Broccoli sprouts
Contain vitamin K, B-vitamins, folate, vitamin C, vitamine A, zinc, calcium, manganese and copper. It's fun to sprout at home!
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons broccoli seeds (for example from kiemm.com)
- 1 large one-liter mason jar (well cleaned with really hot water and of course dried)
Preparation
- Put 2 tablespoons broccoli seeds in the pot.
- Fill half full with water
- Turn the pot around to mix the seeds with the water.
- Soak for 8 hours
- Put a sprouting lid on the mason jar
- Drain water out, and leave jar upside down to keep water out
- Water daily by filling it up and draining it upside down.
- 8. Keep in a dark place or indirect sunlight. They will start sprouting after about 24 hours. The sprouts are typically done around 5 days. For the last few hours, put them in the sun to turn them green. It doesn’t need to be direct sunlight, indirect works fine. After they green on the outside, you can break apart the sprouts some, to get the inside green as well.
Tips:
Store your sprouts in the refrigerator. They should last about 4 days. Harvest one batch, start soaking another! That way you always have some sprouts on hand. Keep in mind, these sprouts are spicy.
