Instructions:
DAY 1
1. Sanitize your mason jar by pouring hot water into it and letting it sit for 1-2 minutes. Then, drain the water and let the jar cool.
2. Soak the broccoli sprouting seeds in the jar submerged in filtered water. Close the mesh lid and let them soak for about 5 hours.
3. After soaking, drain the water through the mesh lid. Next, submerge the seeds in fresh filtered water, swirl gently, and drain again. Tap the jar upside down to remove as much water as possible. Roll the jar around to separate any seeds that may be sticking to the sides. Finally, leave the jar upside down at an angle in a bowl to allow any remaining water to drip out.
DAYS 2-4
4. Continue this rinsing process twice daily. You will notice that your sprouts will grow each day, and by day 4, they should fill the entire jar.
5. Once they are fully grown, transfer the sprouts to a container lined with a towel and store them in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Tips:
Keep the jar on your countertop, away from direct sunlight.
Sprouting usually takes 4 to 7 days, depending on the temperature in your kitchen.
Use filtered water to avoid potential contaminants.
The white fuzz you see is not mold; if you look closely, you will see it's made up of tiny root hairs, which will eventually disappear.
Sprouting is safe as long as it is done properly.
We repurposed a 25 oz pasta sauce jar and purchased a seed sprouting lid with a mesh top.
