Hi Jeff, thanks for a great video! My question is in regards to freezing the sprouts; Once the sprouting process is completed, do you recommend to automatically freeze to maintain bioavailability, even if the plan is to consume some the next day, or perhaps daily?
Hey Jeff, can you explain where you heard that the sulfurofane decreases after 5 days? and you said 10 days if frozen? id be interested to confirm if that's actually true
@@DigitalChef1970 Love this demonstration of the total process. The thumbs down people may have an issue with the music being loud, making it a distraction on your well executed instructions. Or perhaps they're jealous of all the counter space in your kitchen, not to mention the huge well organized pantry. Oh yeah the windows in front of the sink. Great kitchen for great food.!!!😁 THANKS🌿
Hi, i am healed too, 6 years ago. Wild plants are helpful too. But the most important thing is selflove and forgivness. Anita Moorjanis Nde/ book and the connection to god. God sent me First time in my life this amazing love and her book. Because i prayed for help...❤
Thank you for a great video! I have one suggestion, which is to pour off all that rinse water into a bucket to use for watering houseplants or in the garden - especially if you live in a dry climate.
Actually I like to save that water for postage stamps and for smoothing out my eyebrows wow you know I don't think I'll ever grow out of this what makes me such an ass I do not know
I was thinking the exact same thing! It kinda horrifies me to see how much water is being wasted needlessly. But then, I come from CA, where we have been experiencing drought conditions for so long that water waste freaks me out.
I’ve been growing broccoli sprouts for many years. I recommend rinsing them as often as possible throughout the day to prevent them from spoiling - something that can happen very easily and quickly. I keep mine right next to the kitchen sink so it’s easy to just rinse each time I am there (about five times a day is good). I harvest mine (the final rinse in a bowl of water) by agitating them back and forth vigorously with a fork so that the seed hulls accumulate around the edge of the bowl, then scoop the sprouts out from the middle. Do NOT eat the seed hulls. I find they harbor bacteria, and I am guessing that they also contain a lot of lectins.
Yup, same! Final rinse is is a big bowl to get all the hulls out as much as I can. I also sprout them with some mustard seeds mixed in, to potentiate the effect (a bit like adding black pepper - peperine - to turmeric). 🤔🤗 🌱
Jeff, your tutorial was so thorough and complete that I don't need to watch any other tutorials. On top of that, your personality is so lovely to watch and you explain everything so well. I enjoyed it so much, thank you!
no mayo - it kills and binds and blocks nutrient uptake as ALL dairy based products do - sorry - but everything we learned in school was a lie - (3 meals a day, forced dairy, job and slave work prep ect . . . )
@@hubsun700 you can also buy DIM. It’s kind of like broccoli sprouts in a capsule! I was diagnosed with aggressive lobular cost Sonoma with estrogen and progesterone positive. Let me tell you, I took Dim every day for almost a year and my estrogen plummeted! Now I am trying to build it up just a little bit. So I’m here to say that Dim works!!
That's so kind of you, thank you very much. You inspired me to make more videos! by the way I also started a podcast channel called jeffmara podcast. I would appreciate it if you checked it out!
Wow ! I truly love this video , simple and direct to the point with no frills unlike the others . Also , i have to commend you for having such a tidy up kitchen . You inspires me to tidy up my kitchen as well just like Leslie Ames said . I read theres more nutrients on the 3 day old sprouts per Dr Li . Thank you ! Please do more healthy food videos like this . Have a blessed day !🇺🇸🎆❤️🙏
I’m going to try to do a teaspoon a day of seeds in a pint jar and just be able to have fresh sprouts every day. Thank you for the video. It was very helpful for a new sprouter .
OMG! You should get a RUclips Video of Excellence award! I was very unsure on how to sprout seeds, but now after watching your video I have faith I can do this. I liked the variety of background music that you played in your video. I also enjoyed watching your clear and understandable day-by-day instructions. You have great pedagogy skills! Thank You so much.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for the nice compliment! By the way, I also started a podcast youtube channel called jeffmara podcast. I would appreciate it if you checked it out!
My sprouts came out soggy I followed your directions. I use all the same stuff you use the seeds the jars and bowls and still maybe did I put too much seeds?
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching! By the way, I also started a podcast youtube called jeffmara podcast. I would appreciate it if you checked it out!
I couldn't find any data suggesting there was an issue with consuming sprouts with dairy, as a matter of fact in a few of the clinical studies people were given sprouts with dairy products to eat while conducting studies on sulforaphane
@@hashtronomy The easiest to find article are most likely tea and milk and blueberries and milk (or casein) My guess is that because pairing milk protein is disadventageous for other plants, then one can assume the same is true for sprouts... but then, I'm no expert (and I would think that some fat would help with absorbtion, as it does with other greens/vegetables.)
@@alidawt Yes~ I was thinking the same thing re; fats. We have been given so much misinformation over the years on fat, to the extent that many of us now in our 50's & 60's are suffering as a result of eating super low fat for so many decades. Seems folks are having good results w/MCT oil & greens, including broccoli sprouts
Plus Dairy is mucus forming and promotes igf-1 increasing cancer risk. Best to consume brocolli sprouts with mustard if it is not cut up and left to sit for half an hour before consumption to increase sulfurophane.
Broccoli sprouts are very good for gastritis, ulcer, etc. I make cabbage broth (simmer cabbage and drink the broth) and eating broccoli sprouts have helped me greatly!
This appeared in my feed after watching a Dr. Berg video on broccoli sprouts and their health benifits. Thank you SO much for your step-by-step video and tips! Gonna give sprouting a go.👍
I wouldn't worry about the seeds, you can eat them for extra nutrition, they are soft after sprouting!! Very thankful for this video! I ate my broccoli sprouts with some chicken, raisins and a healthy Italian Dressing. It was the best thing I've eaten in years. Kids say the same thing. It's our new every day lunch.
@@juncakarina7690 I encourage you to research why sprouts and microgreens are superior to fully grown plants. In the case of broccoli, there's 40x more nutrients by weight and massively more sulforophane, which is a SUPER phytonutrient.
@@juncakarina7690the sulforaphane is 90% present in brócoli 🥦 sprouts only at the day number 5 of sprouting process. That is the only chance to get that powerful element for our body
I’ve grown several batches using this method. Superb instructions and super tasty. I tried freezing, however, they are only really good for smoothies. I prefer to make a batch and then eat it theough the week while the other batch is going. Usually start sun/mon and by sat they are ready. Store In a snap lock glass container with some paper towel and they are awesome right to the end of the week. I might change the paper towel if it gets too damp. So much better than store bought and brain dead simple following this process. Thanks so much man 🙏
Yeah freezing was an interesting idea, never heard of this but I admit it sounded like they'd come out weird. I don't make smoothies enough for it to be worth it I like to eat my sprouts fresh in sandwiches & salads. I'd much rather make a smaller batch, more often. It's just me anyway, you could really always have a small batch going.
I wouldn't even think about throwing these in a shake. Their going right into a bowl along w/ some arugula, radish, a little kimchi perhaps. A few sprouted punkin seeds.Down with the salads. b.t.w you have a kick ass kitchen dude!
I love your thorough instructions! The tips on keeping the sprouts in the dark, washing/rinsing in filtered water, and finally freezing them were excellent! You hit a home run with this video! You've made me a sprouting aficionado! :)
hello, i know it’s a late reply but i have a question - does filtered water make that much of a difference? i use normal tap water, is this considerably worse than filtered? thanks
Amazon sells sprouting seed Mason jars with stainless screen Lids, a wire stand that tilts the jar for drainage and a small tray underneath to catch excess water. I have been buying Todd's seeds and have no complaints.The jar kit is less than 20 dollars.
I kept my jars in the kitchen with natural light and they did just fine. I put too many seeds in each jar, so will use less next time. I did not need to spend money on mason jars, as I had a collection of used beetroot jars! Although they had metal tops/lids, I pierced lots of small holes in the lids, which enables me to drain out the water and not lose the seeds! Result, nice green and crunchy sprouts! I froze some as well 👌 Going to start some more today 😊
TIP! It was less expensive for me to order directly from the company - even with shipping costs- than to order from Amazon. (I also ordered radish sprout-seeds) Will be my first try 🤞
Your video is informative, entertaining and the choice of BGM is plain soothing. Can’t believe I enjoyed watching a grown man grow sprouts in a jar while learning to do so myself. Thank you.
Thanks for the excellent video! While I do sprout, I always like to see how others do things. I find it very easy for the final rinse, to put them in a salad spinner! Lots of the seeds will spin out. I do it several times, and it makes very short work and it’s fun too.😊
I have watched several videos on how sprout with mason jars. However this video explained everything much clearer. Thank you for doing a thorough job. I learned a lot.
RIght? There is a narcissist in the comments complaining of video length.....how about gratitude? Yes, good model. Very kind, gentle, humble seeming soul..who loves his wife and is proud to be marriage and in love
Hey hey, thank you so much for taking the time to show us how to sprout in a mason jar! My first attempt before watching you I thought I did it wrong and threw out the whole batch ugh!! Then the bag of seed just sat in my pantry waiting for me to watch this! Yay!! Now I can do it!!
Jeff, because of you I ordered my lids and sprouts. I'll start my first batch when they arrive. You made a fantastic video of all the steps with visual progression of the sprouting process. Cute dog!!! My daughter and I absolutely love your kitchen. Thanks for the vid!
@@DigitalChef1970 It's been working great! We eat the sprouts on a daily basis no matter what the food we consume. I was a little overwhelmed at first with the seed pods. It was quite a task to get them out of the sprouts. On the 2nd batch I realized there were floaters and sinkers. On day 3 or 4, before dumping the water out of the jar, I'd scoop the floaters off the top of the water with a small strainer. Repeat this for the next couple days. When it was time to harvest the sprouts I put them in a large bowl with water, scooped out the few floaters left, and with the sinkers on the bottom, the floating sprouts were practically seed pod free. Thanks for a fantastic tutorial!
Just a tip for you as creators (not to necessarily be left as a public comment)-maybe check into creating an affiliate link for those lids, and jars and seeds (and whatever else you use), if possible. Not sure when this video blew up but if it’s still getting decent views, it’d be worth it. Then you could use the money earned for something good. Best to you. I’m excited to try this and enjoy the health benefits.
This was by far the best video I watched on growing broccoli sprouts! I actually really liked how you showed each day progressively, it gives people a great idea of what to look for. Thank you!
Great video Jeff. One way to bring on sprouting more rapidly is to mix the water with 1% Hydrogen Peroxide. This breaks any dormancy. Store in darkened airing cupboard too if conditions are cool which will promote even faster growth. That alone may save at least 1 day. This used to be the technique by seed breeders to promote more rapid establishment of seeds. Just needs using for the first couple of days.
Thank you for your video, for teaching us how to grow sprouts and specially the tip about how the dairy ruins the nutrient absorption of antioxidants! Incredible info! I myself prefer oat milk! By the way, doggos actually do great with most veggies! Our pup who lived 18 years (Yorkshire mix) loved boiled sweet potatoes, blueberries, banana (I know!), boiled carrots, raw cabbage, cooked oatmeal, cooked rice or baby rice meal, green apples cut in small pieces (have to peel the green apple first though). Peeled apples cut in small pieces also happen to be great natural dental cleaners for doggos. He also loved peanut butter! He was a really healthy pup for 18 years until his passing a month ago. He taught us so much and we hope his life continues to teach others! He ate a bit of tuna or mackerel or sardine with his dinner or salmon with his dinner with boiled white or brown rice and homemade veggie broth.
I also made all of our Jack Russel/Corgi's dog food from scratch and feed him all of the things, except peanut butter that you fed your doggie from about age 14, until he passed at age 20! When he was about 14, he was chewing on his paws biting his skin, losing his hair. I asked my hubby to take him to the Vet and see what was wrong with him. The Vet said, "Oh, he's just nervous." I told my hubby, "That's nonsense. He's well loved and spoiled!" I did my own research, and discovered most canned or store bought dog food was junk and began to make his food from scratch, much like what you fed your dog. Additionally, I found some fabulous doggie vitamins called Dinovite: purchased online. Within about 2 weeks of his "new" diet regimen, plus the Dinovite he stopped biting/chewing himself, his hair stopped falling out and he was supper healthy until his death at age 20! Healthy diet, healthy lifestyle is a winner for all animals AND HUMANS!!!
Love how you loved your woo wo...no amount of time will change your memories of that...they just become more poignant. Sad your sad, perhsps write a short story or a blog about how to spoiled you fur one. Lucky dog was loved muchly indeed.
What a great video I wanted to know how to do this and you have certainly simplified it for me. You not only did that, you showed us your breathtakingly beautiful home. Wow what a beautiful home you have anyway thank you so much I’m going to be doing this as soon as I send out for my broccoli seeds
great instruction! ready to try sprouting :) .... re-usable plastic bags (or tupperware) is also a great option instead of plastic for storing. they are more sturdy and tend not to get lost in the fridge as easily
Thanks so much for all the good info. My first ever batch of seeds is ready to be cleaned and eaten. I'm so glad I watched till the end to hear you say that after 5 days the sulforaphane starts to decrease. I've never eaten broccoli sprouts until now. They are awesome. They have a little bite like a raddish. Is that the norm? And mine did not get as green as yours. Any idea why?
I mix fresh vegetables with lamb heart or salmon fish and kibbles and my dogs love it. One reason they die of kidney disease is the processed unhealthy kibbles and meat/high protein diet. Vegetables are necessary for them as much as for us.
I used mason jar and sink mesh drain, it’s much cheaper since I can’t find the mesh lid. It works ! Just add elastic band to secure the mesh drain and the bottom of the jar
This was so helpful! Thank you! I received a sprouting system along with packets of seeds for Christmas and had no idea what to do with them. As a visual learner, I am grateful for your clean, to the point video. Thanks again.
just learning that Casein counters the effects of sulforaphane already made this video five stars. thanks for taking the time and the extra tidbits of knowledge.
Dairy is horrible for health in general anyway. We are the only species to drink another species’ milk, and people shouldn’t be consuming milk past being weaned.
@@AlexiHolford I'm down to the point where I can only drink either Almond or Coconut Milk. Regular dairy and even Soy does not sit well with me at all. Regardless, it's really good to know about Casein.
@@DigitalChef1970 I saw a talk by Dr Gregor (I believe) stating that freezing neutralizes and eliminates sulforaphane in broccoli, and I assumed sprouts also. Do you know of research showing that's untrue? I'm ready to make some sprouts but it would disappoint me to put in the work and then kill off the benefits by freezing. Thanks!
Thanks so much for sharing this video! Just getting started sprouting and this was really helpful. My day 3 are not as far along as yours but I will try some of your tips. I did not spread the seeds around the jar. Looking forward to my sprouts in a few days!
Thank you very much. I wish the same for everyone! by the way, I also started a podcast youtube called jeffmara podcast. I would appreciate it if you checked it out!
Jeff, Thank you for offering your amazing learning facilitating style so we can take personal responsibility to become healthier. Your video is the most succinct yet comprehensive one on sprouting that I've ever seen, right down to where to buy the handy sprouting jar lids. I've subscribed and look forward to learning more from you. Happy and healthy 2023!
This is the most thorough and informative video I have ever seen! I bought myself some seeds and screens and will try my hand at these agin! Thank you! From your new subscriber, LA ❤
I also switched from the plastic exactly like yours to jars. But when they're outside growing in the shade they are so green it's unreal the shade of green is DEEPER💚
Hey Jeff I've been enjoying growing broccoli Sprouts on a two-day rotation since watching this video months ago. The Mason jar method is working great for me and we got some stainless steel screens embedded in the lids that have little legs so it's held up out of the drip water.
@@skittles2055 It is super handy; when the seeds are tiny, I tip the jar on an angle so the seeds stay damp. Once they start to sprout, I turn it fully upside down and the water can drain out completely.
Thank you. This is great, I started Vegan, no sugar, no chees, no wireless devices as testosterone therapy and this is amazing. I lost like all my weight but now my muscles never need recooperation time and also are much stronger. This food is great plus doesn't feed the bad bacteria and all artery clogging cholesterol only comes from animal fats. I really didn't care so much to worry about animals, but now I can tell I have no stress from eating creatures who have endured stress now that I quit animal products.
This is the best tutorial I've found! Thanks for adding all the details like keeping them in the dark for the first several days and not consuming with dairy. Great video. Love the skeletons and the dog 😂
I actually thought they were even easier to grow than this. I guess I'll find out this week. My favorite uses for Broccoli or Alfalfa Sprouts: 1) Mesclun salad w/ sprouts, baby carrots, croutons and balsamic vinaigrette. When I need a fast, healthy dinner that requires no chopping, this is a lifesaver. It's really tasty! 2) Avocado toast on Ezekiel bread w/ 1 over medium egg, a little sriracha, herbamare & a handful of sprouts. 3) Open-faced California Melt: Ezekiel bread, avocado, aged cheddar, tomato, red onion, broiled then topped with sprouts. A few dashes on herbamare. Great lunch. 4) On a veggie burger! I know you said dairy interferes with absorption (did not know that) but these are just some ways I find tasty to use them up before they go bad. Apparently dogs love them too! Not yours of course :)
Treat the sprouting seeds as gently as you can or you risk damaging the sprouts and the green sprouts parts break of. Not to much water pressure or jar shaking.
Thx so much for this video. One thing tho, dogs get a great deal of benefits from eating greens and veggies. Of course they need also to have meat and other protein but I bet if you shared the sprouts with your dog it would be getting the wonderful benefits from them as well. My pooch has cancer and I will be making these for her also.... ❤
Most excellent tutorial!!! Thank you for showing us how they look every day, and then going through the rinsing cycle and talking about freezing them. I appreciate this video! My seeds are currently in the pantry...day zero! :)
@@DigitalChef1970 Harvested this morning and it was awesome!!! Already started the next batch, too! Thanks again for showing us every step along the way. It made a huge difference because we knew what to expect on a day-to-day basis. Really appreciate the effort you put into your video!
@@DigitalChef1970 So we're on our third batch now, and I'm wondering if you've heard of anyone kind of feeling icky from detoxing? I don't mind it, if that means it's working! But I'm wondering if this has happened to anyone else?
@@susanmacaluso5218 Yes, years ago, when I was studying IRIDOLOGY, (a non-invasive way to see what is going on inside ur body, u can google it. Dr. Bernard Jensen's son & son's wife have continued his work into the electronic age +more). Dr Jensen told us that after our bodys have had bad health habits stopped, been detoxed and been given nutrients it needs, we will start to feel better. At that point the body is stronger inside and we can expect what he termed "A HEALING CRISIS ". It's normal. It's good and to not stop the things we're doing. (Less sugar, stop alcohol, no coffee, no sodas, no white bread, doing enemas or colonics (which pull stored toxins out of one's tissues or organs where body stored them), weekend (or longer) distilled water fasts, eating sprouts and more greens, fruits, vegetables without additives or chemical sprays. Stopping smoking. Including gentle regular stretching n exercises, deep breaths of fresh air throughout one's day, get some sun daily, drink pure water, keep negative thoughts n people away as much as possible, have happy/positive thoughts, help when able, don't over eat, don't eat past 7pm (on normal schedules) and get adequate sleep. I say, also seek & get to know God & read His Word (Bible). 'We don't live by bread alone' and reading the living, Holy Bible the measure of faith we have is developed. We learn, as we get to know Him, we can trust Him and will have the tools to stay strong during life's challenges. We'll find His commands n commandments are for Our BENEFIT. My husband always said "THE WHITER THE BREAD THE FASTER YOUR DEAD". I agree. One of my favorite inspirational quotes is: IT'S NOT HOW MANY TIMES YOU FAIL; IT'S HOW MANY TIMES YOU TRY AGAIN. Especially during the 'healing crisis', the body is cleansing & healing deeply. Dr Jensen shared some amazing examples of healing crisis. There are probably in some of his books. One was a young adult male & his lung problem. Another was a grade school aged girl who had a tumor on her lower back. The tumor developed tentacles as it grew and it became inoperable. With guidance n doing what she should & should not do, the tumor began to shrink including it's tentacles. It's grip was released and I'm not sure if there was surgery to remove it or if it was absorbed. Here's one. Dr Jensen had an elderly client, a lady in her 80s. After being in his treatment clinic he had in those days,, she was to the point of feeling great. (I don't remember what health issue she was in his clinic for..but do remember her glasses were getting increasingly stronger. Unhappily, she was facing loosing her sight.) She had been in his care for some time. Right after she was telling him how good she was feeling, she went blind. After 3 days of being blind, her sight returned and her body had healed that area so well she no longer required any glasses! Praise the Lord. The body knows what it needs to heal & what to heal first. OUR BODY HEALS FROM THE INSIDE, OUT AND FROM THE HEAD, DOWNWARD... We must be diligent to get to the point of the body responding so dramatically. But it is smart and it wants to be well. But it will stop its full efforts if one starts n stops too much. I believe Dr Jensen was the one I learned that COFFEE DRINKERS OFTEN GET HEADACHES FOR 3 DAYS WHEN THEY BEGIN FASTING.
In general, doing sprouts in jars is great, because theyre wonderfully convenient and easy to use. I use it for mung beans, for sprouting kamut for homemade sprouted grain flour, and for sprouting chickpeas for hummus, and I use it for testing sprouting viability of store bought pulses and seed spices ... but that's about it. Sprouting in jars does have some very distinct drawbacks however, depending on what you're sprouting. First is that all the roots come along for the ride, and roots tend to be a less tender/appetizing than the rest of the plant. Second is you're limited in how much light you can give them (very uneven) and how large/green they can get. Granted some sprouts taste better blond rather than green (ex: mung, corn), but they are the exception to the rule, because microgreens usually taste better than their sprouted counterparts. Speakingxof which, I just did broccoli 2 ways, and the result was a revelation. I did the first by the usual jar sprouting method, and the other I did as microgreens (shallow 10x10 nesting tray with coco coir, 3 days weighted blackout, 2 days covered blackout, and then 5 full days under my grow lights while bottom watered with nutrient solution). Holy Cow, those microgreens were a full order of magnitude more enjoyable to me ... no tough flavorless roots - just tender delicious stems and fabulously vibrant and elegant cotyledens (which look like jumbo clover), with lovely mild flavor, and no trace of tannic bitterness. The greens tasted more like the white inner stalk, whereas the sprouts smelled and tasted closer to broccoli florettes. For me, It was B for sprouts vs an A++ for the microgreens. The roots and coco coir didnt go to waste either ... I'll recycle them via composting. Anyway, sprouts are great, and I love em ... but for some plants, they are just a hint of what they could be with a bit more time and effort.
I had a sprouted Wild Rice salad, one of the tastiest things I've ever eaten. It was asian inspired (sesame, ginger, red pepper, edamamde, bean sprouts? etc). It keeps great in the fridge for easy lunches, I'm planning on trying to sprout some wild rice for the 1st time to try making it. I accidentally sprouted lentil once. I soaked dry lentils but then didn't cook them as I got busy. I just drained them and put them in a clear tupperware in the fridge, next thing I knew I had lentil sprouts. I think people tend to overthink sprouts sometimes. I wound up making a delicious sprouted lentil soup w/ lemon (I know cooking reduces nutrition but I still wanted to make soup as I'd originally intentioned and didn't boil too hard).
@@LadySpace_888 TIP: In my experience, sprouting various grains pulses and legumes (after the usual pre-soak needed to kickstart germination) tends to cut the usual cooktime (for dry unsoaked) by about 1/3 to 1/2 ... thus, dry chickpeas that normally need 60 mins might only need 30-40 to cook fully after sprouting. Anyway, i occasionally make a middle eastern sprouted wheat pilaf, using Kamut, that sounds similar to your rice dish.
@@LadySpace_888 I've made wheat grass, and even grew and harvested a small patch of wheat, but ive yet to sprout rice. If I were to try it, i'd start with UNPOLISHED rice (that hasnt been kilned, irradiated or parcooked to enhance shelf life or cook time), and pre-soak before sprouting - say, 4 hrs for long grain, and 6-8 for short grain, and then drain & sprout in a sprouting jar (rinsing 2x/dy) for 1-2 days until tails emerge to 1/8" or so ... THEN cook via the usual pilaf method. Easy peasey.
These are kind of in between sprouts and microgreens. If you want them (and the Sulforaphane) to last longer in the freezer, dry them well (a dehydrator set a low temp of like 80 to 90 or so , or just a fan blowing on them in a dry, non humid house. In either case, putting them in paper towels and lightly patting them first, will speed up the process), and then vacuum pack them (preferably in a jar so they don't get crushed). This will extend the life to maximum over any process except for freeze drying (which is an expensive, complicated process and most people can't afford the equipment to do this).
Get a rectangular take out box with a lid. Turn the lid upside down and cut 2 slits close to and parallel to the short sides. Fold a paper towel in half and thread it through the slots with about 2 inches hanging down on each side. Fill bottom of box with about 2 inches of water. Place upside down lid with paper towel on top. Allow water to wick itself up on lid. Sprinkle broccoli seeds on paper towel on lid. Cover for 2 days. Uncover and forget. In about 1 or 2 weeks you have sprouts.
Excellent coaching Jeff. Thank you. One question: I froze 4 batches in zip lock bags. When I took them out, they had some frost on them and once thawed out didn’t look so good, nor have the same taste as fresh ones did. Is there something else that I need to do? Dry before freezing maybe? Thanks again.
Such a big pantry. I wish I had such a pantry. I could keep my grain grinder in there too. I wish I had a wood stove and a natural fridge/cold cupboard.

Hi Jeff, thanks for a great video! My question is in regards to freezing the sprouts; Once the sprouting process is completed, do you recommend to automatically freeze to maintain bioavailability, even if the plan is to consume some the next day, or perhaps daily?
What do you do for a living Jeff?
Make videos!
Hey Jeff, can you explain where you heard that the sulfurofane decreases after 5 days? and you said 10 days if frozen? id be interested to confirm if that's actually true
@@DigitalChef1970 Love this demonstration of the total process. The thumbs down people may have an issue with the music being loud, making it a distraction on your well executed instructions.

Thank god you got out of that one, happy for you.
praise God
Thank you for a great video! I have one suggestion, which is to pour off all that rinse water into a bucket to use for watering houseplants or in the garden - especially if you live in a dry climate.
That's a great idea!
And edit the video down. It took up too much time. Otherwise good.
Actually I like to save that water for postage stamps and for smoothing out my eyebrows wow you know I don't think I'll ever grow out of this what makes me such an ass I do not know
@@arlenmargolin1650 LOL....🤣
I was thinking the exact same thing! It kinda horrifies me to see how much water is being wasted needlessly. But then, I come from CA, where we have been experiencing drought conditions for so long that water waste freaks me out.
I’ve been growing broccoli sprouts for many years. I recommend rinsing them as often as possible throughout the day to prevent them from spoiling - something that can happen very easily and quickly. I keep mine right next to the kitchen sink so it’s easy to just rinse each time I am there (about five times a day is good).
I harvest mine (the final rinse in a bowl of water) by agitating them back and forth vigorously with a fork so that the seed hulls accumulate around the edge of the bowl, then scoop the sprouts out from the middle.
Do NOT eat the seed hulls. I find they harbor bacteria, and I am guessing that they also contain a lot of lectins.
I assume you put a bag or something over to keep them in the dark.
Love the form idea.
@@marilynalbert1314 you don’t need to put them in the dark.
Yup, same! Final rinse is is a big bowl to get all the hulls out as much as I can. I also sprout them with some mustard seeds mixed in, to potentiate the effect (a bit like adding black pepper - peperine - to turmeric). 🤔🤗 🌱
Have you ever tried sprinkling turmeric in the water?
Jeff, your tutorial was so thorough and complete that I don't need to watch any other tutorials. On top of that, your personality is so lovely to watch and you explain everything so well. I enjoyed it so much, thank you!

no mayo - it kills and binds and blocks nutrient uptake as ALL dairy based products do - sorry - but everything we learned in school was a lie - (3 meals a day, forced dairy, job and slave work prep ect . . . )

I watched this for my mom who has stage 4 cancer and I read that broccoli sprouts are very good at fighting cancer.

@@hubsun700 you can also buy DIM. It’s kind of like broccoli sprouts in a capsule! I was diagnosed with aggressive lobular cost Sonoma with estrogen and progesterone positive. Let me tell you, I took Dim every day for almost a year and my estrogen plummeted! Now I am trying to build it up just a little bit. So I’m here to say that Dim works!!
Not only have you helped me to understand the basics of growing sprouts, but you've also inspired me to tidy up my kitchen!
That's so kind of you, thank you very much. You inspired me to make more videos! by the way I also started a podcast channel called jeffmara podcast. I would appreciate it if you checked it out!

Wow ! I truly love this video , simple and direct to the point with no frills unlike the others . Also , i have to commend you for having such a tidy up kitchen . You inspires me
to tidy up my kitchen as well just like Leslie Ames said . I read theres more nutrients on the 3 day old sprouts per Dr Li . Thank you ! Please do more healthy food videos like this . Have a blessed day !🇺🇸🎆❤️🙏
Can I buy micro greens or sprouts from the store
Hands down, the best sprouting video. I had zero success until I found this!
Love your wife's gift. I created a sprouting lid by drilling holes in a plastic lid.
I’m going to try to do a teaspoon a day of seeds in a pint jar and just be able to have fresh sprouts every day. Thank you for the video. It was very helpful for a new sprouter .
OMG! You should get a RUclips Video of Excellence award! I was very unsure on how to sprout seeds, but now after watching your video I have faith I can do this. I liked the variety of background music that you played in your video. I also enjoyed watching your clear and understandable day-by-day instructions. You have great pedagogy skills! Thank You so much.

My sprouts came out soggy I followed your directions. I use all the same stuff you use the seeds the jars and bowls and still maybe did I put too much seeds?
Thanks for the tip on not consuming the sprouts with diary products! This is the only place where this crucial tip is mentioned.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching! By the way, I also started a podcast youtube called jeffmara podcast. I would appreciate it if you checked it out!
I couldn't find any data suggesting there was an issue with consuming sprouts with dairy, as a matter of fact in a few of the clinical studies people were given sprouts with dairy products to eat while conducting studies on sulforaphane
@@hashtronomy The easiest to find article are most likely tea and milk and blueberries and milk (or casein) My guess is that because pairing milk protein is disadventageous for other plants, then one can assume the same is true for sprouts... but then, I'm no expert (and I would think that some fat would help with absorbtion, as it does with other greens/vegetables.)
@@alidawt Yes~ I was thinking the same thing re; fats. We have been given so much misinformation over the years on fat, to the extent that many of us now in our 50's & 60's are suffering as a result of eating super low fat for so many decades. Seems folks are having good results w/MCT oil & greens, including broccoli sprouts
Plus Dairy is mucus forming and promotes igf-1 increasing cancer risk. Best to consume brocolli sprouts with mustard if it is not cut up and left to sit for half an hour before consumption to increase sulfurophane.
Broccoli sprouts are very good for gastritis, ulcer, etc. I make cabbage broth (simmer cabbage and drink the broth) and eating broccoli sprouts have helped me greatly!
Oh boy, all that furniture, the doors etc... so fricking gorgeous
This appeared in my feed after watching a Dr. Berg video on broccoli sprouts and their health benifits. Thank you SO much for your step-by-step video and tips! Gonna give sprouting a go.👍
Me too... lol
Me too👍
I wouldn't worry about the seeds, you can eat them for extra nutrition, they are soft after sprouting!! Very thankful for this video! I ate my broccoli sprouts with some chicken, raisins and a healthy Italian Dressing. It was the best thing I've eaten in years. Kids say the same thing. It's our new every day lunch.
why not grow the proper plant you'll get even more from that
@@juncakarina7690 Sulforaphane. You get MUCH more in sprouts than full broccoli.
@@juncakarina7690 I encourage you to research why sprouts and microgreens are superior to fully grown plants.
In the case of broccoli, there's 40x more nutrients by weight and massively more sulforophane, which is a SUPER phytonutrient.
@@juncakarina7690the sulforaphane is 90% present in brócoli 🥦 sprouts only at the day number 5 of sprouting process. That is the only chance to get that powerful element for our body
I’ve grown several batches using this method. Superb instructions and super tasty. I tried freezing, however, they are only really good for smoothies. I prefer to make a batch and then eat it theough the week while the other batch is going. Usually start sun/mon and by sat they are ready. Store In a snap lock glass container with some paper towel and they are awesome right to the end of the week. I might change the paper towel if it gets too damp. So much better than store bought and brain dead simple following this process. Thanks so much man 🙏
Yeah freezing was an interesting idea, never heard of this but I admit it sounded like they'd come out weird. I don't make smoothies enough for it to be worth it I like to eat my sprouts fresh in sandwiches & salads. I'd much rather make a smaller batch, more often. It's just me anyway, you could really always have a small batch going.

I wouldn't even think about throwing these in a shake. Their going right into a bowl along w/ some arugula, radish, a little kimchi perhaps. A few sprouted punkin seeds.Down with the salads. b.t.w you have a kick ass kitchen dude!
Broccoli sprouts yess, but you have me when you presented "Love never dies".
I love your thorough instructions! The tips on keeping the sprouts in the dark, washing/rinsing in filtered water, and finally freezing them were excellent! You hit a home run with this video! You've made me a sprouting aficionado! :)
Thank you for the details given !
Plz can we know how much for a meal (1 portion)for an adult /a child.?tks
I heard that some seeds should not be kept in the dark,,,need to google mor,,,I am confused
hello, i know it’s a late reply but i have a question - does filtered water make that much of a difference? i use normal tap water, is this considerably worse than filtered? thanks
The length of the video was off putting initially but I found myself enjoying the whole video. Awesome job!
Awesome, thank you! By the way, I also started a podcast youtube channel called jeffmara podcast. I would appreciate it if you checked it out!
Mariana's Healthy Kitchen very cool! Thanks for letting me know

Amazon sells sprouting seed Mason jars with stainless screen Lids, a wire stand
that tilts the jar for drainage and a small tray underneath to catch excess water.
I have been buying Todd's seeds and have no complaints.The jar kit is less than 20 dollars.
You've taken the mystery out of sprouting. Thanks.
I kept my jars in the kitchen with natural light and they did just fine. I put too many seeds in each jar, so will use less next time.
I did not need to spend money on mason jars, as I had a collection of used beetroot jars! Although they had metal tops/lids, I pierced lots of small holes in the lids, which enables me to drain out the water and not lose the seeds!
Result, nice green and crunchy sprouts! I froze some as well 👌 Going to start some more today 😊
TIP! It was less expensive for me to order directly from the company - even with shipping costs- than to order from Amazon. (I also ordered radish sprout-seeds) Will be my first try 🤞
Your video is informative, entertaining and the choice of BGM is plain soothing. Can’t believe I enjoyed watching a grown man grow sprouts in a jar while learning to do so myself. Thank you.
I am newbee to this art of sprouting broccoli seeds, i can give this new idea,fantastic job!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the excellent video! While I do sprout, I always like to see how others do things. I find it very easy for the final rinse, to put them in a salad spinner! Lots of the seeds will spin out. I do it several times, and it makes very short work and it’s fun too.😊
Thank you Jeff. I can't wait to start my sprouts! May God be with you and your family.
I have watched several videos on how sprout with mason jars. However this video explained everything much clearer. Thank you for doing a thorough job. I learned a lot.
Glad it was helpful!
Great presentation, to the point and easy to follow. Humble and no ego.. Just fabulous
Wow, thank you!

I'm at 5 days....my sprouts are looking great!!! thanks for the tips.
Thank you for the detail instruction, I just grow the broccoli sprouts for three days because the hot weather. 😀
Hey hey, thank you so much for taking the time to show us how to sprout in a mason jar! My first attempt before watching you I thought I did it wrong and threw out the whole batch ugh!! Then the bag of seed just sat in my pantry waiting for me to watch this! Yay!! Now I can do it!!
Glad I could help!
Jeff, because of you I ordered my lids and sprouts. I'll start my first batch when they arrive. You made a fantastic video of all the steps with visual progression of the sprouting process. Cute dog!!! My daughter and I absolutely love your kitchen. Thanks for the vid!
Thanks and let me know how it works for you!
@@DigitalChef1970 It's been working great! We eat the sprouts on a daily basis no matter what the food we consume. I was a little overwhelmed at first with the seed pods. It was quite a task to get them out of the sprouts. On the 2nd batch I realized there were floaters and sinkers. On day 3 or 4, before dumping the water out of the jar, I'd scoop the floaters off the top of the water with a small strainer. Repeat this for the next couple days. When it was time to harvest the sprouts I put them in a large bowl with water, scooped out the few floaters left, and with the sinkers on the bottom, the floating sprouts were practically seed pod free. Thanks for a fantastic tutorial!
Jeff - this was a GREAT tutorial. The length of it didn’t bother me, as you patiently explained each step. The visual was great from day to day.
You have a nice kitchen and pantry.
Thank you for sharing the video
Just a tip for you as creators (not to necessarily be left as a public comment)-maybe check into creating an affiliate link for those lids, and jars and seeds (and whatever else you use), if possible. Not sure when this video blew up but if it’s still getting decent views, it’d be worth it. Then you could use the money earned for something good. Best to you. I’m excited to try this and enjoy the health benefits.
Thanks so much for this
You are so welcome!
Please reply. Why do you comment on every video i watch? Please respond.
WHAT THE HECK????? RAY MAK???????????? WHADDUP???????
This was by far the best video I watched on growing broccoli sprouts! I actually really liked how you showed each day progressively, it gives people a great idea of what to look for. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Great video Jeff.
One way to bring on sprouting more rapidly is to mix the water with 1% Hydrogen Peroxide. This breaks any dormancy. Store in darkened airing cupboard too if conditions are cool which will promote even faster growth. That alone may save at least 1 day.
This used to be the technique by seed breeders to promote more rapid establishment of seeds. Just needs using for the first couple of days.
I’ve been using lentils to sprout and they’re great, I do what you did but I just let them sit on the kitchen counter and they sprout like crazy.
My little pup Barkly absolutely loves broccoli 💚
I have never seen a better instructional video in all my life! Thank you so much! Keep on teaching how to make healthy things!
Glad I could help! Thanks for watching!
i like to garden as well, couldnt i make my own sprout seeds?
Thank you for your video, for teaching us how to grow sprouts and specially the tip about how the dairy ruins the nutrient absorption of antioxidants! Incredible info! I myself prefer oat milk! By the way, doggos actually do great with most veggies! Our pup who lived 18 years (Yorkshire mix) loved boiled sweet potatoes, blueberries, banana (I know!), boiled carrots, raw cabbage, cooked oatmeal, cooked rice or baby rice meal, green apples cut in small pieces (have to peel the green apple first though). Peeled apples cut in small pieces also happen to be great natural dental cleaners for doggos. He also loved peanut butter! He was a really healthy pup for 18 years until his passing a month ago. He taught us so much and we hope his life continues to teach others! He ate a bit of tuna or mackerel or sardine with his dinner or salmon with his dinner with boiled white or brown rice and homemade veggie broth.
Would love to know more about how to keep my dog healthy
All rice is contaminated with Arsenic.
I also made all of our Jack Russel/Corgi's dog food from scratch and feed him all of the things, except peanut butter that you fed your doggie from about age 14, until he passed at age 20! When he was about 14, he was chewing on his paws biting his skin, losing his hair. I asked my hubby to take him to the Vet and see what was wrong with him. The Vet said, "Oh, he's just nervous." I told my hubby, "That's nonsense. He's well loved and spoiled!" I did my own research, and discovered most canned or store bought dog food was junk and began to make his food from scratch, much like what you fed your dog. Additionally, I found some fabulous doggie vitamins called Dinovite: purchased online. Within about 2 weeks of his "new" diet regimen, plus the Dinovite he stopped biting/chewing himself, his hair stopped falling out and he was supper healthy until his death at age 20! Healthy diet, healthy lifestyle is a winner for all animals AND HUMANS!!!

Thanks for the tip regarding not eating sprouts with dairy. I was mixing them into plain yoghurt
great instruction! ready to try sprouting :) .... re-usable plastic bags (or tupperware) is also a great option instead of plastic for storing. they are more sturdy and tend not to get lost in the fridge as easily
Great tip!
Thanks so much for all the good info. My first ever batch of seeds is ready to be cleaned and eaten. I'm so glad I watched till the end to hear you say that after 5 days the sulforaphane starts to decrease. I've never eaten broccoli sprouts until now. They are awesome. They have a little bite like a raddish. Is that the norm? And mine did not get as green as yours. Any idea why?
excellent information....thank you....I ordered my lids by day 2 .....love the "Sprout Life"...Namaste
You are so welcome!
I mix fresh vegetables with lamb heart or salmon fish and kibbles and my dogs love it. One reason they die of kidney disease is the processed unhealthy kibbles and meat/high protein diet. Vegetables are necessary for them as much as for us.
I used mason jar and sink mesh drain, it’s much cheaper since I can’t find the mesh lid. It works ! Just add elastic band to secure the mesh drain and the bottom of the jar

just learning that Casein counters the effects of sulforaphane already made this video five stars. thanks for taking the time and the extra tidbits of knowledge.
Dairy is horrible for health in general anyway. We are the only species to drink another species’ milk, and people shouldn’t be consuming milk past being weaned.
@@AlexiHolford I'm down to the point where I can only drink either Almond or Coconut Milk. Regular dairy and even Soy does not sit well with me at all. Regardless, it's really good to know about Casein.
Glad it was helpful!
@@DigitalChef1970 I saw a talk by Dr Gregor (I believe) stating that freezing neutralizes and eliminates sulforaphane in broccoli, and I assumed sprouts also. Do you know of research showing that's untrue? I'm ready to make some sprouts but it would disappoint me to put in the work and then kill off the benefits by freezing. Thanks!

Hey Jeff I've been enjoying growing broccoli Sprouts on a two-day rotation since watching this video months ago. The Mason jar method is working great for me and we got some stainless steel screens embedded in the lids that have little legs so it's held up out of the drip water.
Cool! Nice option with the legs on the screen/lid!
@@skittles2055 It is super handy; when the seeds are tiny, I tip the jar on an angle so the seeds stay damp. Once they start to sprout, I turn it fully upside down and the water can drain out completely.

Learned a lot how to raise broccoli sprout, one of my favorite veggie.
This guy is so chill and easy to inner stand great video thank you for sharing this with us.
I actually thought they were even easier to grow than this. I guess I'll find out this week.
My favorite uses for Broccoli or Alfalfa Sprouts:
1) Mesclun salad w/ sprouts, baby carrots, croutons and balsamic vinaigrette. When I need a fast, healthy dinner that requires no chopping, this is a lifesaver. It's really tasty!
2) Avocado toast on Ezekiel bread w/ 1 over medium egg, a little sriracha, herbamare & a handful of sprouts.
3) Open-faced California Melt: Ezekiel bread, avocado, aged cheddar, tomato, red onion, broiled then topped with sprouts. A few dashes on herbamare. Great lunch.
4) On a veggie burger!
I know you said dairy interferes with absorption (did not know that) but these are just some ways I find tasty to use them up before they go bad. Apparently dogs love them too! Not yours of course :)
Hi. I will give some to my dog. He eats a lot of vegetables. Mostly meat of course. 😀
Thanks for a few new recepies! Single dad always looking for new quick and healthy options!
I get the same results in four days, I just call my first day "Day Negative One". :)
Treat the sprouting seeds as gently as you can or you risk damaging the sprouts and the green sprouts parts break of. Not to much water pressure or jar shaking.
Thanks, I was wondering about this. Also wondering why only half the seeds sprouted.
My 3 dogs LOVE STEAMED BROCCOLIS.
Thx so much for this video. One thing tho, dogs get a great deal of benefits from eating greens and veggies. Of course they need also to have meat and other protein but I bet if you shared the sprouts with your dog it would be getting the wonderful benefits from them as well. My pooch has cancer and I will be making these for her also.... ❤

@@DigitalChef1970 So we're on our third batch now, and I'm wondering if you've heard of anyone kind of feeling icky from detoxing? I don't mind it, if that means it's working! But I'm wondering if this has happened to anyone else?
@@susanmacaluso5218 Yes, years ago, when I was studying IRIDOLOGY, (a non-invasive way to see what is going on inside ur body, u can google it. Dr. Bernard Jensen's son & son's wife have continued his work into the electronic age +more). Dr Jensen told us that after our bodys have had bad health habits stopped, been detoxed and been given nutrients it needs, we will start to feel better. At that point the body is stronger inside and we can expect what he termed "A HEALING CRISIS ". It's normal. It's good and to not stop the things we're doing. (Less sugar, stop alcohol, no coffee, no sodas, no white bread, doing enemas or colonics (which pull stored toxins out of one's tissues or organs where body stored them), weekend (or longer) distilled water fasts, eating sprouts and more greens, fruits, vegetables without additives or chemical sprays. Stopping smoking. Including gentle regular stretching n exercises, deep breaths of fresh air throughout one's day, get some sun daily, drink pure water, keep negative thoughts n people away as much as possible, have happy/positive thoughts, help when able, don't over eat, don't eat past 7pm (on normal schedules) and get adequate sleep.
I say, also seek & get to know God & read His Word (Bible). 'We don't live by bread alone' and reading the living, Holy Bible the measure of faith we have is developed. We learn, as we get to know Him, we can trust Him and will have the tools to stay strong during life's challenges. We'll find His commands n commandments are for Our BENEFIT.
My husband always said "THE WHITER THE BREAD THE FASTER YOUR DEAD".
I agree. One of my favorite inspirational quotes is: IT'S NOT HOW MANY TIMES YOU FAIL; IT'S HOW MANY TIMES YOU TRY AGAIN.
Especially during the 'healing crisis', the body is cleansing & healing deeply.
Dr Jensen shared some amazing examples of healing crisis. There are probably in some of his books. One was a young adult male & his lung problem. Another was a grade school aged girl who had a tumor on her lower back. The tumor developed tentacles as it grew and it became inoperable. With guidance n doing what she should & should not do, the tumor began to shrink including it's tentacles. It's grip was released and I'm not sure if there was surgery to remove it or if it was absorbed.
Here's one. Dr Jensen had an elderly client, a lady in her 80s. After being in his treatment clinic he had in those days,, she was to the point of feeling great. (I don't remember what health issue she was in his clinic for..but do remember her glasses were getting increasingly stronger. Unhappily, she was facing loosing her sight.) She had been in his care for some time. Right after she was telling him how good she was feeling, she went blind. After 3 days of being blind, her sight returned and her body had healed that area so well she no longer required any glasses!
Praise the Lord. The body knows what it needs to heal & what to heal first. OUR BODY HEALS FROM THE INSIDE, OUT AND FROM THE HEAD, DOWNWARD...
We must be diligent to get to the point of the body responding so dramatically. But it is smart and it wants to be well. But it will stop its full efforts if one starts n stops too much.
I believe Dr Jensen was the one I learned that COFFEE DRINKERS OFTEN GET HEADACHES FOR 3 DAYS WHEN THEY BEGIN FASTING.
Listening to this music I feel like I'm picking up a quest in a medieval tavern.
Go forth and Battle my friend!
This is an outstanding presentation. Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love those jars and lids! Thank you much for this video
In general, doing sprouts in jars is great, because theyre wonderfully convenient and easy to use. I use it for mung beans, for sprouting kamut for homemade sprouted grain flour, and for sprouting chickpeas for hummus, and I use it for testing sprouting viability of store bought pulses and seed spices ... but that's about it.
Sprouting in jars does have some very distinct drawbacks however, depending on what you're sprouting. First is that all the roots come along for the ride, and roots tend to be a less tender/appetizing than the rest of the plant. Second is you're limited in how much light you can give them (very uneven) and how large/green they can get. Granted some sprouts taste better blond rather than green (ex: mung, corn), but they are the exception to the rule, because microgreens usually taste better than their sprouted counterparts.
Speakingxof which, I just did broccoli 2 ways, and the result was a revelation. I did the first by the usual jar sprouting method, and the other I did as microgreens (shallow 10x10 nesting tray with coco coir, 3 days weighted blackout, 2 days covered blackout, and then 5 full days under my grow lights while bottom watered with nutrient solution). Holy Cow, those microgreens were a full order of magnitude more enjoyable to me ... no tough flavorless roots - just tender delicious stems and fabulously vibrant and elegant cotyledens (which look like jumbo clover), with lovely mild flavor, and no trace of tannic bitterness. The greens tasted more like the white inner stalk, whereas the sprouts smelled and tasted closer to broccoli florettes. For me, It was B for sprouts vs an A++ for the microgreens. The roots and coco coir didnt go to waste either ... I'll recycle them via composting.
Anyway, sprouts are great, and I love em ... but for some plants, they are just a hint of what they could be with a bit more time and effort.
Thank you, for sharing your experience it is appreciated.
I had a sprouted Wild Rice salad, one of the tastiest things I've ever eaten. It was asian inspired (sesame, ginger, red pepper, edamamde, bean sprouts? etc). It keeps great in the fridge for easy lunches, I'm planning on trying to sprout some wild rice for the 1st time to try making it.
I accidentally sprouted lentil once. I soaked dry lentils but then didn't cook them as I got busy. I just drained them and put them in a clear tupperware in the fridge, next thing I knew I had lentil sprouts. I think people tend to overthink sprouts sometimes. I wound up making a delicious sprouted lentil soup w/ lemon (I know cooking reduces nutrition but I still wanted to make soup as I'd originally intentioned and didn't boil too hard).
@@LadySpace_888 TIP: In my experience, sprouting various grains pulses and legumes (after the usual pre-soak needed to kickstart germination) tends to cut the usual cooktime (for dry unsoaked) by about 1/3 to 1/2 ... thus, dry chickpeas that normally need 60 mins might only need 30-40 to cook fully after sprouting.
Anyway, i occasionally make a middle eastern sprouted wheat pilaf, using Kamut, that sounds similar to your rice dish.
@@LadySpace_888 I've made wheat grass, and even grew and harvested a small patch of wheat, but ive yet to sprout rice. If I were to try it, i'd start with UNPOLISHED rice (that hasnt been kilned, irradiated or parcooked to enhance shelf life or cook time), and pre-soak before sprouting - say, 4 hrs for long grain, and 6-8 for short grain, and then drain & sprout in a sprouting jar (rinsing 2x/dy) for 1-2 days until tails emerge to 1/8" or so ... THEN cook via the usual pilaf method. Easy peasey.
These are kind of in between sprouts and microgreens. If you want them (and the Sulforaphane) to last longer in the freezer, dry them well (a dehydrator set a low temp of like 80 to 90 or so , or just a fan blowing on them in a dry, non humid house. In either case, putting them in paper towels and lightly patting them first, will speed up the process), and then vacuum pack them (preferably in a jar so they don't get crushed). This will extend the life to maximum over any process except for freeze drying (which is an expensive, complicated process and most people can't afford the equipment to do this).
Can I buy micro greens or sprouts from the store
Get a rectangular take out box with a lid. Turn the lid upside down and cut 2 slits close to and parallel to the short sides. Fold a paper towel in half and thread it through the slots with about 2 inches hanging down on each side. Fill bottom of box with about 2 inches of water. Place upside down lid with paper towel on top. Allow water to wick itself up on lid. Sprinkle broccoli seeds on paper towel on lid. Cover for 2 days. Uncover and forget. In about 1 or 2 weeks you have sprouts.
Excellent coaching Jeff. Thank you. One question: I froze 4 batches in zip lock bags. When I took them out, they had some frost on them and once thawed out didn’t look so good, nor have the same taste as fresh ones did. Is there something else that I need to do? Dry before freezing maybe? Thanks again.
dry them with a paper towel before freezing .
Such a big pantry. I wish I had such a pantry. I could keep my grain grinder in there too. I wish I had a wood stove and a natural fridge/cold cupboard.
