- Hey guys,
Thanks for the amazing response with my last broccoli sprouts video; I decide to make a Part 2! Today, we're specifically focusing on how to eat a lot (100g) of broccoli sprouts per day.
This is seriously next-level self-care. I've been doing this consistently and feel pretty darn great--especially in my head (both in terms of mental clarity and happiness).
Hope you enjoy! 🥦🌱✨

Since filming this, I've started making broccoli sprout SLAW! Basically coleslaw with sprouts instead of cabbage. :) yumnmm
What's your favorite (or craziest) sprout recipe??
Unlock the power of broccoli sprouts! According to Dr. Rhonda Patrick, you use mustard seed powder to do this! I'm a bit surprised you didn't mention or maybe you don't know it. Dr. Patrick mentions this in several of her videos. Good luck on your journey. I also don't make my own sprout as the last batch I tried was extremely foul.
I freeze them then can add them straight to smoothies. It actually increases the nutrients. Don't thaw them out for cooking, that slightly decreases the nutrients.
Wow! I never knew you can make your own Cole slaw from sprouts. Can you share the recipe? Thanks!
Great ideas - I love spring rolls! You can add 1tsp of citric acid powder per quart jar when soaking and rinsing to keep sprouts from developing mold, etc.
hope your channel will grow soon! you make very high-quality content!
Thank you so much, Angela! 🥰 ❤️
I just ordered a kit to grow my own broccoli sprouts. Two large jars with mesh lids, a stand and a bag of seeds. It costs $5 for about 50 grams of these where I live.
I do the same but I put 1 jar worth of sprouts in the fridge and consume within 5 days after growing and the other jar worth in a freezer safe container and use those in a smoothie. I grow more before I run out! So delicious
love this i have been using sprouts on and off! you reminded me to get sprouting. I love a seaweed wrap with tahini and roasted red pepper and chickpea tuna with tons of sprouts!
Your skin is amazing
In the US, at least in my area, store bought sprouts very expensive. Especially in large quantities. If some people can afford it, great. Otherwise, I follow Rhonda Patrick, who first introduced broccoli sprouts to many of us. And she grows hers from seeds too.
And Rhonda has a way of multiplying that sulforafane in sprouts just by heating them up
The biggest "No-No" when growing Sprouts or Microgreens is using CHLORINATED WATER .Always best to use FILTERED WATER for the entire process. There are a number of great channels on RUclips that show how to grow sprouts. Make sure they mention the type of water to use during the process and why it's important. You did a great job with speaking to the camera, giving great ideas for different ways to enjoy the broccoli sprouts and the recipes look yummy. Wishing you continued success with your Channel
I've been sprouting broccoli for a few years now and I've changed my method a few times. I use the 32-ounce wide-mouth Mason jars rinsing twice a day. I saw a youtube video the other day that mentioned a study which determined the sulforaphane level peaks at 48-hours of sprouting. At that point I harvest them and freeze them in a zip lock freezer bag. I've formulated a new smoothie using about 30 grams of the sprouts mixing in a peeled garlic clove, small wedge of ginger, a sliced up whole lemon, 10 or so spirella and carella tablets, acai or blueberrys with the 5-calorie cranberry juice. I strain out the heavy pulp and drink it on up with a straw because the lemon has a tendency to eat away at the enamel of your teeth.
Lots of ideas here- thank you ❤
You should probably stop adding spirulina since it can cause Parkinsons and other neurodegenerative diseases and this is because this supplement is always contaminated with heavy metals, only way you could avoid this is by growing yourself. Furthermore, there is no regulation within supplements.
If you're worried about contamination, try growing microgreens. It only takes about 10 days, and you can grow them without soil if you want.
this is what i do
Me too. Use thin layer of soil and a weighted cover to start
I have an easygreen sprouter, I put in a new tray every day and always have fresh sprouts. I would never buy those store bought sprouts
But you can't grow broccoli sprouts that way- or can you?! If so explain difference. I'm lost here. But I have purchased micro green broccoli sprouts at a farmers market
@@lynne3989 grab a 1-inch deep tray, put soil in it, cover the entire surface with organic broccoli seeds, cover them with a little more soil, and water every day. In less than two weeks you'll have broccoli sprouts. I used to grow microgreens for a living.
The Sprouts Video!! Been looking forward to this! Loved the aesthetics of this one :)
Thanks Codey! Same to you. :) Just found and enjoyed your escapism video!
Thanks Robin :) @@TheScienceofSelfCare
Thank you for sharing all the resources! I also am in the process of increasing my sprouts to everything! We grow our sprouts at home. I’ve had some smelly ones, so I threw away those batches, but the key is rinsing them very often. I also followed some vlogs’ recommendations of rinsing them with vinegar at first, but I may have over soaked them in vinegar several times, so now I have great batches.
I also follow Dr. Rhonda Patrick, she always backs her vlogs with research.
Btw, your spring rolls look delicious!! ❤
Thanks CJ! Sounds like you have your sprout formula perfected 👌🌱 I’d definitely like to start growing them once I’m a little more settled :)
@@TheScienceofSelfCare You are doing great by sharing valueable videos with us. So mature for your age. Your mom must be proud, I would be if you were my daughter. 👍🤩 🌱
@@CigdemS haha aw 💕🙏 That’s super sweet! Excited to keep creating more content ✨ if there’s anything specific you’d love to see, please let me know!
VERY good show. I am a big fan of sprouts, and I have been having them at least 100 grams a day for the last 19 months. A recent fasting blood test showed how much everything has been improved. Broccoli, alfalfa, radish. and clover in the one jar, then into a sprouting tray until useable.
These are some really good ideas. This is making me hungry!!
😋✨
Important note: The sprouts need to be crushed. The fiber needs to be broken down so that sulforaphane is getting build. 5-10 minutes after crushin you can eat or drink it. I do 50GR smoothie 3 times per week in just 200 ml water. Gulp it. Done. Sry, if you said that. didnt listen properly then.
Crushed? I did not know this, thank you 🙏
@@SR_20248 Dr. Rhonda Patrick is mentioned in this video. She is a beast. Like Prof Andrew Huberman.
@@VatoRob I’ll have to check her out, thank you. I listen to Dr Huberman every morning 😊
Perhaps chewing well?
@@SteveLeckie not enough. sulforaphane is getting build for up to 10 minutes. you can leave it in your mouth for 10 min though
Oh my God ever since I was a teenager one of my most favorite foods was pita hummus, broccoli sprouts, and a bit of Taziki sauce with feta cheese. Of course I don’t eat meat or dairy anymore so nowadays, so I just have pita hummus and broccoli sprouts you should try it because it’s seriously one of my favorite foods ever..
And if you want to really go all out, I do it this way sometimes also: Pita, hummus, cucumber, pickled red onions, (homemade, this is actually really important for the onions; you can make them overnight, but store-bought will not work yuck!), katamala olives, broccoli sprouts, artichoke hearts (optional), Feta (for those who eat cheese). So good. ❤
But really, one of the things I find myself eating almost daily is just pita, Hummus, broccoli sprouts, and a bit of tzatziki . I’ve been eating this for 15 years and I still love it.
Thank you sm for this ♥️
Excellent food coach you are , I going make , or sprout a lot , so may , see my families and friebds , reach , a healthier space in life , seen something on this before a clear jar and dark place to spout them , keep awesome
Wow, love your ideas. I stopped juicing several years ago. And eliminated sandwiches before that. Alternative bread can be difficult. I used gluten-free flour as a transition to eliminate the grains. 1:05
I can’t eat too many in a sitting or they upset my stomach. It seems like it happens to some people. Not sure if my gut just needs to adjust to them or what. 🤷🏻♂️
I'm so glad you mention this! Everyone's digestive system is different and we all might have specific microbiomes or food sensitivities that require us to eat less of (or avoid) certain foods.
*Bell peppers are an example for me!
If I was having gut issues with broccoli sprouts, I would personally look into sulforaphane supplements and avoid the sprouts all together. Thanks for sharing, Steve!
Love broccoli sprouts !!! ✌️😁
I make my sprouts at home. To produce enough broccoli sprouts to have a constant, 100g amount daily would be enormous.
I love them but scared about not being able to wash them thoroughly m, and contamination?
Total young Alicia Witt vibes ..... your skin is amazing.
What protein powder do you use?
man what.
raw sprouts alone right out of the bag are already delicious.
A few more times the algo needs to kick in and promote you and then the exponential growth will occur ;)
You simply have too much great content to not get much bigger over time.
This makes my day! Thanks for your support. Regardless of growth speed, I’m happy this community is full of kind people who genuinely value their health and their bodies. 🥰That’s truly what it’s all about!
What do they get contaminated with? I’m confused. Thanks
I think you can get inspired by some mung bean sprout recipes , just substitute with broccoli sprouts. Does cooking destroy the nutritional value, should they be preferably consumed raw?
Great question!
Apparently the enzyme that produce sulforaphane (myrosinase) is destroyed in the cooking process, but sulforaphane itself is heat resistant. Doing a little digging it actually looks like blanching sprouts is the best “treatment” if you’re after the health benefits :
“Blanching increased sulforaphane content compared with untreated sprouts, agreeing with a decrease in total glucosinolates and glucoraphanin content. Temperature significantly affected SFN content. Higher temperatures and shorter immersion times favor glucoraphanin hydrolysis, thus increasing SFN content. The optimum conditions were blanching at 61 °C for 4.8 min, resulting in 54.3 ± 0.20 µmol SFN/g dry weight, representing a 3.3-fold increase with respect to untreated sprouts. This is the highest SFN content reported for sprouts subjected to any treatment so far.”

**I’ll definitely look into more mung bean sprout recipes! ❤️🙏✨
Is this one of those plants you can grow easily at home, indoors? And unfortunately, I don't have direct sunlight all day.
How do you make these sandwiches with rice paper ?
If you ferment these sprouts, it would be more healthier?
How do you ferment the sprouts? Thanks
How to you dry your sprouts after washing them? I feel like mine are just mushy after i wash them and it grosses me out
Thanks for this great question!
A salad spinner might work? I usually just pat my down because I will add dressing anyways. So they’re ultimately going to get a tad mushy 😅 but I can understand your concern because they are DEFINiTELY nicer crispy.
What camera do you use? The color is very beautiful ❤
Do you mean camera? If so, then I use a canon M50. It’s a great camera for the size and price! 🥰
@@TheScienceofSelfCare yes my dear! I love also how you present your content. And the color grading is really on point.
Thanks!
Thank you so much for supporting this channel! ☺️
Are there any content topics you’re currently interested in or would love to see covered here?
Are broccoli sprouts hard on one’s thyroid? I’ve read mixed findings. Confusing.
Yes, I was wondering this as well. Since raw cruciferous vegetables are supposed to be an issue. Especially Broccoli.
How do you prepare them? Is it cool to eat them right out of the container with all the fuzzy stuff on them?
Thanks for your question! If by fuzzy stuff you mean the actual sprout bit then yes! But I would always rinse them well to limit the risk of consuming pathogenic bacteria. :)
If you mean fuzzy stuff by what's at other end of the Sprout then that's the roots. Yes it's edible if you're consuming sprouts. The fuzzy stuff at the end of microgreens are different. Most people that consume microgreens cut them a quarter to a half inch above the soil line. Make sure you rinse with "filtered non-chlorinated" water and enjoy
is vinegar alright with sprouts?
You are nice to eat broccoli sprouts
Walnut oil or avacodo oil with a dash of apple cider vinegar and soy sauce makes for a great home made dressing.
What do you mean by contamination? Like what type of contamination? Any food can grow mold, I dont know if youre referring to that ¿?
Thanks for your question! I especially mean bacterial contamination (eg. E. coli) because sprouts grow in moist environments, which can sometimes harbor pathogenic bacteria. I have personally never had an issue, but it does happen!
I'm wondering too
I just take sulforaphane supplements. I eat sprouts as well but I know I won’t be able to eat enough.
Thanks for sharing - I’ve been considering! Which ones do you take?
Broccolikiemen? You live in the Netherlands?
What is the benefit of eating this amount of sprouts per day?
It fights cancer.
Soak the sprouts in food grade hydrogen pero ide or baking Soda aluminum free before sprouting it. Also chek Doug Wens for sprouting
where do you buy broccoli sprouts/? I have only seen mung sprouts in asian grocery store.
I buy them at the local health food stores (in Europe and the UK). And I’m currently in the US where they also have them at the health food stores, though they’re more expensive here. Do you have a local store that specializes in health foods?
@@TheScienceofSelfCare we have sprouts and trader Joe's near by.
Hey, thank you for your response 🙏
@@SG-wq4rm they should definitely have some at Sprouts! *appropriately named* :)
@@TheScienceofSelfCare
One last thing, what do you think about mung beans sprouts?
@@SG-wq4rm mung bean sprouts are delicious and nutritious! They contain some protein and I eat them often in stir-fried dishes.
The only thing is that they don’t have glucoraphanin /sulforaphane (the healthy compounds I was referring to in this video) because they are not a sprout of a cruciferous vegetable (like broccoli and cabbage). The reason I try to eat a lot of broccoli sprouts is because I’m specifically after the health benefits associated with these compounds. :)
But at the end of the day, the most important thing to healthy living is finding whole foods that are both enjoyable and accessible to you. Mung bean sprouts are certainly a great choice!
Does cooking them kill the nutrients?
Yes, you have to consume raw
I eat 2 meals a day of sprouts . I have been doing it for over 2 years .
You look very healthy and beautiful ❤
Wonderful but where do you buy them?...
Thanks for your question! Local health food stores typically carry fresh sprouts! Another option is to order seeds or freeze dried sprouts online :)
That dutch packaging caught me by surprise!
As they say: If it ain’t Dutch, it ain’t much. :)
They are great in omlettes.
100 grams is actually around 60 grams of sulforaphane according to Jed W Fahey the mentor of rhonda
To clarify, do you mean 60 milligrams? Looking at studies, it seems like the sulforaphane content of broccoli sprouts can vary quite a bit, based on freshness and other factors. Regardless, 100g of sprouts will definitely make a dent :)
@@TheScienceofSelfCare sorry I meant 60 mg and like you said lot’s factors play a role
@@mahmodali9394 thanks! I’ll check out more info on Jed W Fahey ✨
I have arthritis...does sprouts give you arthritis ?
Do u boil or cook or just eat raw???
hi ur so pretty Robin 😊
Juice it make broccoly sprouts shot
the broccoli kiemen you showed are dutch? and you live in the US is that correct? that's a long way for sprouts to travel ^^
Haha I am half Dutch. I currently live in the US but was living in NL when I filmed this. Both countries are my home!!!
@TheScienceofSelfCare awesome! I'm.dutch that's why I knew. currently exploring together with my brother to go commercial on microgreens. but you make me doubt if we shouldn't go 100% broccoli as it's the most nutrients dense. sunflower complements the vitamins and minerals broccoli lacks btw.
and the sprouts you eat are a bit yellow, mine are more green.. I will investigate which ones are the most nutrient dense. I want to grow the best product avaliable ofcourse
so cool!! Is this business going to be based in NL? Do you guys already have a commercial facility ? Would love to hear more!
@TheScienceofSelfCare yeah business will be based near eindhoven- den bosch. the facility is not yet operational but businessplan is ready. in Canada there are a lot of microgreen facilities, US is taking off too. we are one of the first in NL and probably the first to aim for nutritional value. big pharma is trying to replicate what broccoli sprouts do in order to make a medicine to cure cancer so that's proof that broccoli sprouts are the real deal. but there is a lot of difference in quality -> nutrient density between products as many variables have influence on that. like how many lighting, how many water, what seeds, what fertilixer, what soil etc. etc. but no grower yet let's their product get tested on a regular occasion on nutrient density. my goal is to make the product with the highest density of Sulforaphane. but this requires additional capital for R&D. I'm a finance director myself atm and my brother owns a business and is pretty good at marketing/sales so this should work I guess lol!
So interesting! Thank you for sharing.
If you’d be open to it, I’d love to come tour your facilities when you’re up and running! I’m in NL all the time. Feel free to DM me on Insta @science.of.selfcare
Wishing you and your brother the very best of luck. I hope to buy a pack of your high-quality, nutrient-dense sprouts in the future!

🙏😎
Give me spicy sauce or chili paste (spicy peanut sauce would be the best obviously). Then I can eat more than 100grm/day easily.
But i hope my uric acid aint sky rocking.
Well, keep your eyes on your uric acid level tho.
But for anti oxidant, i would really go for cloves. Making beverage of it just like tea.
The thing about branded raw products tho. The producers/farms might care too much about appearance.
Well, clueless consumers force them to do so.
When actually, good looking vegs might be unhealthy. Or at minimum of having the least amount of nutrient we need.
Why is your tongue red and mine has white stuff, what to do?
Do u use a tongue scraper
just grow in dirt as microgreens and eat when they turn green
Whats the point adding it to blender as it destroys completely fibers and the whole value of the product? 🤔
Very very expensive
Growing your own sprouts it's definitely safer and fresher than buying them at the store. Assuming you will take the sanitary precautions and keep everything clean. Cross contamination, storage, shelf time, handling, transportation, change in temperature, all of this factors are added risk. Your logic is backwards.
10x your views by changing the video title to Broccoli Sprout Mukbang.
Kale sprouts 20 times cheaper, y
Not about the cost but the sulforaphane.
Are you saying affordability is irrelevant because I can afford kale seed and Kale has plenty of that@@hbrown3953
You are misinformed. When sprouts are consumed fresh (uncooked), however, the principal degradation product of broccoli is not the isothiocyanate sulforaphane, but a nitrile, a compound with little anti-cancer potential. By contrast, radish sprouts produce largely the anti-cancer isothiocyanate, sulforaphene.”
You say you are worried about contamination risk, but you're eating meat either way, so Idk what is your point.
If you cook them, you lose the benefits, don't you?
cutie pie
This is great. But please be aware that this can disrupt our thyroid over time. Seriously. And it’s a major problem.
Oh no, does that mean people with pcos or autoimmune should stay away from it?
Robin, please consider not eating animal products. You're eating so many beautiful plant foods there is no need to harm animals for health reasons or any reason.
I thought when I clicked on the video, that this person might be health focused, but unfortunately, it's not the case.
I am just wondering have you seen anyone who has stomache after eating broccoli sprouts? I have eaten broccoli for several years and tried sprouts recently but it gave me severe stomache(Heartburn).. Sanitizing with vinegar, steaming for several minutes, or using microwave all did not work, tho I definitely got some positive effects on my skin and sleeping. Now I just think sprouts are too strong that I cannot digest it well. I tried some supplements like Avmacol or Broccomax, but those had no effects at all even I increased the serving.. So sad 🥲
