      Hi Jeff, thanks for a great video! My question is in regards to freezing the sprouts; Once the sprouting process is completed, do you recommend to automatically freeze to maintain bioavailability, even if the plan is to consume some the next day, or perhaps daily?

    I’ve been growing broccoli sprouts for many years. I recommend rinsing them as often as possible throughout the day to prevent them from spoiling - something that can happen very easily and quickly. I keep mine right next to the kitchen sink so it’s easy to just rinse each time I am there (about five times a day is good).
    I harvest mine (the final rinse in a bowl of water) by agitating them back and forth vigorously with a fork so that the seed hulls accumulate around the edge of the bowl, then scoop the sprouts out from the middle.
    Do NOT eat the seed hulls. I find they harbor bacteria, and I am guessing that they also contain a lot of lectins.

    I kept my jars in the kitchen with natural light and they did just fine. I put too many seeds in each jar, so will use less next time.
    I did not need to spend money on mason jars, as I had a collection of used beetroot jars! Although they had metal tops/lids, I pierced lots of small holes in the lids, which enables me to drain out the water and not lose the seeds!
    Result, nice green and crunchy sprouts! I froze some as well 👌 Going to start some more today 😊

I prefer to make a batch and then eat it theough the week while the other batch is going. Usually start sun/mon and by sat they are ready. Store In a snap lock glass container with some paper towel and they are awesome right to the end of the week. I might change the paper towel if it gets too damp. So much better than store bought and brain dead simple following this process. Thanks so much man 🙏

By the way, doggos actually do great with most veggies! Our pup who lived 18 years (Yorkshire mix) loved boiled sweet potatoes, blueberries, banana (I know!), boiled carrots, raw cabbage, cooked oatmeal, cooked rice or baby rice meal, green apples cut in small pieces (have to peel the green apple first though). Peeled apples cut in small pieces also happen to be great natural dental cleaners for doggos. He also loved peanut butter! He was a really healthy pup for 18 years until his passing a month ago. He taught us so much and we hope his life continues to teach others! He ate a bit of tuna or mackerel or sardine with his dinner or salmon with his dinner with boiled white or brown rice and homemade veggie broth.

      I also made all of our Jack Russel/Corgi's dog food from scratch and feed him all of the things, except peanut butter that you fed your doggie from about age 14, until he passed at age 20! When he was about 14, he was chewing on his paws biting his skin, losing his hair. I asked my hubby to take him to the Vet and see what was wrong with him. The Vet said, "Oh, he's just nervous." I told my hubby, "That's nonsense. He's well loved and spoiled!" I did my own research, and discovered most canned or store bought dog food was junk and began to make his food from scratch, much like what you fed your dog. Additionally, I found some fabulous doggie vitamins called Dinovite: purchased online. Within about 2 weeks of his "new" diet regimen, plus the Dinovite he stopped biting/chewing himself, his hair stopped falling out and he was supper healthy until his death at age 20! Healthy diet, healthy lifestyle is a winner for all animals AND HUMANS!!!

      @@DigitalChef1970 It's been working great! We eat the sprouts on a daily basis no matter what the food we consume. I was a little overwhelmed at first with the seed pods. It was quite a task to get them out of the sprouts. On the 2nd batch I realized there were floaters and sinkers. On day 3 or 4, before dumping the water out of the jar, I'd scoop the floaters off the top of the water with a small strainer. Repeat this for the next couple days. When it was time to harvest the sprouts I put them in a large bowl with water, scooped out the few floaters left, and with the sinkers on the bottom, the floating sprouts were practically seed pod free. Thanks for a fantastic tutorial!

    Treat the sprouting seeds as gently as you can or you risk damaging the sprouts and the green sprouts parts break of. Not to much water pressure or jar shaking.

    One way to bring on sprouting more rapidly is to mix the water with 1% Hydrogen Peroxide. This breaks any dormancy. Store in darkened airing cupboard too if conditions are cool which will promote even faster growth. That alone may save at least 1 day.
    This used to be the technique by seed breeders to promote more rapid establishment of seeds. Just needs using for the first couple of days.

    In general, doing sprouts in jars is great, because theyre wonderfully convenient and easy to use. I use it for mung beans, for sprouting kamut for homemade sprouted grain flour, and for sprouting chickpeas for hummus, and I use it for testing sprouting viability of store bought pulses and seed spices ... but that's about it.
    Sprouting in jars does have some very distinct drawbacks however, depending on what you're sprouting. First is that all the roots come along for the ride, and roots tend to be a less tender/appetizing than the rest of the plant. Second is you're limited in how much light you can give them (very uneven) and how large/green they can get. Granted some sprouts taste better blond rather than green (ex: mung, corn), but they are the exception to the rule, because microgreens usually taste better than their sprouted counterparts.
    Speakingxof which, I just did broccoli 2 ways, and the result was a revelation. I did the first by the usual jar sprouting method, and the other I did as microgreens (shallow 10x10 nesting tray with coco coir, 3 days weighted blackout, 2 days covered blackout, and then 5 full days under my grow lights while bottom watered with nutrient solution). Holy Cow, those microgreens were a full order of magnitude more enjoyable to me ... no tough flavorless roots - just tender delicious stems and fabulously vibrant and elegant cotyledens (which look like jumbo clover), with lovely mild flavor, and no trace of tannic bitterness. The greens tasted more like the white inner stalk, whereas the sprouts smelled and tasted closer to broccoli florettes. For me, It was B for sprouts vs an A++ for the microgreens. The roots and coco coir didnt go to waste either ... I'll recycle them via composting.
    Anyway, sprouts are great, and I love em ... but for some plants, they are just a hint of what they could be with a bit more time and effort.

      I had a sprouted Wild Rice salad, one of the tastiest things I've ever eaten. It was asian inspired (sesame, ginger, red pepper, edamamde, bean sprouts? etc). It keeps great in the fridge for easy lunches, I'm planning on trying to sprout some wild rice for the 1st time to try making it.
      I accidentally sprouted lentil once. I soaked dry lentils but then didn't cook them as I got busy. I just drained them and put them in a clear tupperware in the fridge, next thing I knew I had lentil sprouts. I think people tend to overthink sprouts sometimes. I wound up making a delicious sprouted lentil soup w/ lemon (I know cooking reduces nutrition but I still wanted to make soup as I'd originally intentioned and didn't boil too hard).

      @@ladyspace6365 TIP: In my experience, sprouting various grains pulses and legumes (after the usual pre-soak needed to kickstart germination) tends to cut the usual cooktime (for dry unsoaked) by about 1/3 to 1/2 ... thus, dry chickpeas that normally need 60 mins might only need 30-40 to cook fully after sprouting.

THEN cook via the usual pilaf method. Easy peasey.

    I actually thought they were even easier to grow than this. I guess I'll find out this week.
    My favorite uses for Broccoli or Alfalfa Sprouts:
    1) Mesclun salad w/ sprouts, baby carrots, croutons and balsamic vinaigrette. When I need a fast, healthy dinner that requires no chopping, this is a lifesaver. It's really tasty!
    2) Avocado toast on Ezekiel bread w/ 1 over medium egg, a little sriracha, herbamare & a handful of sprouts.
    3) Open-faced California Melt: Ezekiel bread, avocado, aged cheddar, tomato, red onion, broiled then topped with sprouts. A few dashes on herbamare. Great lunch.
    4) On a veggie burger!
    I know you said dairy interferes with absorption (did not know that) but these are just some ways I find tasty to use them up before they go bad. Apparently dogs love them too! Not yours of course :)

    Super easy to find mason jars in second hand shops. I have some silicon screen that I cut and insert in the jar lid and it works beautifully. I'd sprout smaller amounts so as to have fresh sprouts daily, rather than one huge amount that ends up in the freezer. Also compost those seed hulls, don't put them down the drain!
