Prep Time 2 minutes
Additional Time 5 days
Total Time 5 days 2 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons broccoli sprout seeds
  • filtered water

Instructions

  1. Add the broccoli seeds to a quart-sized jar. Fill with about a cup of water. Cover the jar with a seed sprouting jar lid, or with a piece of cheesecloth and then the jar's ring or rubber band. Swirl to combine and let soak overnight (or 6-12 hours). Broccoli sprout seeds soak in water in a jar.
  2. Drain the soaking water and rinse the seeds with cool/room temperature water. Turn the jar upside down and shake most of the water off the seeds. Store the jar upside down so that the water can continue to drain. Broccoli sprouting seeds are drained of water to begin growing broccoli sprouts.
  3. Continue to rinse and drain twice a day (about every 8-12 hours) for the next 3 days. You'll notice the seeds begin to sprout around day 3 and they will be fully sprouted by day 5.
  4. To harvest your sprouts, drain any water and transfer to a paper towel-lined food storage container. Store in the refrigerator for 5-7 days and use in sandwiches, salads, and smoothies.

Notes

Keep your sprouting jar at room temperature, out of direct sunlight in between rinses.
