This is so weird. This morning, I was thinking about starting sprouting and microgreening. Mainly because I live in a rural area far from a decent greengrocer. I buy fruit and veg weekly, but I have to be careful to choose which ones will last. I recently had to throw 2 heads of broccoli which hadn’t lasted more than a couple of days. Growing or sprouting will enable me to have fresh veg every day. Thank you for your very timely video.

[@Spicydoc1]

It’s meant to be. This is a sign that you must begin your business.

[@alicia_nicole]

KZbin is reading your thoughts to keep you on the app ..........

[@freeshrugs63]

Me, too. 40 miles from the nearest Walmart and another small grocery store! I'm going to start this right away. I love salads, but only cabbage and baby spinach last very long. Sprouts will be a great addition. Thank you so much. Can't wait to hear more recipes using sprouts.

[@atomyamazing3795]

Where can i buy your stainless steel stacked steamer? Thank you!

[@cristalbunch4209]

😅😅

[@victoriajankowski1197]

While no seed you will every buy for sprouting would be GMO, they just cleared the first GMO 'home garden' seed and you can only buy from the manufacturer, organic can be important, also if you don't know the exact cleaning process a particular company uses, the seeds have been stored a bit to long, or if you bought seeds that where not sold explicitly for sprouts/microgreens you can and should disinfect your sprouting seeds, its a relatively easy process, there are some great databases online for safety information, but generally most seeds can just be soaked in white vinegar for a few minutes before soaking in distilled water to sprout, that cleans any mold spores etc.. from the seeds that can multiply easily in a sprouting/microgreen environment. Simple step to keep you safe.

[@mariariley3894]

I recently have a abnormal lab test and had to go for a cancer screening biopsy. I saw a Dr Berg video saying broccoli sprouts and great 👍 anti cancer food so I want to try and eating more of this wonderful food. Thanks for the tutorial. Now I know it's easy to do

[@Hertz2laugh]

Because humans do not have the digestive system that herbavores have, eating plants *_always_* becomes a double-edged sword - humans will get benefits from plants but also be harmed by plant defense chemicals. For example, broccoli is packed full of vitamin C, very good and healthy, yes? Of course. But did you know that broccoli also contains plant defense chemical compounds called *_goitrogens_* that temporarily reduce your body's ability to uptake iodine? Yep. And it's particularly damaging to people who already have minor thyroid issues. Cows and sheep and other animals don't have this same problem with broccoli because they have wildly different digestive systems that can nullify the goitrogens. What does this have to do with cancer? Well, eating plants is a double-edged sword - some plants have anti-cancer properties, but they can still be damaging other areas of your health. More importantly, all vegetables and fruit contain carbohydrates. All carbohydrates break down into simple sugars like glucose, fructose, sucrose, etc. Guess what cancer cells use for energy? Yep, glucose. In other words, while a vegetable can provide anti-cancer compounds, it also comes along with carbohydrates that cancer will use for energy - a double-edged sword. Luckily it's not all bad news. Since you mentioned Dr. Berg, you must be somewhat familiar with the "keto diet," yes? Well, humans cells can use two kinds of energy: 1) Energy from carbohydrates (glucose) 2) Energy from fat (ketones) So what, right? Well, turns out the vast majority of cancer cells can *ONLY* use glucose for energy, and not ketones. That means - here comes the big punch line - if you decrease your carbs, and increase your ketones, you can make it very difficult for cancer cells to grow and survive in your body while also ensuring your own cells have plenty of energy to do their thing. Unlike eating vegetables, eating a meat-based diet (no-carb, ketogentic diet) will not help cancers in any way because meat, sea food, eggs, butter, salt, and water are packed with vitamins and minerals just like vegetables, but they don't have any of the carbohydrates that plants do. If you're worried about cancer, consider doing a no-carb, meat-based, ketogenic diet ("carnivore" diet) for 90 days. If you're worried about fiber and cholesterol (you shouldn't be worried about either of those things but many people are) then you can go back to eating vegetables and sprouted plants afterwards. I'm betting that you'll be feeling so good after those 90 days that you won't be in a hurry to add fruit and veg back in, but I'm just basing that on my experience. Anyway, whatever you choose to do, I wish you the best health, and a long, happy life filled with people who love and appreciate you. Peace and love. ✌🏽❤

Growing sprouts & microgreens is a excellent idea Jill and it was good to make a awesome video encouraging your viewers/subscribers to grow their own sprouts & microgreens. Love 🥰 the video and love 💕 Jill.

[@nazeeniranfar2616]

Thank you sooooo very much for this video 🙏🏻 I feel a lot more confident now to make my own sprouts 🙏🏻 you are amazing 😍

I have been making sprouts a lot lately. I just started some again yesterday. Great minds think alike. Thanks Jill. 🥰🤤

[@cathylynnpietranton]

Excellent, Chef. Excellent. Sunflower sprouts on a sandwich with avocado is really good too. Great video!!!

[@alysonbaker939]

Thank you for all you share. I used to grow sprouts and then got out of the habit. After watching your presentation, Yum… I am going to look for my sprouting equipment right now and get sprouting!! Thank you.

[@jwmcneelyIII]

I've been sprouting for a few months, and my favorite sprouts so far are fenugreek seeds. I've been doing them in a colander over a bowl, and someone just gave me a mason jar to try. I like those stainless steel containers. Thanks for your awesome channel!

[@Pumpkinnan]

This is great! I started sprouting alfalfa sprouts in the 80s and recently decided to up my game a bit with mung bean sprouts. They were delicious as well. I use the jar/screen type, but often wondered about how the trays worked. Thanks!

[@TheTurmericTrail]

Thanks for another great show. I bought two of these sprouters, they work really good. Started using sprouts for kids breakfast and soups, good insights from your show. Thanks as always for the great work.

[@carolosborne126]

Nice to hear I'm not the only one who eats soups and stews for dinner. I make a batch n a crock pot and have leftovers for another 3 nights or 4 nights. Any leftover I freeze in individual-size servings. So convenient, during the weekdays especially.

[@CreateYourBestLife777]

Fantastic video! I usually sprout green buckwheat and wheat. Love sprouts!

[@greeneyedRavenKat]

So glad I found your video. I’ve been buying sprouts in the grocery store and yes I hate the smell. I thought it was mildew I was smelling. Can’t wait to make my own! Thank you for making this video!!

[@fracritel]

You mentioned that sometimes your broccoli sprouts gets slimy one thing I would’ve done after I took them out of the stainless steel containers is running through a salad spinner, which will really really take the excess moisture out and prevent them from becoming slimy. The other thing that I do is when I was going to soak my seeds to get everything started I add some ocean minerals, something like that to really bolster up the nutritional value of it other than that terrific video. Thank you.

[@HateNeverCeasesHate]

what are ocean minerals? Is that just sea salt?

[@carolmaplesden916]

thank you i love both of your suggestions

[@superfoodq]

I love sprouts! and you are right, the mung beans grow well in the dark.

[@nebbyking7187]

This is perfect! I had just pulled out old ball jars and seeds after ten years of them sitting in a cabinet, and set them up on my countertop. I was wanting a better method and some instructions.

[@TheLucycota1]

just found your channel and I'm loving all your ideas...my husband and I really needed to make some better choices,,, I made the soaked lentil wraps today and they are awesome,,,thanks so much for healthy and easy meal ideas...you've inspired me so much !

I've been eating peanut butter and banana sandwichs my whole life but we slice the bananas about 1/4" thick and putthem on top of the peanut buttered bread. It's a whole lot easier to eat that way. I love the idea of the sprouts. I'm going to try it on my next sandwich.

[@euniceliciousTV]

this method and container is much much more easy to taking care. thanks for your sharing.

Try mashed avocado toast with Sprouts. That’s the avocado and then mix in your favorite spices. I like curry black pepper and dulse flakes. It’s yummy. 😋

[@fritzreimer7933]

I had no luck with buckwheat, mung beans, lentils, broccoli, radish, alfalfa, red clover, sunflower, canola do great.

[@JokerLurver]

I use the mason jar method, but this looks even more convenient. I like Todd's seeds broccoli and friends mix. This inspires me to try other mixes as well. I hope your demo gets more people into sprouting! It is so rewarding especially in these winter months to grow and eat these precious little greens!

[@K3Bear11]

I just ordered the Pans from Amazon!! Thank you so much!! I gave up on the jars....this looks much easier and better!! Love your show!!

Great ideas! Just the encouragement I needed! Tried several times with the jar method, reordered seed, thinking it was a bad batch & totally failed. I like this method!

[@kassiapencek6185]

Thanks for the lesson! I would like to try this.

[@boqueronbecky6977]

I’m going to try this!

[@drgreguh9389]

if it helps you, i rinse mine once a day. when they are done growing, the roots dont have any smell, but i still rince them again, in a bowl full of water. i store and eat them with the roots still on. if i go 1-2 without rinsing them as theyre sprouting, then the smell gets a little bit weird. its very important to rinse them IMO

[@lorie_g]

I love this. I can do broccoli sprouts well, but I have failed with mung bean sprouts. I use the upside down jar method. I would like try your method with these stainless steel trays. I am buying the recommended book now. Thanks so much! Can you do more about sprouting in the future?

[@degraham9198]

I love this!

[@nommh]

I love the glass method for broccoli, clover and lentils/mungbeans, the roots stay nice and small, but for tiny and/or slimy seeds the jars are useless. I watched this video when it came out, but this time I stopped it and lo and behold, I can get stainless steel trays where I live and now I will and I am so looking forward to my first tray of basil sprouts!

[@BrokeButBountifullyBlessed799]

Thank you for sharing. I've been sprouting lentils and mung beans on my counter. I've wanted to try broccoli and others. But couldn't find the seeds. Now I can.

[@Blueskies1180]

This is great! I had no idea those stainless steel containers were available for sprouting! I have those mason jars with the screen lids so far and you can only do a little at a time I find… I am willing to try out those trays… 😊

[@kathiemott3988]

A couple days ago I was thinking that I needed to start growing sprouts again once I get moved and have the space for it. With this new method, I can use my mason jars for something else, like overnight oats or pudding. I use pureed bananas and whatever flavor I want to make it. This doesn't take up as much space as the mason jars I have been using. I'll have to wait until I move to order anything. I can imagine my plant based homemade chili served over wild rice with sprouts to top it off. YUM YUM!!Thank you for sharing this. :)

[@bainm61]

I bought these sprouting trays. Expensive, but well worth it, they clean up well, and very sturdy I use 1 TBS - 2 TBS of broccoli sprouts. No joke, they work great - by day 7 I have a 4+ day supply of greens for my smoothies and sandwiches. I use a sharp edged pastry scraper to cut the roots off the bottom before removing them to put in fridge.

[@gromonsen4336]

I love sprouting. Specially mung beans. They’re delicious and super easy to sprout. You have to try if you haven’t already 😊

Sprouts are the real superfood. Incredible for skin tone, hair and muscle recovery from workouts.

[@truthbetold2611]

When I struggled thinking what local in-season foods to eat, I thought of sprouts and microgreens as well. If I grow them myself, they're organic, local, in-season and with love. As much as I love bananas, pineapples, mangos and coconut water, they may not be good for me in snowy winter. Carbon foot print is another consideration. We really need to rethink what we consume on a day-to-day basis. Jill thank you for your thoughtful video.

[@charleykyd]

When I tried broccoli sprouts in jars, I really didn't like their taste at all. But I like the broccoli microgreens. From your video, I just realized that the difference must be that with microgreens, we don't eat the roots. So your method appears to be the perfect solution. We have the simplicity of the sprouts without the bitter taste of the roots. Thanks!

[@laurenwarren9434]

excellent video! thank you!

Sprouting them in the dark is good if you wanna boost diamine oxidase production, which can help fight histamine reactions like we see in Mast Cell Activation Syndrome as well as in people with excessive allergic responses to many foods. These look like a great method to do that for a continuous prodction of them in the spring when Mast activation is at it's worst.. Thanks for sharing these cool things.

[@cynthianuver3861]

Thanks for talking about the mildew odor that is usually found in bagged vegetables. I never knew what that was from, but I agree with you, my brain tells me that this is not to be eaten. I stopped buying organic bagged baby carrots because of it, regardless of the convenience. I had to stop buying all bagged vegetables for that very reason. Especially thank you for this video on the sprouts. I tried various methods to grow them and always ended up with moldy sprouts no matter what. I'm looking forward to getting those trays. I'm excited to get my young grandsons into it too. They will love eating all the different types of sprouts!

[@noswad43]

Just finished up a round or dikon radish sprouts, lentils up next. These trays are way easier to sprout on than jars, and I seem to get way more germination. Thanks for the suggestion. You must have sold out Amazon, I had to go for an alternative supplier for the trays.

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

You can rinse in the morning before you leave and when you return at night.

[@kenargo]

You should know that the little fuzzy parts of the sprouts are totally normal. They’re micro “hairs” meant to help draw moisture into the sprout, and it’s not mold. That said, you should let your nose tell you if your sprouts have gone moldy. Any kind of sour smell is not normal and means that they’re probably not safe to eat.

[@kefirheals7383]

Good morning Jill, I thought you’d like to know I bet I’ve made over 20 pans of sprouts since watching your videos. They are so good to eat. The only downside I found is cleaning all the roots. But I’m even getting better at that too. Btw, my wife wants a good vegan cinnamon roll recipe, I’ll look to see if you have one. Thanks. John

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

Fantastic! Too funny that you requested a cinnamon roll recipe. I jus pulled a cinnamon roll recipe experiment out of the oven. I think I may have just succeeded 😊 You’ll see it on the show in the next few weeks 👍

[@kefirheals7383]

I had to come back and watch this again. I might have said, I've wanted to try growing sprouts and microgreens. My attempts have always been fruitless. This method you are showing us, might work for me. You said 3 days for the sprouts and 4 days for the microgreens, to get that kind of growth. I mean, what could be easier!?? I don't have a window to set those in front of. I'd have to get a grow light or something. Thank you so much for showing us this method.

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

The microgreens take longer than 4 days. Depending on the type of seed. They usually take over a week

[@CelticDruidess1]

Have you done a cost comparison which includes the cost of your grow screens? How many sprouts do you need to use to "break even"?

[@donamorrison1482]

Could you please share the advantages between growing sprouts vs microgreens? Health/nutrition wise, especially!? Also, after reading and/or viewing several directions on growing microgreens I’ve never seen them not grown in soil! To which I figured that was the main difference between the two, is how they get from seed to harvest. That’s what drew my interest toward microgreens, as I’ve tried many times several years back growing sprouts using then jar method and every attempt ended up in moldy seeds. Appreciate any info that you could share! Thank You!

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

Sprouts are ready to eat within a few days. Microgreens take much longer to grow. Honestly for me, microgreens are a bit of a hassle. Dealing with the trays of dirt in the kitchen area is a bit of a mess and adds extra expense.

[@letslite]

Love this method, and will switch to those trays. RN tho I'm using so much water removing hulls from the sprouts. Any tips on how to get that done without using lots of water?
