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?

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.

[@lemunbalm3731]

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.

[@marilynalbert1314]

I assume you put a bag or something over to keep them in the dark.

[@AllderHouse]

Love the form idea.

[@theMasterChiefRules]

@@marilynalbert1314 you don’t need to put them in the dark.

[@sophiemarcaurele]

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). 🤔🤗 🌱

[@alidawt]

@@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.)

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

@@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?

[@galemccahill3635]

@@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.

Love those jars and lids! Thank you much for this video

[@RovingPunster]

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.

[@MrDanrn999]

Thank you, for sharing your experience it is appreciated.

[@LadySpace_888]

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).

[@RovingPunster]

@@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.

[@RovingPunster]

@@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.

[@justinw1765]

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).

[@Fallout3131]

Can I buy micro greens or sprouts from the store

[@tsmith4493]

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.

[@ralphgrande9077]

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.
