Growing Broccoli Sprouts for Highest Sulforaphane 🌱

Wish I had known about sulforaphane earlier!

1. Wash 4 tbsp of broccoli seeds per quart jar with a drop of soap and a tbsp of vinegar. Rinse 10+ times to remove all soap.
2. Soak overnight (8 hours minimum) and discard the water.
3. Keep moist in a dark environment (like the pantry) by rinsing the seeds at least twice a day. Use a stainless steel mesh lid and stand the jar upside down (or at an angle) to drain excess water.
4. Rinse and repeat for 3-4 days. As soon as leaves shoot out of the majority of the seeds—they’re ready to eat! In fact, this is when they have the highest sulforaphane content, so freeze them if not consuming within a day or two.

Great, short video! Double bonus points for feeding the hubby at the end.

I learned about broccoli sprouts on Dave Asprey podcast the human upgrade and have been eating sprouts every day since because of the extreme health benefits. I put them in everything. It’s the only vegetable that I eat now saving me a fortune so folks it’s worth figuring out how you can make the sprouts a part of your daily routine. You don’t necessarily need to buy all the contraptions they sell. It took me a couple of days to figure out where to store them and how to rinse them to get rid of the husks. Then just put them in the refrigerator when they’re done with the last stage, which is giving them light to make chlorophyll. I’m so excited because I never could get into making a salad with all those overpriced ingredients and then the washing and the chopping. I’m so glad those days are over for me 🎉
Don’t pack them so tight as that will attract mold. Must rinse three times a day. That could be tricky for some people’s schedule so we need to experiment and see if we can do this in the refrigerator instead of in a cupboard?

Things I used to do in my 20’s and people thought I was crazy.

Love this video! I’ve been making sprouts 2 years and learned a thing or two. ❤

I heard that heating them up to a specific temperature near boiling also increases the available active ingredient. Then you can freeze it for later.

Feed your husband is gold so rare and knowing what is good for the body is even rarer wow you got a gem bro

Darnit!...I need to get off my duff and learn to grow these! I've had a few jars for a couple years now, but just need to get started!

Everyday at lunch. 1 salad, 1 garlic clove, 1 cup of broccoli sprouting, olive oil... and you are a beast in bed.

Sprinkle some nutritional yeast and salt and YUM!!!!

My instructions all say to grow my broccoli sprouts for five days, kinda curious why you only say three is it to do with the stages of development or am I missing something?😅

[brookewilson]

This is a great and very informative video! Once you rinse the excess seeds out of the sprouts, can you reuse those seeds for new sprouts?

Fid you know brocooli, cabbage, kale and a few others are from the same plant. Wild mustard was used many years ago to grow these plants

What brand seeds and where to buy please?

[AmandaSmith-]

Thanks for the video, I'm gonna try it! I get mine at ingles (grocery store) but would love just grow them.

[karenlowe]

Where do I buy good quality non-GMO non-pesticide seeds from??

[susieast]

Haha! His face 😆 How long do you let them go before harvesting? I was just gifted a tray set and can't wait to start it!

[julianbutler]

Freeze them, then blend to increase the potency.

Are broccoli sprouts the same as broccoli microgreens?

[rimax]

ben bunu yaptım ama yedikten sonra halsizlik ve brain fog gibi şeyler yaptı bende, torfta microgreen olarak yetiştirsem sulforaphane azalır mı acaba?
