Love growing sprouts! Remember to CHEW your broccoli sprouts: when you chew the broccoli sprouts, you activate the enzyme (myrosinase) that converts a compound (glucoraphanin) in the broccoli sprouts into sulforaphane
When my stepsons were small and came to live with us, the older one was your standard 'picky eater'.
Letting them have their own sprouting garden was such an excellent way to get them interested in taking part in what they ate.
Ive been growing sprouts for a couple years now after a couple of my grocery stores stopped selling alfalfa sprouts. Super easy and way cheap compared to store bought, I go through about 1-1.5 pounds of seeds per year I get from Amazon.
Yep, agree, and the alfalfa ones are the easiest and the fastest
That's awesome!
Hey, alfalfa never worked out for me, I wonder why. They became extremely slimy, stuck together and smelled badly. Do you have any suggestions? ☺
@@ivan7dora ive never had those problems, maybe the seeds are bad, just follow what Derek does in the video.
I love that 'sprouts' are so popular now- my Welsh granny used to eat them every day on sandwiches. We call it 'watercress' or 'cress' this side of the pond. It costs about 30p at the supermarket 😅. Love that everyone is taking this classic and making it cool again though 😊
Raw, living, organic food gives you unlimited energy! Thanks for the video, Derek. Love that you’re getting into sprouting.
I grow Broccoli Sprouts all the time! Not only are they the healthiest to eat their a lot cheaper than what the grocery store sells. True Leaf Market are favorite seeds to buy from.
I’m a new vegan and a homeschooling mom, so this will be the perfect project for me to do with my kids! Thank you!
What you should also do with your kids. Some Red Cabbage in a Blender then put the purple water in a Pot (or the Toilet) and pee on it. It will change the color and is quite fun with younger kids.
Blue and green means good. If it turns pink/red or stays purple you should ear more Green vegetables. It shows if your pee is acidic ar alkaline and healthy would be alkaline (Blue, Green).
Sorry for the off topic but you mentioned Kids and my Son loves it (but he is only 2 years young).
I LOVE broccoli sprouts! I put them on my smashed chickpea and avocado toast, topped with nutritional yeast and everything bagel seasoning. ITS SO GOOD😭 also love it on salads, pizza, soups!!!
Love the mushroom shirt! Also I used to sprout lentils - idk why I stopped. Would love to have some broccoli sprouts for sandwiches etc. Gotta go get some seeds!
I’ve been here long enough-I learned how to grow sprouts from your last sprouts video! 😁
thank you !!! im on day 3 in my first batch ! can't wait to try other sprouts and esp the quinoa!! thanks derek and crystal
I've got to try those broccoli sprouts now, I love radishes and can't go wrong with those health benefits 👍
Perfect timing on this video. For the last couple of days I’ve been searching online for sprouting lids and seeds and trying to learn all I can. Very helpful!
I bought a sprouting glass can from "GEFU" - it also keeps the water from getting on your countertops.
Don't know if you can get them in the US, but I recommend it a lot.
Best wishes from Camilla in Denmark 🍀
Thanks Derek! This is so helpful and the timelapse was cool to see! I’ve wanted to sprout but keep telling myself it’s too hard! I feel like I could give it a go now! 👍🌱
It's so easy!
Love it Derek. I’ve been doing this since 40 years now. Very beneficial for us. Thanks ❤
Well presented. Sprouts are so good! I love sprouting mung beans, they're so good in stir frys or steamed/blanched and put in soups.
+1 vote on the mung beans.
I'm sprouting them together with lentils, but never cook. I use them in smoothies, salad, green energy soup or as a snack, full hand here and there. They sooo delicious when raw 😊
Thanks for sharing this! I was just recently thinking about giving this a Go! This video re-inspired me 🤗
Omg. This video is just what I needed! I recently ordered organic grains and seeds (for sprouting) from my area and didn't have the motivation to start yet.
This is a sign😂 Thanks a lot!🙏♥️
Awesome! thanks for watching :D
This was an excellent video to encourage and teach us the basics of sprouting. Thanks, Derek!
This so timely! We wanted to start sprouting again this weekend and then BOOM, up pops your video! Great minds Derek!
Awesome! Thanks for watching :)
Always surprising me love your content I also dig that shirt
Thanks :)
Super! Thank you for this video Derek! I've been very interested in sprouting, so now I think I'll actually jump in, seems easy enough!
That's awesome! I was wondering a few days ago as a step into home growing, we will definitely be giving this a go, thank you!
We would love to see more videos on the plants you're growing for food!
I have been sprouting and growing microgreens for over 30 years. I love them. While I grow many varieties for health my favorite taste wise is Fenugreek. I prefer my Sunflower seeds as micro greens. They are much easier to grow than many people claim. You do not need grow lights, a sunny window will do. Though you can use soil I prefer to use a soiless matt material made for growing this way. Along with Sunflower greens pea shoots and buckwheat lettuce are easy to grow this way too.
Oh pea shoots so delicious, they're right up there with sunflower sprouts. Now I'll have to try fenugreek. I'll look for the mix 🌱
Sunflower micros are tricky, I've used soil, coco coir and paper towel so far. What type of mat do you use, the hemp ones? I've had the best luck with soil, but do find it messy.
@@mommaz820 You're not kidding they're tricky. I have given up on them many times throughout the years. Best tips I could give is use hemp felt to grow, I buy mine from the Sprout People. For cost effectiveness buy it in larger pieces or a roll, precut pieces are more expensive. I have been buying most of my supplies from them all these years. I slightly underwater so I don't get the rust look. I am a bit manic about picking out the shells as soon as I can without hurting the plant as they are the worst culprit for getting gross. I also under plant keeping the planter sparsely planted so they can breathe. I keep them out of the sun till the very last day.
@@Lorreyla Thanks for the tips!!
Another great video. Very informational as usual. Just a note I have been sprouting seeds for a while now. For myself of course but also for my birds. My parakeets and cockatiels absolutely love them. Birds fed strictly on seeds will eventually die from malnutrition because seeds do not contain all the nutrients that they need. So adding these to your greens and to your protein that you give your bird aside from bird seed will help them nutritionally as well as help them live longer.
Yes! I think broccoli sprouts are my favorite!
Luuuuuuuuv my broccoli sprouts. I put them on everything. I pickel my other bigger bean sprouts
Beautiful! I reckon you should upload a time lapse video of every sprouting you do ... where else can you watch a thousand new lives spring to life in just a few minutes? How about a “Sprout Sunday”?
Love this video!!!
I've always been intimidated about sprouting 😮
But now I'll try it 😊
Sunflower 🌻 sprouts are my favorite 🌱
Do you grow the sunflower sprouts in jars?
Ooooh. Maybe try some homemade sprouted bread recipes?
Woohoo 🎉🥦🌱❤ been sprouting for decades but never did a time lapse, thanks for that, very cool 😎 Buckwheat also one of my favorite sprouts, and wheat berry sprouts can be fun too. Going to turn some of those quinoa sprouts into rejuvelac and make fermented nut & seed cheeses?
I'll have to try buckwheat sprouts. Thanks for the idea. No plans to make rejuvelac.. just gunna eat them haha
Very interesting; I haven't seen anyone show this before so bravo!
"The grow light for....other plants" lol 🪴
This was sooo helpful and I didn't even think to try sprouting quinoa and sunflower seeds!!😊❤ I found a sprouter at our local farmers market and you buy them by trays. Once they are finished you bring the empty trays back to get re-fills at a discount-love it, but want to try on my own too.😁
9:25. Comment -- "I added Dill, Cilantro, Lemon, Balsamic Reduction" flashed by during discussion of Quinoa Sprouts both becoming sprouted enough to eat and also passing out of freshness faster than other sprouts.
Awesome. You’re a prophet 🙏 The world needs more of you desperately
Haven’t tried it yet, am a little concerned about bacteria😂🙈 I get them pretty cheap in the supermarket, but definitely want to try it at home🌱 love the shirt☺️
If it helps I've been sprouting for years and never had any bacteria issues but rinsing with citric acid really helps so try that next time if you are worried!
I just bought a 5lb bucket of lentils to sprout today! Perfect timing.
Awesome! Enjoy!
Great video, so important - because we all can do it, and improve our overall health easily 💥👊🏆
Funny! I just had sprouts for dinner with beets and red cabbage!❤
I like to do a 5 minute pre rinse/quick soak in the jar with water and a splash of hydrogen peroxide (h2o2) to ensure the seeds and jar/lid are nice and sanitized. After the 5 minutes I drain, rinse and refill to do the regular first/initial soak. It is a nice little peace of mind for nervous sprouters and you can use what you already have in the medicine cabinet.
I want to keep coming back to this !! ❤❤❤thanks for the information
I love sprouting!! I recently tried crimson clover, and I like them more than red clover. Of course, broccoli, alfalfa, lentil, sunflower and pea microgreens! Coming to Tigh-na-Mara in May....hoping that's a good time, weather wise, to come out there. I'm sure it will be beautiful, looking forward to it!!
Sounds delish and May is a great time to visit! Have fun:D
🌱Masterful, thx Derek!🌱😋🌱
I LOVE sprouts! Just got some trays recently. Having good luck with mung bean and radish sprouts. Unfortunately, not having luck with Broccoli sprouts ):
Going to use your tips next time, Derek, thank you 🙏🏽
Thank you for this video. I have been wanting to sprout but worry about mold growth.
I love to season and dehydrate the lentil sprouts. They are great to add a crunchy bite to salads, soups and sandwiches or just as a snack! I haven’t been successful at sprouting sunflower.
Loved your sprout post on Instagram. So glad you shared the process here!! Thank you
Thank you for this, Derek. I bought seeds for sprouting, but just haven't gotten around to getting started. Still have my sprouting lids from many, many years ago when we were young and did this. Am going to get my seeds soaking today.
I was given a sprouting kit for Christmas and this is an excellent guide to help and inspire me.
I recently began my sprouting journey and found your video to be very informative ! 👍👍😊
I just ordered a sprouting kit and broccoli seeds. This video was just what I needed. You did a great job of explaining the process. Thanks!
I've been sprouting for many years and they add so much. I was glad to see you share this simple and inexpensive ingredient.
Fantastic video, thanks!
Thank you for this!!
I love micro greens, especially broccoli microgreens. I have not tried to grow them, yet. I am not huge fan of the taste or the texture of most sprouts and I have a hard time to consuming them before they go bad. I discovered freezing them and adding them to my smoothies.
I can’t deal with the texture of sprouts. They feel like I am eating g hair. I like micro greens better too.
Alfalfa is probably the most common sprout, also Hemp seed sprouts are good, Chickpeas, Marrowfat are amazing probably my favourite for taste!. 🌻🌎✊🏽
The timelasp looks so awesome.
I LOVE sprouts! This was very informative!! Thank you for being so thorough. I am excited to get started w my jars and lids and seeds
I live in the tropic and jar sprouting doesn’t allow enough air flow, so after a few trial and error I stick to tray sprouting and it works fine. Keep the spray water cool, it helps
Great tips for anyone living somewhere hot and humid!
Love 🌱 Sprouting!!!
I will be growing sprouts.😊 Thank you! You are a wealth of information.🎉🎉
Thank you so much I can grow them on my balcony as I live in Florida
Thabk you for sharing!
I am moving soon, but when I'm settled I will definitely start sprouting in the new apartment :D
Hi, my favorite 👫. I've been researching sprouting and I just purchased mason jars and sprouting lids. I'm so grateful for this video. I didn't know about the citrus acid for rinsing and you've provided me with great additional information. Thank you😊❤
What is your experience with Kale sprouts? anything different than other sprouts?
Thanks for the tip about the citric acid! I have the jars and tops. I really love broccoli sprouts but only one store near me sells them and they are really expensive!
Damn, gotta get sprouting! Thanks for sharing! 💕
I'm inspired! Thank you!
Thank you for this! I've wanted to try, but have been too scared because of all the horror stories about salmonella. Going to order some sprouting lids right now!
Good luck! I've never had any issues and rinsing with citric acid will help ease any fears.
Hi Derek, try soaking your mustard seeds for just 2-4 hours. This works for me. I live in the tropics, so I do 2 hours. You may need to go a bit longer.
Very interesting, I am experimenting with whole grain porridge now, germinating the grains for 2 days before . And - awesome T-Shirt by the way 🍄👍
Great video. Thank you for sharing. I have been sprouting for 25+ years. I started out sprouting lentils and peas only using a repurposed sauerkraut jar (wide mouth ) with a piece of nylon window screen and from the hardware store and an elastic band, and then progressed into other seeds. I now use wide mouth mason jars with stainless steel screens and lids. Really easy to clean and sanitize. I also grow micro greens as well. This is a great way to continue gardening year round here in Canada.
I also find mustard a little problematic. If you are looking for something with a little heat , radish seeds sprout really easily. 🌱💚🇨🇦
A great source for seeds in Canada are Mums Sprouts in Parkside Saskatchewan, better price and quality, and free shipping with $40 order in Canada , and $100 in the United States. Happy sprouting everyone. 🌱🌱💪💪
Great content as always. I've been following you for years, and you keep improving each time. I would subscribe to your channel 1000 times and more. Thanks a lot!
Such a great video)) I have already started sprouting few days ago and you help me to understand more about it. Thank you 😊♥️
Going to soak some lentils and quinoa.... I'm going to try it again!
I don't know if this tip works better but after rinsing I let them roll in the container so they are more spread out, just so they don't all sit in the bottom like at 1:52
I've never had any issues sprouting the way I do but I think that's a good idea!
You should try Chickpea sprouts, Rye sprouts and Mungo Bean sprouts
Nice! I do the tray and soil method. Donny greens is the guy i learn from. I did the jar thing but didnt like watering all the time. With trays i just water twice and i'm done
Fabulous thank you. Just to say, when I was a child we used to grow mustard seeds on a peice of kitchen paper, kept moist, maybe that would work for you too?
Great video! I have been sprouting seeds for a while. I buy organic sprouting seeds in bulk from a Canadian company. I should get more alfalfa, I found them to be the best on avocado toast 😍
Definitely worth the watch, last year I tried again and failed, even took it with me camping, more sunlight because we're in the woods so if it's cloudy for a week...nada!
Will try them again. I'm thinking the video I watched before must have lived in a sunnier area and only rinsed once a day!
QUESTION: is there a place to find the protein amounts for the various sprouts?
Thank you!!
Could you please give your impression of the raw vegan diet. The pros, cons and some meal ideas.
Thanks for informing us. Much appreciated.
I have a couple "Easy Sprout" sprouters, they're supposed to work better than Mason jars. I have trouble finding ways to eat all the sprouts before they go bad. Great video and sprouts are awesome.
yeah!!!! thank you so much! just in time :)
Thank you for making a video I suggested. You’re the bomb!!
This is a really cool video thanks for showing us how to grow sprouts.
Thx for the video. Need to try out growing sprouts :D.
Will try thank you!
You're welcome!
I put broccoli sprouts in my green smoothie :)
i cant wait to start making this ! great video!
Great tutorial and many thanks 🙌
Can't wait to try this out! Used to eat sprouts all the time at home as a kid but kind of forgot about them over the years. Definitely one of my favorites back then!
for other plants...🙃
thank you Derek :D
lol
thank you for this video. learned a lot.
Hi Derek, Thank you very much. I happen to be growing sprouts this week, but I can't really find an inviting way to eat them, so they're in my fridge. Can you do a video of ways to eat them? Thanks so much!
Can you advise how to store these in the fridge please? Do you cover them, or include a paper towel to keep moisture down, and how long would you keep them?
Love your videos and content! So inspiring! Thank you
