How to Grow Broccoli SproutsHere's everything you need to grow your own nutrient dense broccoli sprouts.
EQUIPMENT– Quart-size mason jar– Wire sprouting lid– Sprouting jar holders or a glass bowl that can hold up the jar– Seed tray optional, to hold jars
INGREDIENTS– 2 TBSP broccoli seeds I buy in bulk– filtered water
INSTRUCTIONS-Cover broccoli sprouting seeds with filtered water in a mason jar.-Place the jar in a warm, dark place out of direct sunlight for 8-12 hours.-After 8 hours, drain and rinse with fresh water the next day.
-Rest the mason jar upside down so any remaining water can drain. During this time, keep the jar warm and dark.
-After each rinse, return the sprouts to the jar holder or bowl. Mealtimes remind me to rinse. All seeds should sprout after a few days.
-Rinse the seeds and store them in a dark place until the sprouts are an inch long. They can now tolerate indirect or low light.
-Eat the seeds 3-4 days after they sprout dark green leaves.
