing them by freezing them and blend them with a little bit of water. Then add more ingredients to make a smoothie. You do need to drink it immediately to get the sulforaphane benefits.
I use 2 bottles so I can continuously rotate sprouts. Around day 3, I will start a new batch. I recommend this if you are eating a couple of tablespoons of sprouts 3 times a day. You will go through them fast.
