Prepper Pantry: Learn How to Sprout Seeds for Increased Nutrition

[@roseslacenlaughter7513]

I am amazed that so many of the prepper youtube channels, do not talk about buying sprout seeds to keep with your preps. If something happens to the food supply chain in the winter months, you still have source for fresh salads. So needed for good health when things are scary.

To protect jar from light, simply cut an old sock and use it as a sleeve

Avocado, bacon and sprout sandwiches

Now you’re talking. 😋

I grab a tablespoon or so of sprouted lentils to hold off till dinner. It's working! (and I love the taste) I add wheat sprouts to a small portion of yogurt - the added texture is very satisfying. Can't go wrong with my broccoli/alfalfa/clover mix on a salad. Adds sufficient flavor so little or no dressing is needed.

I used to work for Mountain Valley Seed (now True Leaf) and started sprouting seeds with my brother. He still works there, and he never cautioned me against protecting them from sunlight. He did note corn (maize) microgreens needed to be grown in the dark.

Yalls channel should be way bigger. Awsome people with alot of useful honest information. I learned alot from yall.

I recently learned that when you have too many sprouts to eat before they go bad, you can dehydrate and powder them.

In the 70s, the hippie earth mama days, I learned a lot from my kinda hippie friends. We grew sprouts in quart Mason jars. Used 1tsp of Alfalfa seeds. Covered the top with old clean pieces of pantyhose. Screwed on the top without the lids. Rinsed and drained several times. Shook the seeds along one side and laid the in the corner of the kitchen counter. Rinsed and drained everyday. Within a few days the jar was full. Used on sandwiches, salads, etc. Delicious! The pantyhose thing would probably be poopooed today but nobody got sick. Who wears pantyhose today anyway!?!?

Sprouts are nutritional powerhouses! My favorite is broccoli or alfalfa sprouts added to a peanut butter sandwich. Sometimes I add raisins for a little sweetness and sometimes I fry some veggie bacon until crisp for a really nice flavor and add one or the other to my sandwich before adding the sprouts. You can also toast your bread if you like or vary the variety of bread you use. Sprouts are hard to find where I live so thanks for the link.

[@More_Than_Conquerors]

Ooh, what a nice combination! I will give it a try.

[@marleneabreu5386]

I loved this video, thank you!

[@beachflower]

I’ve been really interested in starting spouts and your video is so informative and in the perfect timing !! Thank you ❤️

[@brightstarr57]

Thanks for how to do it! I learned a lot!

[@ej1597]

Thanks... I'm new to sprouting so need a few tips like this

[@jessicaSmash]

In the Grand Canyon, the ancient Hopi Indians would create granaries which are little caves that they sealed up with stone and clay. They would store their seeds and place a small fire in the granary just before sealing it airtight. In essence, they created an oxygen free dark storage location to store seeds until the following year.

[@jessicaSmash]

I was there a few weeks ago on a river trip through the Canyon. That’s were I learned about this

[@sharonmorton6734]

I use an insulated cup for sprouting my broccoli, lentils and wheat, Have tried many seed and these are my favs for nutrition, quick germination and flavor.. Cheapie from walmart. Has a slot in top for air and for easy rinsing. Only one batch ever spoiled but I recently learned about rinsing with citric acid so will start that.

[@TheRickie41]

Sprouts are great, I often use buckwheat for dehydrated "raw" bread, soft wheat is great, too...but, alas, the seeds for the typical small sprouts are terribly expensive here in France, I just use whole grain.

[@jadestar1580]

Excellent video. Been wanting to try this. Thank you! 🙏

[@claudiadoyle8052]

I like to put sprouts on sandwiches, hamburgers and hot dogs. Also in salads and in coleslaw, pea and macaroni salads.

[@marygallagher3428]

I've only done a little sprouting so far. I like alfalfa sprouts on sandwiches.

[@johnboy8594]

green screens are amazing eh! Cheers

[@ERGA2016]

Can you talk about using repurposed jars for storing food?

[@SuperWhatapain]

I need to learn to do that🐬

[@theimperfectpantry5936]

Great video. Also, thanks for the tips on Wallaby Mylar. Got my first package on your recommendation, and I love them.

[@janpiper3068]

We love to put them on sandwich es to add greens to make a more healthy.

[@jesusjazzyogaspicytuna]

Is there any reason why a hosiery sock over the mouth of the jar wouldn't work? I use that method for sourdough and it's great. Use whatcaha have, yes?

[@susantaylor8507]

I have seen people put them in a window seal I want to try this

[@Equinella2]

If you choose to let them mature 2-3 more days in indirect light, do you continue to rinse 2-3 times daily?

[@yukonsmomma3562]

Thanks for another informative video. I haven't ever tried sprouts. They seem to be quite popular right now due to the nutritional value but isn't there some kind of health concerns with them also?

[@fabricdragon]

the main concern with sprouts are 1. mold, and 2 e.coli both are pretty well dealt with by keeping your preparation clean and using clean water (and changing it often enough) or sterilizing the growing medium

[@yukonsmomma3562]

@@fabricdragon Thanks! I appreciate your reply.

[@Laura.4]

Do you worry about eating sprouts raw? I read that they should be cooked? I’d like to eat them raw if there aren’t concerns

[@charlenemalcolmson3113]

Sorry first time watching. Just a note on your intro when screen went black I thought your video was over and was about to go elsewhere. You may want to take a look and make it so it does not look like end of video.

[@susantaylor8507]

What if you can't rinse them 3 times a day

[@More_Than_Conquerors]

I rinse morning and night, and that works just fine. Alfalfa, mung beans and lentils.

[@susantaylor8507]

But I thought you couldn't eat just anything you sprouted besides the seeds that are just for sprouting
