    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.

    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

    • @Hertz2laugh

      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.

  • @fracritel
    @fracritel Год назад +30

    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.

I use a sharp edged pastry scraper to cut the roots off the bottom before removing them to put in fridge.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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. :)

    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!

    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.

    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 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?

      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.

    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… 😊

    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.

    • @wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow
      @wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow  Год назад +2

      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
