When my stepsons were small and came to live with us, the older one was your standard 'picky eater'.
Letting them have their own sprouting garden was such an excellent way to get them interested in taking part in what they ate.

Love growing sprouts! Remember to CHEW your broccoli sprouts: when you chew the broccoli sprouts, you activate the enzyme (myrosinase) that converts a compound (glucoraphanin) in the broccoli sprouts into sulforaphane

Ive been growing sprouts for a couple years now after a couple of my grocery stores stopped selling alfalfa sprouts. Super easy and way cheap compared to store bought, I go through about 1-1.5 pounds of seeds per year I get from Amazon.

Raw, living, organic food gives you unlimited energy! Thanks for the video, Derek. Love that you’re getting into sprouting.

I grow Broccoli Sprouts all the time! Not only are they the healthiest to eat their a lot cheaper than what the grocery store sells. True Leaf Market are favorite seeds to buy from.

I LOVE broccoli sprouts! I put them on my smashed chickpea and avocado toast, topped with nutritional yeast and everything bagel seasoning. ITS SO GOOD😭 also love it on salads, pizza, soups!!!

[lindsaytoussaint]

Love the mushroom shirt! Also I used to sprout lentils - idk why I stopped. Would love to have some broccoli sprouts for sandwiches etc. Gotta go get some seeds!

[katrinakim]

I’m a new vegan and a homeschooling mom, so this will be the perfect project for me to do with my kids! Thank you!

Another great video. Very informational as usual. Just a note I have been sprouting seeds for a while now. For myself of course but also for my birds. My parakeets and cockatiels absolutely love them. Birds fed strictly on seeds will eventually die from malnutrition because seeds do not contain all the nutrients that they need. So adding these to your greens and to your protein that you give your bird aside from bird seed will help them nutritionally as well as help them live longer.

I've got to try those broccoli sprouts now, I love radishes and can't go wrong with those health benefits 👍

I’m going to try that tip about adding citric acid. I haven’t heard that before. Thank you for a great video! Also, a friend introduced me to Easy Sprout containers which are awesome. I’ve had issues sprouting in the past but these consistently turn out fantastic sprouts. (My friend carried them in his luggage so he could sprout while traveling - that’s how good they are!) They make it super easy. Highly recommend!

I have been sprouting and growing microgreens for over 30 years. I love them. While I grow many varieties for health my favorite taste wise is Fenugreek. I prefer my Sunflower seeds as micro greens. They are much easier to grow than many people claim. You do not need grow lights, a sunny window will do. Though you can use soil I prefer to use a soiless matt material made for growing this way. Along with Sunflower greens pea shoots and buckwheat lettuce are easy to grow this way too.

[mattostrokol]

I’ve been here long enough–I learned how to grow sprouts from your last sprouts video! 😁

[calatheaflamestar]

Omg. This video is just what I needed! I recently ordered organic grains and seeds (for sprouting) from my area and didn't have the motivation to start yet.
This is a sign😂 Thanks a lot!🙏♥️

[theresadoll]

Beautiful! I reckon you should upload a time lapse video of every sprouting you do ... where else can you watch a thousand new lives spring to life in just a few minutes? How about a “Sprout Sunday”?

[erniewbrooks]

I want you to know that I’ve been watching your videos for years, here and there. Today, I found such inspiration within a few of your videos. And I really appreciate how kind you are in sharing your experiences with food and what you learn. You and Crystal have such a beautiful way of being present in this space. Thank you so very much for that. I wish you well. With love, Ernie ♥️😀

Broccoli sprouts are also good for cancer, and H Pylori bacteria eat handful a day in morning 30 minutes before meal 👍 😊
