Sprouting Broccoli Seeds: Broccoli Sprouts "Recipe"

broccoli seeds

water

Day 1: Put the seeds in a quart-size wide-mouth canning jar. Fill the jar up to the neck with lukewarm water. Cover the top of the jar with a double layer of cheesecloth that has been secured by the jar rim. Let the seeds soak overnight.

Day 2: In the morning, drain all of the water out of the jar through the cheesecloth (so that you do not lose the seeds). Put more water into the jar (through the cheesecloth is fine) and drain it well again. Let the drained and covered jar rest on its side in a sunny windowsill. (If it&#x27;s not very sunny, that&#x27;s OK too.)

In the evening, add water to the jar again and drain it well again. There is no need to remove the jar rim and cheesecloth until the sprouts are fully grown. Lay the well-drained jar back on its side on the windowsill.

Days 3-6: Each morning and evening, repeat the rinsing and draining procedure from day 2. After rinsing and thoroughly draining, the seeds should be placed back on the windowsill on their side. (Day 1 is the only day the seeds are soaked.)

The seeds will sprout little tails and then (after a few more days) a pair of green leaves. I let them grow until they completely fill the jar, as shown. You could stop the sprouting process earlier than this if desired.

Day 7: On the morning of day 7, the jar was well-packed with sprouts, as shown. I removed the jar rim and cheesecloth and popped the jar in the fridge. Ideally, they should be used within a day or two.

I yielded 4 cups of sprouts but your yield will vary depending on the growing conditions and how long you let them grow.

Sprouting Broccoli Seeds

Grow your own broccoli sprouts in 3 easy steps and about five days with no fancy equipment.

How to Grow Broccoli Sprouts (jar method)

tbsp organic broccoli sprouting seeds (specifically produced for sprouting/microgreens)

Soak the seeds. Pour the broccoli seeds into a jar and fill halfway with fresh cool water. Place to one side out of direct sunlight to soak for 6-12 hours (according to the packet instructions). This is the only time the broccoli seeds should sit in water. Sitting in water is a common cause of spoiling. If they spoil, discard them and begin again.

Rinse and drain regularly. Securing the lid with your fingers, empty the soak water from the jar, then fill halfway again with fresh cool water. Swirl the seeds around for a few moments before pouring the water away. Be sure to drain the soak water away thoroughly. Place the jar at an angle in a bowl to allow any excess water to escape. Rinse and drain twice daily until ready. I like to do this in the morning and the evening.

When ready. The sprouts are ready to harvest in about five days. They&#39;ll have grown 2-5 centimetres long and developed their first tiny green leaves. Place them somewhere bright for a few hours so the leaves can photosynthesise and turn green. Rinse and drain one last time. Remove them from the jar and set them out to dry on some paper towel before storing.

Sprouting Mung Beans

(50 grams) raw dried mung beans

Step 1 - Soak Mung Beans.  Rinse the beans first then pick out any bits of grit or broken beans and discard. Place the mung beans into a jar and cover with plenty of water (at least three times the amount of water). Allow them to soak for 8-12 hours or overnight.

Step 2 - Rinse and Drain. Pour the beans into a strainer, discarding the soak water then give them a good rinse. Be sure to drain beans well before sprouting. You’ll need to rinse and drain the beans twice daily, morning and evening, until they’re ready. A third rinse and drain would be great if the weather is hot.

Step 3 - Leave to Sprout. Add the soaked mung beans to a jar with a sprouting lid, or use a muslin cloth and a rubber band instead. Place the jar at an angle with the lid facing downwards into a small bowl. This allows excess water to drain out quickly and is also great for airflow. If you prefer not to use a jar, pop your soaked beans into a strainer over a small bowl instead. Rinse and drain the beans every day as recommended (step 2). The sprouts are ready when you can see a little shoot coming out of each bean, typically the bean’s length or more.
