This is so weird. This morning, I was thinking about starting sprouting and microgreening. Mainly because I live in a rural area far from a decent greengrocer. I buy fruit and veg weekly, but I have to be careful to choose which ones will last. I recently had to throw 2 heads of broccoli which hadn’t lasted more than a couple of days. Growing or sprouting will enable me to have fresh veg every day. Thank you for your very timely video.
Me, too. 40 miles from the nearest Walmart and another small grocery store! I'm going to start this right away. I love salads, but only cabbage and baby spinach last very long. Sprouts will be a great addition. Thank you so much. Can't wait to hear more recipes using sprouts.
I recently have a abnormal lab test and had to go for a cancer screening biopsy. I saw a Dr Berg video saying broccoli sprouts and great 👍 anti cancer food so I want to try and eating more of this wonderful food. Thanks for the tutorial. Now I know it's easy to do
Because humans do not have the digestive system that herbavores have, eating plants *_always_* becomes a double-edged sword - humans will get benefits from plants but also be harmed by plant defense chemicals. For example, broccoli is packed full of vitamin C, very good and healthy, yes? Of course. But did you know that broccoli also contains plant defense chemical compounds called *_goitrogens_* that temporarily reduce your body's ability to uptake iodine? Yep. And it's particularly damaging to people who already have minor thyroid issues. Cows and sheep and other animals don't have this same problem with broccoli because they have wildly different digestive systems that can nullify the goitrogens. What does this have to do with cancer? Well, eating plants is a double-edged sword - some plants have anti-cancer properties, but they can still be damaging other areas of your health. More importantly, all vegetables and fruit contain carbohydrates. All carbohydrates break down into simple sugars like glucose, fructose, sucrose, etc. Guess what cancer cells use for energy? Yep, glucose. In other words, while a vegetable can provide anti-cancer compounds, it also comes along with carbohydrates that cancer will use for energy - a double-edged sword. Luckily it's not all bad news. Since you mentioned Dr. Berg, you must be somewhat familiar with the "keto diet," yes? Well, humans cells can use two kinds of energy: 1) Energy from carbohydrates (glucose) 2) Energy from fat (ketones) So what, right? Well, turns out the vast majority of cancer cells can *ONLY* use glucose for energy, and not ketones. That means - here comes the big punch line - if you decrease your carbs, and increase your ketones, you can make it very difficult for cancer cells to grow and survive in your body while also ensuring your own cells have plenty of energy to do their thing. Unlike eating vegetables, eating a meat-based diet (no-carb, ketogentic diet) will not help cancers in any way because meat, sea food, eggs, butter, salt, and water are packed with vitamins and minerals just like vegetables, but they don't have any of the carbohydrates that plants do. If you're worried about cancer, consider doing a no-carb, meat-based, ketogenic diet ("carnivore" diet) for 90 days. If you're worried about fiber and cholesterol (you shouldn't be worried about either of those things but many people are) then you can go back to eating vegetables and sprouted plants afterwards. I'm betting that you'll be feeling so good after those 90 days that you won't be in a hurry to add fruit and veg back in, but I'm just basing that on my experience. Anyway, whatever you choose to do, I wish you the best health, and a long, happy life filled with people who love and appreciate you. Peace and love. ✌🏽❤
While no seed you will every buy for sprouting would be GMO, they just cleared the first GMO 'home garden' seed and you can only buy from the manufacturer, organic can be important, also if you don't know the exact cleaning process a particular company uses, the seeds have been stored a bit to long, or if you bought seeds that where not sold explicitly for sprouts/microgreens you can and should disinfect your sprouting seeds, its a relatively easy process, there are some great databases online for safety information, but generally most seeds can just be soaked in white vinegar for a few minutes before soaking in distilled water to sprout, that cleans any mold spores etc.. from the seeds that can multiply easily in a sprouting/microgreen environment. Simple step to keep you safe.
I've been sprouting for a few months, and my favorite sprouts so far are fenugreek seeds. I've been doing them in a colander over a bowl, and someone just gave me a mason jar to try. I like those stainless steel containers. Thanks for your awesome channel!
You mentioned that sometimes your broccoli sprouts gets slimy one thing I would’ve done after I took them out of the stainless steel containers is running through a salad spinner, which will really really take the excess moisture out and prevent them from becoming slimy. The other thing that I do is when I was going to soak my seeds to get everything started I add some ocean minerals, something like that to really bolster up the nutritional value of it other than that terrific video. Thank you.
Nice to hear I'm not the only one who eats soups and stews for dinner. I make a batch n a crock pot and have leftovers for another 3 nights or 4 nights. Any leftover I freeze in individual-size servings. So convenient, during the weekdays especially.
I've been eating peanut butter and banana sandwichs my whole life but we slice the bananas about 1/4" thick and putthem on top of the peanut buttered bread. It's a whole lot easier to eat that way. I love the idea of the sprouts. I'm going to try it on my next sandwich.
This is great! I started sprouting alfalfa sprouts in the 80s and recently decided to up my game a bit with mung bean sprouts. They were delicious as well. I use the jar/screen type, but often wondered about how the trays worked. Thanks!
Thank you for all you share. I used to grow sprouts and then got out of the habit. After watching your presentation, Yum… I am going to look for my sprouting equipment right now and get sprouting!! Thank you.
Thanks for another great show. I bought two of these sprouters, they work really good. Started using sprouts for kids breakfast and soups, good insights from your show. Thanks as always for the great work.
This is perfect! I had just pulled out old ball jars and seeds after ten years of them sitting in a cabinet, and set them up on my countertop. I was wanting a better method and some instructions.
just found your channel and I'm loving all your ideas...my husband and I really needed to make some better choices,,, I made the soaked lentil wraps today and they are awesome,,,thanks so much for healthy and easy meal ideas...you've inspired me so much !
if it helps you, i rinse mine once a day. when they are done growing, the roots dont have any smell, but i still rince them again, in a bowl full of water. i store and eat them with the roots still on. if i go 1-2 without rinsing them as theyre sprouting, then the smell gets a little bit weird. its very important to rinse them IMO
Growing sprouts & microgreens is a excellent idea Jill and it was good to make a awesome video encouraging your viewers/subscribers to grow their own sprouts & microgreens. Love 🥰 the video and love 💕 Jill.
I have been considering growing sprouts but didn't really know where to start. Thank you for this information; I will keep this video for future reference.
I bought these sprouting trays. Expensive, but well worth it, they clean up well, and very sturdy I use 1 TBS - 2 TBS of broccoli sprouts. No joke, they work great - by day 7 I have a 4+ day supply of greens for my smoothies and sandwiches. I use a sharp edged pastry scraper to cut the roots off the bottom before removing them to put in fridge.
Try mashed avocado toast with Sprouts. That’s the avocado and then mix in your favorite spices. I like curry black pepper and dulse flakes. It’s yummy. 😋
When I struggled thinking what local in-season foods to eat, I thought of sprouts and microgreens as well. If I grow them myself, they're organic, local, in-season and with love. As much as I love bananas, pineapples, mangos and coconut water, they may not be good for me in snowy winter. Carbon foot print is another consideration. We really need to rethink what we consume on a day-to-day basis. Jill thank you for your thoughtful video.
I've been wanting to learn to sprout but didn't know anything about it and was unsure I could do it. Your video got me energized, and I can't wait to try it! Thank you so much! 🥰
Sprouting them in the dark is good if you wanna boost diamine oxidase production, which can help fight histamine reactions like we see in Mast Cell Activation Syndrome as well as in people with excessive allergic responses to many foods. These look like a great method to do that for a continuous prodction of them in the spring when Mast activation is at it's worst.. Thanks for sharing these cool things.
So glad I found your video. I’ve been buying sprouts in the grocery store and yes I hate the smell. I thought it was mildew I was smelling. Can’t wait to make my own! Thank you for making this video!!
When I tried broccoli sprouts in jars, I really didn't like their taste at all. But I like the broccoli microgreens. From your video, I just realized that the difference must be that with microgreens, we don't eat the roots. So your method appears to be the perfect solution. We have the simplicity of the sprouts without the bitter taste of the roots. Thanks!
I use the mason jar method, but this looks even more convenient. I like Todd's seeds broccoli and friends mix. This inspires me to try other mixes as well. I hope your demo gets more people into sprouting! It is so rewarding especially in these winter months to grow and eat these precious little greens!
A couple days ago I was thinking that I needed to start growing sprouts again once I get moved and have the space for it. With this new method, I can use my mason jars for something else, like overnight oats or pudding. I use pureed bananas and whatever flavor I want to make it. This doesn't take up as much space as the mason jars I have been using. I'll have to wait until I move to order anything. I can imagine my plant based homemade chili served over wild rice with sprouts to top it off. YUM YUM!!Thank you for sharing this. :)
Just wanted you to know I went though you site and ordered the trays, Dan’s book, and some seeds. I hope they give you some kind of kick back. This was all on Amazon’s. Prime.
Thanks for talking about the mildew odor that is usually found in bagged vegetables. I never knew what that was from, but I agree with you, my brain tells me that this is not to be eaten. I stopped buying organic bagged baby carrots because of it, regardless of the convenience. I had to stop buying all bagged vegetables for that very reason. Especially thank you for this video on the sprouts. I tried various methods to grow them and always ended up with moldy sprouts no matter what. I'm looking forward to getting those trays. I'm excited to get my young grandsons into it too. They will love eating all the different types of sprouts!
The mustard broccoli sprouts combo enhances the sulphurophane content . some study cited by Ronda Patrick found mustard seed boosted benzene levels in urine by factor of 4. That is really good news for folks who smoke or are in high pollution areas Thanks for show!
Thank you so much...I've learned something new today.GOD bless you sister🤗I bought alfalfa and red beets seeds from the grocery the other day..i love your idea of using stainless pan with strainer versus jars..thank God i have one in my baking materials🤗Im going to try sprouting today.
Jill, I notice you did not attempt to do a final ‘wash’ attempting to get rid of the sprout ‘shells’. Do you feel it is not needed? Do you think the taste is affected either way? With broccoli sprouts dipping them in a large bowl water and separating them out, some of the shells float up and some drop to the bottom and using a small mesh strainer I can get rid of some of the shells, many more shells remain and then too some of the sprouts get ‘sacrificed’ to the waste bin in the process. Would appreciate your input! And so appreciative of this video.
I’m not that bothered by the remaining husks. I have tried soaking them in a large bowl and letting the husks float to the top so that they can be scooped out. Then I ran the sprouts through my salad spinner. It worked pretty well but was pretty messy
Great videos and content as always, thank you. One thing I would like to check, when I have done sprouted broccoli in the past, using those sprouting jars, it's a nightmare with all the seed shells, is it important to remove those?
You don’t have to but I put mine in a salad spinner, fill it with water, gently spin and the seeds kind of separate and float to the top or sink to the bottom. Then I pour out the seed filled water and spin the sprouts to remove the rest of the moisture
You should know that the little fuzzy parts of the sprouts are totally normal. They’re micro “hairs” meant to help draw moisture into the sprout, and it’s not mold. That said, you should let your nose tell you if your sprouts have gone moldy. Any kind of sour smell is not normal and means that they’re probably not safe to eat.
Good to learn the difference between sprouts and micro greens. I'm going to see if I can find those sprouting containers here in Canada because now I'm intrigued. Thank you!
I love the glass method for broccoli, clover and lentils/mungbeans, the roots stay nice and small, but for tiny and/or slimy seeds the jars are useless. I watched this video when it came out, but this time I stopped it and lo and behold, I can get stainless steel trays where I live and now I will and I am so looking forward to my first tray of basil sprouts!
Thank you for the presentation about sprouting. I watched quite a few different recipes on your site and I looked them! I would like to start sprouting my own seeds. Is there a site from where to order those enamel dishes please? Thank you for help. Waiting to hear from you.
Thank you for sharing. I've been sprouting lentils and mung beans on my counter. I've wanted to try broccoli and others. But couldn't find the seeds. Now I can.
Good morning Jill, I thought you’d like to know I bet I’ve made over 20 pans of sprouts since watching your videos. They are so good to eat. The only downside I found is cleaning all the roots. But I’m even getting better at that too. Btw, my wife wants a good vegan cinnamon roll recipe, I’ll look to see if you have one. Thanks. John
Fantastic! Too funny that you requested a cinnamon roll recipe. I jus pulled a cinnamon roll recipe experiment out of the oven. I think I may have just succeeded 😊 You’ll see it on the show in the next few weeks 👍
I was so excited to watch this video today! I just grew some sprouts and harvested them this morning. I use the glass jar method. Where did you get the jar holder and the stainless steel sprouting containers? I really like how you can use those containers for sprouts and micro greens and grow them without soil!
I love this. I can do broccoli sprouts well, but I have failed with mung bean sprouts. I use the upside down jar method. I would like try your method with these stainless steel trays. I am buying the recommended book now. Thanks so much! Can you do more about sprouting in the future?
I usually eat the sprouts by the handfuls as is….before I eat anything else. To get the nutrients into the gut on an empty stomach. But they do taste great in any sandwich, wrap, soups, salads, etc…
I had to come back and watch this again. I might have said, I've wanted to try growing sprouts and microgreens. My attempts have always been fruitless. This method you are showing us, might work for me. You said 3 days for the sprouts and 4 days for the microgreens, to get that kind of growth. I mean, what could be easier!?? I don't have a window to set those in front of. I'd have to get a grow light or something. Thank you so much for showing us this method.
I have a question, I am starting to sprout and my organic 3 bean mix I have , has lentils and green peas. Is it possible to use my split peas and lentils I already have in my pantry and sprout them also. Or are the sprouting seeds different?
Could you please share the advantages between growing sprouts vs microgreens? Health/nutrition wise, especially!? Also, after reading and/or viewing several directions on growing microgreens I’ve never seen them not grown in soil! To which I figured that was the main difference between the two, is how they get from seed to harvest. That’s what drew my interest toward microgreens, as I’ve tried many times several years back growing sprouts using then jar method and every attempt ended up in moldy seeds. Appreciate any info that you could share! Thank You!
Sprouts are ready to eat within a few days. Microgreens take much longer to grow. Honestly for me, microgreens are a bit of a hassle. Dealing with the trays of dirt in the kitchen area is a bit of a mess and adds extra expense.
Luv the SS containers. Have been looking for something safer than those SS mesh liner which has a warning label "... sharp edges may cut hands..." Looking at my cut and burned fingers after a cooking session, I'm definitely using these pans. I can probably use then as flour sifter too 😊
Thanks for this video! I have been using mason jars and plastic containers with paper towels and its just not working for the amount I sprout. I was about to purchase a bigger plastic tray but I much prefer these steel ones.
I loosely fold a paper towel and place it in my fresh spinach container. One day later, the paper towel is damp, so I change it. This keeps the spinach fresher longer. Would this also work to preserve the sprounts in the tupperware container?
What a wonderful show. I sprouted mung beans so very long ago. Even a brown thumb gardener like me could easily sprout them. Please tell me where did you get those stainless steel stacking dishes. They are part of the Indian pressure cooker. Mine probably were taken & not returned. The sieve is also Indian style. I need them badly. Thank you.
This is great! I had no idea those stainless steel containers were available for sprouting! I have those mason jars with the screen lids so far and you can only do a little at a time I find… I am willing to try out those trays… 😊
This is so weird. This morning, I was thinking about starting sprouting and microgreening. Mainly because I live in a rural area far from a decent greengrocer. I buy fruit and veg weekly, but I have to be careful to choose which ones will last. I recently had to throw 2 heads of broccoli which hadn’t lasted more than a couple of days. Growing or sprouting will enable me to have fresh veg every day. Thank you for your very timely video.
It’s meant to be. This is a sign that you must begin your business.
RUclips is reading your thoughts to keep you on the app ..........
Me, too. 40 miles from the nearest Walmart and another small grocery store! I'm going to start this right away. I love salads, but only cabbage and baby spinach last very long. Sprouts will be a great addition. Thank you so much. Can't wait to hear more recipes using sprouts.
Where can i buy your stainless steel stacked steamer? Thank you!
😅😅
i love broccoli sprouts
I recently have a abnormal lab test and had to go for a cancer screening biopsy. I saw a Dr Berg video saying broccoli sprouts and great 👍 anti cancer food so I want to try and eating more of this wonderful food. Thanks for the tutorial. Now I know it's easy to do

Those sprouting screens are HEAPS better than the sprouting trays I have!! I want!!
I found the spouter!! Yay!!

Thank you.
what are ocean minerals? Is that just sea salt?
thank you i love both of your suggestions
Nice to hear I'm not the only one who eats soups and stews for dinner. I make a batch n a crock pot and have leftovers for another 3 nights or 4 nights. Any leftover I freeze in individual-size servings. So convenient, during the weekdays especially.
I love sprouting. Specially mung beans. They’re delicious and super easy to sprout. You have to try if you haven’t already 😊
I added lentils to the mung.
how do you eat mung sprouts?
@@zissler1 I eat them raw, add them to salads, add to smoothies, add to breakfast eggs along with other greens, add to anything else I eat,
I love fresh sprouts. I also sprout my legumes before cooking them usually overnight is enough to germinate legumes, especially lentils.
Excellent, Chef. Excellent. Sunflower sprouts on a sandwich with avocado is really good too. Great video!!!
Thank you for posting this video. It's nice to see first hand the sprouting tray in use. Looks like you found a real winner! Happy healthy life!
I've been eating peanut butter and banana sandwichs my whole life but we slice the bananas about 1/4" thick and putthem on top of the peanut buttered bread. It's a whole lot easier to eat that way. I love the idea of the sprouts. I'm going to try it on my next sandwich.
I have been sprouting for years and years and I have found a variety of free trays that work great.
What are some of the free and effective sources?
Yes, would love to have alternative. The stainless steel are $60.00 each
This is great! I started sprouting alfalfa sprouts in the 80s and recently decided to up my game a bit with mung bean sprouts. They were delicious as well. I use the jar/screen type, but often wondered about how the trays worked. Thanks!

I bought my sprout setup today! Thank you for the tutorial. I am starting with broccoli and buckwheat sprouts. Hoping they all do well. Great channel!
I had no luck with buckwheat, mung beans, lentils, broccoli, radish, alfalfa, red clover, sunflower, canola do great.
This is perfect! I had just pulled out old ball jars and seeds after ten years of them sitting in a cabinet, and set them up on my countertop. I was wanting a better method and some instructions.
just found your channel and I'm loving all your ideas...my husband and I really needed to make some better choices,,, I made the soaked lentil wraps today and they are awesome,,,thanks so much for healthy and easy meal ideas...you've inspired me so much !
Quite simply outstanding

Growing sprouts & microgreens is a excellent idea Jill and it was good to make a awesome video encouraging your viewers/subscribers to grow their own sprouts & microgreens. Love 🥰 the video and love 💕 Jill.
Thank you so much for this educational utube on growing sprouts....now I know what to do.
Thank you Jill for doing this video! I love your sprouting set too.
I have been considering growing sprouts but didn't really know where to start. Thank you for this information; I will keep this video for future reference.

I love sprouts! and you are right, the mung beans grow well in the dark.
I have been making sprouts a lot lately. I just started some again yesterday. Great minds think alike. Thanks Jill. 🥰🤤
Researching a lot with sprout and how to grow them thanks for more info.

👏👏👏👏👍❤️
Anyone tried to sprout beet seeds? Beets have so much good nutrition.
The mustard broccoli sprouts combo enhances the sulphurophane content . some study cited by Ronda Patrick found mustard seed boosted benzene levels in urine by factor of 4.
That is really good news for folks who smoke or are in high pollution areas
Thanks for show!
Mmmmm...that banana sprout burrito looks very yummy. Can I get one to go...😊
Sprouts are the real superfood. Incredible for skin tone, hair and muscle recovery from workouts.
Thank you so much...I've learned something new today.GOD bless you sister🤗I bought alfalfa and red beets seeds from the grocery the other day..i love your idea of using stainless pan with strainer versus jars..thank God i have one in my baking materials🤗Im going to try sprouting today.

You don’t have to but I put mine in a salad spinner, fill it with water, gently spin and the seeds kind of separate and float to the top or sink to the bottom. Then I pour out the seed filled water and spin the sprouts to remove the rest of the moisture
Thanks for ur video. Gr8 info. Have never used the stainless sprouters.
You should know that the little fuzzy parts of the sprouts are totally normal. They’re micro “hairs” meant to help draw moisture into the sprout, and it’s not mold. That said, you should let your nose tell you if your sprouts have gone moldy. Any kind of sour smell is not normal and means that they’re probably not safe to eat.
I love you !!!!!best wishes thanking you for posting
I’m going to try this!
Good to learn the difference between sprouts and micro greens. I'm going to see if I can find those sprouting containers here in Canada because now I'm intrigued. Thank you!
Where i can bay the containers for the sprouts beans. Thank you.
.
for people living in small apartments would be very useful if vertical wall herb garden setups and sprouting setups were available
i put broccoli sprouts in my smoothie. i separately do the sprouts with water so they form sulforaphane and add them to my green smoothie.
I love the glass method for broccoli, clover and lentils/mungbeans, the roots stay nice and small, but for tiny and/or slimy seeds the jars are useless. I watched this video when it came out, but this time I stopped it and lo and behold, I can get stainless steel trays where I live and now I will and I am so looking forward to my first tray of basil sprouts!
Love your style!!❤😊
Thank you for the presentation about sprouting. I watched quite a few different recipes on your site and I looked them! I would like to start sprouting my own seeds. Is there a site from where to order those enamel dishes please? Thank you for help. Waiting to hear from you.

I learned at lot! I needed someone to show me about broccoli sprouts.
I love this!
Are there square versions of the sprouting trays? Circles don't really fit anywhere.
Fantastic video! I usually sprout green buckwheat and wheat. Love sprouts!
Thank you for sharing. I've been sprouting lentils and mung beans on my counter. I've wanted to try broccoli and others. But couldn't find the seeds. Now I can.
Good morning Jill,
I thought you’d like to know I bet I’ve made over 20 pans of sprouts since watching your videos. They are so good to eat. The only downside I found is cleaning all the roots. But I’m even getting better at that too. Btw, my wife wants a good vegan cinnamon roll recipe, I’ll look to see if you have one. Thanks. John
Fantastic!
Too funny that you requested a cinnamon roll recipe. I jus pulled a cinnamon roll recipe experiment out of the oven. I think I may have just succeeded 😊
You’ll see it on the show in the next few weeks 👍
I was so excited to watch this video today! I just grew some sprouts and harvested them this morning. I use the glass jar method. Where did you get the jar holder and the stainless steel sprouting containers? I really like how you can use those containers for sprouts and micro greens and grow them without soil!

I decided to put a coffee filter down first so the seeds stay moist and the roots don’t grow through the mesh making easy to harvest the spouts
I'm not following on the tiers. What is the middle one for? Are you sprouting two trays at the same time?
Yes
Thanks for the lesson! I would like to try this.
I like these trays! At first glance, they look like communion trays😃
I ordered the whole kit & book. EXCITED to receive it, thanks!
is there a difference between sprout greens and microgreens?
Yes
I love this. I can do broccoli sprouts well, but I have failed with mung bean sprouts. I use the upside down jar method. I would like try your method with these stainless steel trays. I am buying the recommended book now. Thanks so much! Can you do more about sprouting in the future?
I usually eat the sprouts by the handfuls as is….before I eat anything else. To get the nutrients into the gut on an empty stomach.
But they do taste great in any sandwich, wrap, soups, salads, etc…
I had to come back and watch this again. I might have said, I've wanted to try growing sprouts and microgreens. My attempts have always been fruitless. This method you are showing us, might work for me. You said 3 days for the sprouts and 4 days for the microgreens, to get that kind of growth. I mean, what could be easier!?? I don't have a window to set those in front of. I'd have to get a grow light or something. Thank you so much for showing us this method.
The microgreens take longer than 4 days. Depending on the type of seed. They usually take over a week
I have a question, I am starting to sprout and my organic 3 bean mix I have , has lentils and green peas. Is it possible to use my split peas and lentils I already have in my pantry and sprout them also. Or are the sprouting seeds different?
Sprouting seeds are different because they are carefully selected for their high percentage germination rate.
Could you please share the advantages between growing sprouts vs microgreens? Health/nutrition wise, especially!? Also, after reading and/or viewing several directions on growing microgreens I’ve never seen them not grown in soil! To which I figured that was the main difference between the two, is how they get from seed to harvest. That’s what drew my interest toward microgreens, as I’ve tried many times several years back growing sprouts using then jar method and every attempt ended up in moldy seeds.
Appreciate any info that you could share!
Thank You!
Sprouts are ready to eat within a few days. Microgreens take much longer to grow. Honestly for me, microgreens are a bit of a hassle. Dealing with the trays of dirt in the kitchen area is a bit of a mess and adds extra expense.
Hi
Where did you purchase your sprout containers and sprouts.
Thk u
Link to the recipe instructions and where to purchase are in the description 👍
Luv the SS containers. Have been looking for something safer than those SS mesh liner which has a warning label "... sharp edges may cut hands..." Looking at my cut and burned fingers after a cooking session, I'm definitely using these pans. I can probably use then as flour sifter too 😊
Thanks for this video! I have been using mason jars and plastic containers with paper towels and its just not working for the amount I sprout. I was about to purchase a bigger plastic tray but I much prefer these steel ones.
I loosely fold a paper towel and place it in my fresh spinach container. One day later, the paper towel is damp, so I change it. This keeps the spinach fresher longer. Would this also work to preserve the sprounts in the tupperware container?
What a wonderful show. I sprouted mung beans so very long ago. Even a brown thumb gardener like me could easily sprout them. Please tell me where did you get those stainless steel stacking dishes. They are part of the Indian pressure cooker. Mine probably were taken & not returned. The sieve is also Indian style. I need them badly. Thank you.

@@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow Thank you. ❤
This is great! I had no idea those stainless steel containers were available for sprouting!
I have those mason jars with the screen lids so far and you can only do a little at a time I find… I am willing to try out those trays… 😊
Thank you sooooo very much for this video 🙏🏻 I feel a lot more confident now to make my own sprouts 🙏🏻 you are amazing 😍
Excellent! I must now go running off to the dollar store to find some trays to use instead of my jars!
For how many days approximately do you keep the lid on? My sprouts are on day 4, but I don't see green leaves yet.
I keep the lid on for 2 days. The leaves won’t be green yet. The shot in the video was after 2 days with no lid. Sorry if that was confusing
This was extremely helpful. Thank you so much.
excellent video! thank you!
