The easiest food to grow at home (Sprouts)

[@theshine2]

Please make sure to sanitize everything involved in this process. There’s a reason sprouts get recalled at an alarming rate. That moist environment is heaven to all sorts of funky bacteria that can hurt you.

[@jul3619]

Thanks for looking out for us

[@theQuietWire]

Yes, this! Also always rinse well beans, lentils, and rice before cooking or sprouting them! I also would use filtered water to soak or sprout rather than funky tap water that could have bacteria lurking in it from the plumbing ✨

[@theshine2]

@@jul3619 I’m actually shocked he didn’t mention that.

[@bearclaw5141]

Great information, Thank you!

[@Phil_OG]

@@theshine2 as much as I like his videos...he never talks about potential health risks when fermenting, canning, sprouting, etc., things at home which is not cool

[@Everyyoueverymiau]

Be careful to check the sprouts for mold!

[@greencolouredpeas8235]

hey mike it would be awesome to get a video on your gardening experience to date. Maybe some easy and recommended fruits/veg to grow at home, some best practices, your learnings in general, etc

[@fugixi]

I would love this!

[@Emeraldwitch30]

If you can put a weighted lid right on top of the sprouts they will grow longer and thicker. I grow mine in an old salad spinner basket that I lost the top to sat into one of my stainless steel bowls with a small plate on top with either a mason jar full of water or like me my cleaned 2 pound handweights. Its a trick from Maangchi for sprouting soybeans. I also sprout sunflower seeds and wheat berries(for the cats they are in love with it) and even popcorn. But im not a big fan of the popcorn. Its so sweet it hurts your teeth! Lol. But I sprout them for the chickens and my grandkiddos rats. But mainly I do mung beans as they are my favorite. I might go start a batch of lentil as they sound lovely. Oh I also grow pea shoots but I use soil for those and they grow longer. And you can usually get a couple cutting from them. They rock in an omelet.

[@username00009]

Have you ever had broccoli sprouts? They are my favorite, but I’ve never personally sprouted them. The seeds are tiny and not as readily available as lentils and mung beans.

[@robind8149]

I just ordered a grower and some seeds a couple of days ago, and can’t wait to start cultivating and using the sprouts!!!

[@sarahoff1146]

This is so helpful to me! My mom gets lots of lentils at the food pantry and we really just began using them but are just beginning to explore ways to make them. So THIS is def something we can do! I'm so happy I found your channel!

[@AbigatorM]

As a Final Fantasy 14 player i agree. i know most wont get it but i still had a chuckle

[@will_wtr]

next he'll show us that we can plant lalafells to get home-grown potatoes! 😂

[@wvhaugen]

Great stuff. I have been sprouting since 1971.

[@EHJ_BrainFog]

Dang ... I never thought about the dried lentils in my cupboard !!! Hopefully once sprouted it changes my sensitivities

[@andresvaldevit3692]

That’s a nice idea and that tray for sprouting is awesome, got to know how to find it

[@remjiedoronila7454]

If you're sprouting your own beans make sure to blanch them before eating. Also do not eat raw kidney bean sprouts.

[@lifeiseverything9]

Thanks 👍

[@kevinAuman1]

Why not kidney bean sprouts?

[@remjiedoronila7454]

@kevinAuman1 kidney beans have a toxin that can cause liver damage, nausea or vomiting especially if not fully sprouted yet.

[@Lena_Lena888]

Thank you for these inspiring food videos. Especially growing your own food videos 😊

[@ineztardiff2730]

What is the name of that container that he uses to sprout? And would distilled water be a better option?

[@aleisaetheridge8682]

I love bean sprouts in salads but Ive never grown any to eat this way .I take pinto beans and sprout them and plant them ,not to eat but they make a nice flower. I keep children alor and my Grandchildren and they love doing that and then planting them .Id be a little afraid of mold on them this way but Ill try it .

[@christinewaite8568]

Gee, watch out because I’m going to let a positive comment! This looks great and so easy and I love lentils I’m sure I will enjoy the sprouts as well, thank you!!👏🏻👏🏻

[@monaawan8108]

Please make a video on detail sprouts process

[@oksanahodjaeva3061]

could you share a recipe with lentil sprouts please?))

[@josebotelho427]

Can you grow lentils from lentil sprouts?

[@shadowdawnl6930]

What is the containing your using to sprout your lentils?

[@susanmcmasterson956]

I love the strainer thing you use.

[@chijavier1869]

I’ve eaten beets salads from shops but never ever bought and cooked raw beets myself. Thanks for the tips.

[@reddamooyoung2.079]

Where did you get the container... TY ❤️

[@lovly2cu725]

THERE ARE MASON JARS & BEAKERS ON AMAZON

[@vinnelacharlotte5564]

U can use paper towel too but need to remind u every 2 days need to change the paper towel in 3-4 days it will be sprouted like crazy (from a personal experiment) I use mung bean (because in my house I just have mung bean laying around in the cabinet like 1 big bag 😂) Don't forget to water everyday For a quick Sprout remember to soak 1 ½ days and before soaking remember to wash with water So it was like Paper towel Bean Paper towel Any plates

[@daydreaminhoney]

Stuff them into a pita pocket with diced red peppers and a light drizzle of balsamic vinaigrette *chef's kiss 😘

[@IAMONELUVNOW]

The container you used, where did you get it? Where is you pined 📌 comment to your affiliate link to that product? I don't see it in your description either 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@Globally1201]

THANKS 😊👍🏾...I THINK I WILL TRY IT!!!...I LIKE BEAN SPROUTS IN FRIED RICE!!!... WILL THE LENTIL SPROUTS WORK IN THE SAME DISH??? 😎🔥🙏🏾❤️‍🔥👑➕📖🔥

[@ExploreAroundUsOfficial]

I made these, they grew a little mold before they were done. What did I do wrong?

[@jennymontague851]

Hey, where did you get that tray???

[@andrewknots]

Need a whole lot of ideas for using sprouts. Chinese Cusine of course, and salad, but a tray like that creates a huge amount of sprouts in a week

[@Cyborcat]

This reminds me of a bit from The Office. Someone made a formal complaint that Creed has a "distinct old-man smell". Creed - I know what that is! I sprout mung beans in my desk. Very nutritious, but they smell like death.

[@mcdadiii]

This is exactly where my mind went when he said sprouts lol.

[@heathhuston3825]

That’s a great summers day in wales.

[@yalmeme]

"middle of the winter" lol

[@gauravhaiaaj1]

This water you drained is good source of nitrogen for your plants

[@IberianCraftsman]

why not just eat the lentils? what is the difference or benefits?

[@alexlewandovski488]

What does the thing u use named

[@eraldway]

Make sure you wash them very well before you consume them. I got sick from eating these.

[@Amoure0o7]

Can you sprout barley???

[@jul3619]

I tried it once. It was hard to remove the hulls, and they were too coarse to eat. Try it yourself and let me know if you could make it work.

[@vishnurk4458]

Put them in a wet cloth and cover it. it will sprout much faster

[@dejanamarkova6460]

I was wondering what to do to my red lentils for a while

[@baplotnik]

look up the magnetic seed growth experiment by theoria apophosis

[@mayappleby2351]

Awesome

[@rattanjeetsingh7310]

nice

[@ap3008]

Nice

[@Greens5511]

So why do mine always mold 🤷😖😖

[@keikodoriamedina414]

Yeah

[@Delabeled]

Middle of winter...i see no snow, you don't know what winter is. The North knows winter.

[@_MrTrue]

Mmmm, nice and moldy.

[@lovly2cu725]

JUST IN TIME. I USED TO DO THIS 40 YEARS AGO. GETTING READY TO SET IT UP AGAIN

[@RupertBruce]

Mung beans. Put the sprouts into a PB&J.

[@esgee3829]

this seems like something josh would do

[@bearclaw5141]

So what sprouts won't smell like death when you go to eat them lol? I did Bean sprouts and Broccoli sprouts, and both smelled horrifying lol definitely, the Broccoli sprouts smelled worse though

[@TengoWiskeyFoxtrot]

Broccoli smells gross anyway. 😂 I would pick something you like the smell of in its adult form. Would probably smell better to you in its sprout form. Just an idea. Good luck!

[@yuliyafliorko5856]

Hey! U look like Andrew Harfield ( the older version of spider man )

[@haydehabdolahian7691]

Lots carb too 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@Nick_Valentino]

You put walnuts in the raisin jar and it’s killing my OCD lol

[@N0Xa880iUL]

Three days is enough.

[@melissabowers2870]

You forgot chickens! It’s cheap chicken feed! ☺️

[@sentjojo]

every time I try they mold...

[@TengoWiskeyFoxtrot]

I thought that too! But I did some research and, for me, it turned out that it was NOT mold, it’s called “root hairs” you know it’s that because it’s literally only on the little sprouted roots and when you rinse them for the day, those hairs lay back down. So, be careful but also, don’t throw out good sprouts by mistake 😊

[@GO-ho9fc]

Why would I want these little guys

[@d-meth]

Barley sprouts are not easy to grow =/

[@kevo1978]

Sprouts only means one thing in the UK - Brussel sprouts......a required taste to say the least

[@Randy58-zn4ez]

I wouldn’t grow them in plastic. Glass is the way to go.
