Thanks for the video. Why are they kept in dark space?
In nature, seeds do not germinate as well in light as in the dark. This is due to light decomposing the carbonic acid gas, expelling the oxygen, and fixing the carbon; as a result hardening all the parts of the seed, and preventing vegetation. However, once the seed sprouts, light is required, so the sprouts can undergo photosynthesis.
Please can you keep it for a while I mean in vinegar and olive oil ?
@@thegreenlinebeeco Yes!!
@@Foodtolive can they be fermented...as no fridge...xxx n
@@nancythomas-wardm.b.a2993 Hello Nancy, we did not try fermenting the sprouts. They taste best when fresh.
My idea for a gift box: Broccoli seeds, Fenugreek seeds, Radish seeds, Alfalfa sprouts, and clover sprouts!
What would your gift box be called? :)
I enjoyed the video and the special touch of your dog with the sprouts on his/her mouth at the end.
Thank you! The pooch loves his sprouts! ☺️🌱
I’m making sprouting jars as little presents, a jar, the strain lid, 2 tablespoons of the salad mix, a ribbon around the top and a little card with the basic instructions and a link to this video.
I’ll call the box “Santa’s magic box” with the salad mix, the spicy mix, the antioxidant mix, broccoli and arugula, because these are my favorites and they always turn out great.
WOW! What a unique idea for a gift, we love it!!! Thank you so much for sharing it Ann! Best of luck in the giveaway! :)
Where do you get the lids?
@@mariegarcia8007 Amazon has tons of different sprouting lids. Just bought a 4-pack of curved, 316 surgical steel lids. Bit costly but last a lifetime. They have the regular sizes for reg sized mason jars also.
Save the water to give to other plants. They love it.
Best sprouting video I've seen! I love Food To Live products, too. Thank you!
Wow, thank you for your wonderful feedback :)
I can't wait to get started sprouting again, those looked so good. Great presentation.
Thank you so much Cheryl! Hope this video was informative! Please participate in our ongoing Giveaway, you can win 2 Gift Boxes, one of which is the ultimate Sprouting kit, rules are in the video description! :)
Alfalfa, clover, mung beans, radishes and salad mix. I call it “The sprouts of all trades” mix. I’ve only tried alfalfa so far, I hope I win so I can try something new.
All great choices! Thank you for participating :)

Thank you, 😊 you did an awesome job demonstrating the process and answering a couple of my questions about sprouting...God bless!
Thank you so much, so happy to be helpful :)
Wow this is easy. I never tried to sprout until this video. I’m in. I’m naming my gift box “Joyful” because that’s how I feel every time I get in an order. Fill my box up with nuts, mangoes, dates, quino,and broccoli sprouting seeds of course. Thank y’all so much for the video!
Thank you for participating!!! Any nuts in particular? :)
Great guide. Followed it and all of them are sprouting great. Will recommend your guide to anyone who's interested

You're so welcome!!! Let us know how your sprouting journey goes :)
Best video i have seen on sprouts, thank you!!
Thank you so much we are happy to be of help! :)
A great video how to sprout in a jar. I'd love Arugula, Radish, Broccoli, Mustard ( even it's not a sprouting seed but i like to try), Clover. I call it " Healthy & Fun Greens". Thanks for the Gift Boxes
Thank you for sharing your idea, best of luck in the giveaway :)
I followed your method and got beautiful sprouts. Thanks for the video.
Reviews like this make it all worth it in the end :) Thank you for sharing your experience Carolyn! Enjoy your healthy sprouts!!!
That pup is the cutest.
🤗
Thank you so much! Great informative guide!
You're very welcome :)
Thank you seems easy I been wanting to try this
It's definitely and fun and simple process :)
Great video! Well explained. Thank you x
You're very welcome :)
What a fun uplifting informative video. Thank you
Thank you so much!!!
That was an eye-opener for someone who sprouts Moong regularly. Thanks. I was so tempted to reach out and eat those :)
Thank you so much for watching :) Check out our ongoing Giveaway, and win the ultimate sprouting kit, rules in the video description!
SOS...It would be very useful to make a companion vid on... How much to eat at one serving, the nutricion value, high /low oxalates and more...xxx oh yes, can they be fermented??
Great informative video. Your little guy was a treat. Thank you!
Thank you 🫶
Winter sprouts are such a great treat when other greens are scarce! Here is my list of 5 favorites (all organic): broccoli, alfalfa, radish, antioxidant mix, spicy mix of sprouting seeds. The spicy bite makes this my "winter wakeup" mix. :)
So nutritious! Thank you for participating :)
Thank you for the informative video. Your helper is so cute!
You're so very welcome! Yes, he's the best boy :)
That is easier than I thought! It seems to be a foolproof process when the seeds are of high quality.
That's true! Fun fact: what we've also noticed is that seeds like consistency. When you're rinsing them at the same time each day, they tend to germinate better :)
CCCccccccuuuuute pup with lil sprout leftovers in his mouth. Heart melt. What a cutie.
Thank you so much, he sure loves his sprouts :)
thank you VERY much for this easy direction
You're very welcome, let us know how your sprouts turn out :)
So much fun and your video makes the process clear as a bell. Your explanations marvelous. I just emailed this video a friend.
Thank you so very much for watching :)
Hope to grow sprouts over the break. My gift box would hold Organic Broccoli seeds, Organic Fenugreek seeds, organic Arugula, organic Clover and call it Holiday Greens. Thanks for the tutorial!
You're most welcome! Please share your sprouting results with us, and best of luck in the giveaway :)

Thank you so much for watching and participating in the Giveaway :) That is a marvelous collection of ingredients!
I love sprouts in Tuna Sandwiches!
Agreed!!!! Sprouts' peppery notes make it that much more fresher :)
"Merry and Happy Sprouting" was the name of my Gift Box.. I have been sprouting for many years. It's very easy and nice to see your seeds opening and growing. The most important about sprouting is to water enough, but not too much. Also, to keep your sprouts out of direct sunlight. It is better to keep them in a fresh area. I add them to my salads, sandwiches, smoothies, soups, and cooked grains as a decoration. It is a very smart way to take the maximum nutrition from greens and legumes without eating too much salads. And the most important, they are so cute that you will enjoy it very much!
Hello Rita! Thank you for sharing! What 5 ingredients would you include in your Merry and Happy Sprouting? :)
Food To Live broccoli, alfalfa, radish, clover, and kale!
This video is so relaxing! And your dog is so cute! I am just wondering would my lab dog like to eat sprouts too 🥰 thank you for sharing the video! ❤️
Hello, thank you so much for your comment! We are so glad you've enjoyed the sprouting guide! And yes most dogs love sprouts :)
I was convinced to sprout as soon as I saw the good boy eating the sprouts.
Our method of motivation worked, yess!!! hehe
just ordered and received your walnuts cashews and almonds .... YUMMMMM the best !!! my perfect custom made box would be the Organic heart healthy nuts gift box which I would name "A happy ending to 2020"🎄🧨😊
Very positive Gift Box name, we love it :) Thank you for participating!
Thanks for this video!
You're very welcome :)
Great job thank you very much 👍

A beautiful presentation!
Many thanks =)
Good job!!!👏👏👏 I love your dog😍
Thank you so much, he's definitely the star of this video :)
Very informative! Thank you! :)
You're so welcome, glad we could be of help :)
Thank you for this very clear and easy explanation. ❤❤❤
Thanks for watching!
@@Foodtolive ❤️❤️
I'm very grateful to have learned this very important info. It's simple and requires very little time or equipment. Already keep all my dried fruits in 32oz mason jars which I eat in the morning also. For some reason my misperception before watching this was that it required soil. Sprouts from the store are so expensive so I can't wait to start eating them more often to get more glucoraphanin, a compound that is converted to sulforaphane during digestion.
Thank you for sharing Joseph! Soil is often used for growing microgreens , which is the next level :)
@@Foodtolive I tried sunflower sprouts for a period, but eventually gave up! So much more work than sprouting😂 You'd need to be a gardening person❣️
The best part of this video is the dog with sprouts on his lips! hahahaha! Great tips also :)
Hehe Thank you :D The pooch loves his sprouts!!!
I like keeping it simple with Radish, Broccoli and Kale. Couldn't create a gift basket on the site. They're sold out. You guys are doing good!!! 🙌🌱🌱🌱🌱

Wow, thank you for sharing your experience! We would love to see and some photos of your garden! Please message us on Instagram @foodtolive or email giveaway@foodtolive.com :)
I love sprouts.. I really like sprouting Fenugreek Seeds, they're so good!
I would call my Holiday Gift Box "Warm Winter Wishes of Whiskers and Mittens" and it would include:
1. Cacao Paste (for Hot Chocolate Bombs)
2. Matcha Powder (for the Grinch's Popcorn Balls)
3. Black currant Powder (to mull with Orange and Spice)
4. Pecans ( to make Praline Cookies)
5. Xanthan Gum ( for Vegan Fruitcake and Nog)
Thank you for sharing Telenova! Xanthan Gum Nog sounds so intriguing!!! And what a creative Gift Box name!!! :)
@@Foodtolive I use a Chai concentrate to make Nog, that you can spike it for those feeling extra jolly or keep it clean for the kiddos.
Here's the recipe..
The Concentrate:
4 cups Water
2 Cinnamon sticks
1in piece Fresh Ginger, shaved
1 Tbsp Orange Zest, optional
1 tsp Cardamom Seed
5 Star Anise, whole
5 Allspice, whole
20 Cloves, whole
10 Black peppercorns, whole
1 tsp Nutmeg
2/3 cup Brown Sugar
2 Tbsp Vanilla Extract
~Bring the 1st 10 ingredients to a boil and simmer 10 mins, at this point I usually turn off the heat add the Sugar and the Vanilla, then I'll leave the mixture to steep while it cools for a couple hours before straining.
The Polish:
1 1/2 cups Bourbon
3 cups Plant Milk (I prefer either Oat Milk or Silk Protein Cashew Blend for creaminess)
1 tsp Xanthan Gum
A sprinkle of Ceylon Cinnamon to dust each mug
~ Just whisk the polish together and add equal parts to the concentrate; if you're making virgin Nog you can sub Coconut Cream for the Bourbon or just add more Milk of choice. Cheers!
best video ever!
Thank you for your wonderful feedback!!! :)
Clover, Hemp, Kale, Radish, Alfalfa - chkra sprouts (if I could have gone 6 ingredients - Clover, hemp, arugula, kale, radish, alfalfa - chakra sprouts!). Great video!

Following your tips religiously! Day 4 and my alfalfa mix has a pleasingly scented fresh grass aroma, but the brocolli seeds, by contrast, smell a bit nasty, like old brussel sprouts or sulfur. Should I chuck them?

thanks for the lesson! we thought maybe you might be able to recycle the water you're pouring down the sink...perhaps water other plants or the lawn? water is so precious...thanks again!
You're so welcome! Absolutely you can and you should!!! :)
I'm a fool and it works! Foolproof!
Richard, we are so glad this tutorial worked out for you :) Happy sprouting!!!
Rinse am and pm and keep in cool dark place until yellow leaves. No direct sunlight.
My cat loves broccoli sprout too. Gladly dont need soil, can't wait to start this and can i use this method for wheatgrass ?
Thank you for your question. You can use this method for wheatgrass, however wheatgrass grows better in an open sprouter, as the grass has much more room to grow straighter and taller. Hope this helps :)
Well done! What happens if I use tap water instead of filtered water?
Hey TJ! As far as germination, the rate will be the same, however don't forget that the seeds are soaking in the water, and tap water in some states contains pollutants. Thus, we generally recommend using filtered water. Hope this helps :)
Winter sunshine: All organic - Crunchy sprouting beans, rainbow sprouting beans, broccoli sprouting seeds, antioxidant mix and salad mix.
Yumm! As wholesome as ever! Best of luck in the giveaway!
Your video is very interesting. Can you please tell me where can I buy seeds for sprouting? Thank you.
Thank you very much Mariana! Sure, we use our brand Food to Live seeds, you can purchase them following these links foodtolive.com/shop/organic-antioxidant-mix-of-sprouting-seeds/ and also foodtolive.com/shop/broccoli-seeds/
Nice performance. Look up Ken Wheeler’s using magnetic field on seeds prior.
This seem's like a great way TO SPROUT I will try it with a spelt grain ,hope it will work out this time, I try TO SPROUT before but it did not work. Thanks and good luck to me .
( Open Sesme ) Sesame Seeds - Broccli Seeds - Flax Seeds - Pumpking Seeds - Sunflower Seeds .
Thank you for sharing! When sprouting grains, the key to successful germination is good drainage! Let us know your results when you try it again! Thank you and good luck :)
I’m using a different sprout seed than you are and only about half of my jar has sprouts by the end of 6 days. I rinse and drain well and follow all your instructions. Thinking I’m going to have to switch brands of seeds. Thanks
So sorry to hear that. Perhaps the seeds are expired?
I spray with colloidal silver. Research says it keeps them growth free of bacteria and you can't use to much. The plant will only absorb what it needs. Also documented that nano silver increased yields.
Thank you so much for sharing Ashley!
Great video, is there an easier way, I’m a busy guy.
Glad you liked the video! Sprouting does take a bit of time, but it's worth it 🌱
Great video. Thanks. But did you know that the water filter you are using does not remove fluoride.
Good to know!!! Thank you for your comment.
Might be easier to use the jar lids to skim the seeds off the top of the water? Great vid btw!
The jar lids are made of two parts, the frame and the strain, so once you dip it into the water, it will disconnect and will make the whole process even more frustrating lol nevertheless, it doesn't hurt to try :)
Yes just the flat screen maybe
Same 5 items as organic deluxe nuts gift box, with the original jolly name of "Nuts!", in honor of General Anthony McAuliffe- Merry Christmas!
Simplicity is always a great idea! Best of Luck in the giveaway! :)
thank you for a great video, I'm a little confused b/c I watched several videos that recommend 2 full days in the dark and days 3-5 in a well lighted room. I did this with the previous sprouts and it worked great. I have noticed that this brand doesn't sprout as much with the same days in the dark, I will try 3 full days. I also did not soak that long at all. Guess we'll try.
Hi Marly, thanks for sharing. A couple of factors can effect the sprouting process. The temperature, the humidity, as well as air circulation in the area where the jars with seeds are placed. Many methods call for a short soaking time (4-6 hrs), however I found an overnight soak to produce a better germination rate. Yes, you do keep the seeds in the dark (inside a kitchen cabinet in our case) for 3 full days. Hope this helps.
@@Foodtolive thank you so much for the feedback..🙏🏼
I did the overnight soak this time and 3 days in the dark..I’m on the 5th day now and waiting to see the results. So far I don’t see that much of a difference. I used the same exact spot for the dark pantry phase with the first seeds I had mentioned before and they sprouted quicker and more full..
They are non-gmo but not organic..😞 which is why I ordered these.. I’ll wait and see.. thank you
@@marly1869 Both organic and conventional seeds should sprout great. Make sure the seeds are not expired.
@@Foodtolive thank you, they are not, think it was a bad batch. 🤷🏻♀️ I’m following all of the recommendations and always use filtered water. May try another one.
I've been looking into this, and will start sprouting soon. However, I'm concerned about water wastage. Is there a safe way to store and reuse the rinsing water? Thanks in advance, congrats for the great video.
Hello. Thank you for your comment. Of course, you can store rinse water in pitchers or large bottles and use it for indoor and outdoor plants. Hope this helps.
@@Foodtolive thank you, it does indeed help. Cheers.
Great Video!, I have well water.. So, is it okay to use bottled water for rinsing? Thank you
Hello Leah, and thank you! Yes, you can use bottled water if you don't have a filter, however do save the rinse water and use for your garden or indoor plans so it isn't wasted away :)
@@Foodtolive Thank you so much! I definitely won't let the rinse water go to waste! I have some indoor plants that will get it! :)
@@theleah007 Perfect! Let us know how your sprouting journey goes :)
@@Foodtolive I certainly will! The kit I ordered should be here soon! :)
Wooow great info xxxx n
Thank you so much!
Can the seeds filtered out at the end be used to grow the next batch of sprouts? Or do I need to purchase new seeds each time?
Unfortunately the seeds that did not germinate in the jar, will not germinate if you reuse them. For this sprouting method, you must use new seeds. Nevertheless, you can try and experiment sprouting in soil, perhaps it can be a success? If you do, let us know the germination rate. Hope this helps.
how would u recommend draining without the filter tops?
You can use a mesh cloth. Attach it around a jar with a rubberband
I'm Dreaming of a Green Christmas with a Food-To-Live Kale, Broccoli, Salad Mix and Arugula sprouting seed gift box. Add Raspberry Powder to make delicious, green, super-food smoothies!

Awesome name!!! Thank you for participating, best of luck in the giveaway :)
Hi i'm a newbie I bought Waltham 29 Broccoli Seeds for microgreen in soil but will it work for jar too ? or what is the best way soil? jar? or paper?
Waltham 29 Broccoli Seed variety is good for both - soil and jar. Both methods are good and simple, however some people prefer not to deal with soil and planting and choose the jar method, which is described in detail in this video. Judging by the reviews of our customers, the most popular way to sprout broccoli seeds is in the jar or a spouter, soil method is often used for arugula seeds. Hope this helps!
Is it okay to mix the alfalfa and the in the broccoli seed? I only have one jar and I'm making these for my birds
Yes, absolutely. In fact, in this video we sprout broccoli seeds separately and a seed mix (broccoli, alfalfa, and clover). However, please pay attention to your proportions. You are adding 1 tablespoon of seeds in total, so use half of tbsp of broccoli and half alfalfa. If you put more than directed, the seeds can rot, due to lack of space. Hope this helps :)
