In nature, seeds do not germinate as well in light as in the dark. This is due to light decomposing the carbonic acid gas, expelling the oxygen, and fixing the carbon; as a result hardening all the parts of the seed, and preventing vegetation. However, once the seed sprouts, light is required, so the sprouts can undergo photosynthesis.
I’m making sprouting jars as little presents, a jar, the strain lid, 2 tablespoons of the salad mix, a ribbon around the top and a little card with the basic instructions and a link to this video. I’ll call the box “Santa’s magic box” with the salad mix, the spicy mix, the antioxidant mix, broccoli and arugula, because these are my favorites and they always turn out great.
@@mariegarcia8007 Amazon has tons of different sprouting lids. Just bought a 4-pack of curved, 316 surgical steel lids. Bit costly but last a lifetime. They have the regular sizes for reg sized mason jars also.
Alfalfa, clover, mung beans, radishes and salad mix. I call it “The sprouts of all trades” mix. I’ve only tried alfalfa so far, I hope I win so I can try something new.
I love this video! Thank you for clear and simple instructions for sprouting seeds .... another great idea for healthy eating “Winter dream” gift box: Organic spicy mix of sprouting seeds Organic antioxidant mix of sprouting seeds Organic pine nuts Organic macadamia nuts Organic Brazil nuts
Winter sprouts are such a great treat when other greens are scarce! Here is my list of 5 favorites (all organic): broccoli, alfalfa, radish, antioxidant mix, spicy mix of sprouting seeds. The spicy bite makes this my "winter wakeup" mix. :)
Wow this is easy. I never tried to sprout until this video. I’m in. I’m naming my gift box “Joyful” because that’s how I feel every time I get in an order. Fill my box up with nuts, mangoes, dates, quino,and broccoli sprouting seeds of course. Thank y’all so much for the video!
I'm very grateful to have learned this very important info. It's simple and requires very little time or equipment. Already keep all my dried fruits in 32oz mason jars which I eat in the morning also. For some reason my misperception before watching this was that it required soil. Sprouts from the store are so expensive so I can't wait to start eating them more often to get more glucoraphanin, a compound that is converted to sulforaphane during digestion.
That's true! Fun fact: what we've also noticed is that seeds like consistency. When you're rinsing them at the same time each day, they tend to germinate better :)
Thank you so much Cheryl! Hope this video was informative! Please participate in our ongoing Giveaway, you can win 2 Gift Boxes, one of which is the ultimate Sprouting kit, rules are in the video description! :)
How inspirational. Hopefully this works out the next time I try it. *Sigh* My “Sugar, Spice, and everything Sprouts” box would include: Dried figs, gojis, and dates; allspice; and quinoa.
"Merry and Happy Sprouting" was the name of my Gift Box.. I have been sprouting for many years. It's very easy and nice to see your seeds opening and growing. The most important about sprouting is to water enough, but not too much. Also, to keep your sprouts out of direct sunlight. It is better to keep them in a fresh area. I add them to my salads, sandwiches, smoothies, soups, and cooked grains as a decoration. It is a very smart way to take the maximum nutrition from greens and legumes without eating too much salads. And the most important, they are so cute that you will enjoy it very much!
A great video how to sprout in a jar. I'd love Arugula, Radish, Broccoli, Mustard ( even it's not a sprouting seed but i like to try), Clover. I call it " Healthy & Fun Greens". Thanks for the Gift Boxes
My gift box is also a sprouting theme: "Merry Crucifermas" containing the Organic Antioxidant Mix, along w/ the Organic Kale, Arugula, Broccoli and Radish. Thanks for making broccoli sprouting so affordable over the years!!! 🙋💕
Hope to grow sprouts over the break. My gift box would hold Organic Broccoli seeds, Organic Fenugreek seeds, organic Arugula, organic Clover and call it Holiday Greens. Thanks for the tutorial!
SOS...It would be very useful to make a companion vid on... How much to eat at one serving, the nutricion value, high /low oxalates and more...xxx oh yes, can they be fermented??
I love sprouts.. I really like sprouting Fenugreek Seeds, they're so good! I would call my Holiday Gift Box "Warm Winter Wishes of Whiskers and Mittens" and it would include: 1. Cacao Paste (for Hot Chocolate Bombs) 2. Matcha Powder (for the Grinch's Popcorn Balls) 3. Black currant Powder (to mull with Orange and Spice) 4. Pecans ( to make Praline Cookies) 5. Xanthan Gum ( for Vegan Fruitcake and Nog)
@@Foodtolive I use a Chai concentrate to make Nog, that you can spike it for those feeling extra jolly or keep it clean for the kiddos. Here's the recipe.. The Concentrate: 4 cups Water 2 Cinnamon sticks 1in piece Fresh Ginger, shaved 1 Tbsp Orange Zest, optional 1 tsp Cardamom Seed 5 Star Anise, whole 5 Allspice, whole 20 Cloves, whole 10 Black peppercorns, whole 1 tsp Nutmeg 2/3 cup Brown Sugar 2 Tbsp Vanilla Extract ~Bring the 1st 10 ingredients to a boil and simmer 10 mins, at this point I usually turn off the heat add the Sugar and the Vanilla, then I'll leave the mixture to steep while it cools for a couple hours before straining. The Polish: 1 1/2 cups Bourbon 3 cups Plant Milk (I prefer either Oat Milk or Silk Protein Cashew Blend for creaminess) 1 tsp Xanthan Gum A sprinkle of Ceylon Cinnamon to dust each mug ~ Just whisk the polish together and add equal parts to the concentrate; if you're making virgin Nog you can sub Coconut Cream for the Bourbon or just add more Milk of choice. Cheers!

This seem's like a great way TO SPROUT I will try it with a spelt grain ,hope it will work out this time, I try TO SPROUT before but it did not work. Thanks and good luck to me . ( Open Sesme ) Sesame Seeds - Broccli Seeds - Flax Seeds - Pumpking Seeds - Sunflower Seeds .
Thank you for sharing! When sprouting grains, the key to successful germination is good drainage! Let us know your results when you try it again! Thank you and good luck :)
Here’s what I call a sprout “bento box”. A little bit of this and a little bit of that! Organic Broccoli Sprouts, Organic Alfalfa, Organic Arugula Sprouting Seeds, Organic Clover and Organic Antioxidant Sprouting Mix. Just add avocado, vegan pâté and nori! 😛
thanks for the lesson! we thought maybe you might be able to recycle the water you're pouring down the sink...perhaps water other plants or the lawn? water is so precious...thanks again!
I spray with colloidal silver. Research says it keeps them growth free of bacteria and you can't use to much. The plant will only absorb what it needs. Also documented that nano silver increased yields.
Thank you very much Mariana! Sure, we use our brand Food to Live seeds, you can purchase them following these links foodtolive.com/shop/organic-antioxidant-mix-of-sprouting-seeds/ and also foodtolive.com/shop/broccoli-seeds/
Hey TJ! As far as germination, the rate will be the same, however don't forget that the seeds are soaking in the water, and tap water in some states contains pollutants. Thus, we generally recommend using filtered water. Hope this helps :)
Following your tips religiously! Day 4 and my alfalfa mix has a pleasingly scented fresh grass aroma, but the brocolli seeds, by contrast, smell a bit nasty, like old brussel sprouts or sulfur. Should I chuck them?
You could have took out the seed every time you put water in there because they naturally float to the surface. Making it less hassle at the end. Simple get a spoon and take them from the top every time you water them
thank you for a great video, I'm a little confused b/c I watched several videos that recommend 2 full days in the dark and days 3-5 in a well lighted room. I did this with the previous sprouts and it worked great. I have noticed that this brand doesn't sprout as much with the same days in the dark, I will try 3 full days. I also did not soak that long at all. Guess we'll try.
Hi Marly, thanks for sharing. A couple of factors can effect the sprouting process. The temperature, the humidity, as well as air circulation in the area where the jars with seeds are placed. Many methods call for a short soaking time (4-6 hrs), however I found an overnight soak to produce a better germination rate. Yes, you do keep the seeds in the dark (inside a kitchen cabinet in our case) for 3 full days. Hope this helps.
@@Foodtolive thank you so much for the feedback..🙏🏼 I did the overnight soak this time and 3 days in the dark..I’m on the 5th day now and waiting to see the results. So far I don’t see that much of a difference. I used the same exact spot for the dark pantry phase with the first seeds I had mentioned before and they sprouted quicker and more full.. They are non-gmo but not organic..😞 which is why I ordered these.. I’ll wait and see.. thank you
@@Foodtolive thank you, they are not, think it was a bad batch. 🤷🏻♀️ I’m following all of the recommendations and always use filtered water. May try another one.
The jar lids are made of two parts, the frame and the strain, so once you dip it into the water, it will disconnect and will make the whole process even more frustrating lol nevertheless, it doesn't hurt to try :)
I've been looking into this, and will start sprouting soon. However, I'm concerned about water wastage. Is there a safe way to store and reuse the rinsing water? Thanks in advance, congrats for the great video.
Hello. Thank you for your comment. Of course, you can store rinse water in pitchers or large bottles and use it for indoor and outdoor plants. Hope this helps.
I’m using a different sprout seed than you are and only about half of my jar has sprouts by the end of 6 days. I rinse and drain well and follow all your instructions. Thinking I’m going to have to switch brands of seeds. Thanks
Thank you for your question. You can use this method for wheatgrass, however wheatgrass grows better in an open sprouter, as the grass has much more room to grow straighter and taller. Hope this helps :)
Hi! Glad you enjoyed the video! Regarding your question, while ozonated water can be used for sprouting, it's essential to be cautious as ozone can affect the sprouting process and may not be suitable for all seeds. Using filtered water ensures a consistent and safe environment for sprouting without introducing additional variables. However, if you choose to use ozonated water, it's advisable to research its effects on the specific seeds you're sprouting and proceed with caution. Hope this helps!
Hi! Welcome to sprouting! 🌱 Using bottled alkaline water like Essentia or Trader Joe’s is generally fine for soaking your sprouts. Just make sure the water is clean and free from any additives.
I'm Dreaming of a Green Christmas with a Food-To-Live Kale, Broccoli, Salad Mix and Arugula sprouting seed gift box. Add Raspberry Powder to make delicious, green, super-food smoothies!
Hello Leah, and thank you! Yes, you can use bottled water if you don't have a filter, however do save the rinse water and use for your garden or indoor plans so it isn't wasted away :)
Yes, absolutely. In fact, in this video we sprout broccoli seeds separately and a seed mix (broccoli, alfalfa, and clover). However, please pay attention to your proportions. You are adding 1 tablespoon of seeds in total, so use half of tbsp of broccoli and half alfalfa. If you put more than directed, the seeds can rot, due to lack of space. Hope this helps :)
What are good sprouting jars with lids that don't rust? I have looked up many different ones but they all seem to have at least some reviews with regard to rust (and or mold)... Any suggestions ? 🤔
Hello. These are the exact lids that I am using in this video, I've had them for 3 years and they look brand new, no rust. I never put them in the dishwasher, and I keep them inside a cabinet that I use all the time, so there is constant air circulation happening. I hope this helps. Here is the link www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07NM9TNXP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
@@Foodtolive , Would you be so kind to give a link to the jars that fit these lids, because when trying to search for jars on Amazon, I see there are different ones, sometimes too small, sometimes they don't fit the lids well, etc.... A link would be great. Thanks in advance...🌷
@@Butterfly-1028 I purchased my mason jars at Marshalls years ago, however I found them on amazon (I believe they are the same, 32 oz jars), I think the lids should fit these. Nevertheless, before purchasing, please make sure they are returnable (just In case!!) www.amazon.com/Ball-Regular-32-Ounces-2-Units-Pack/dp/B01N6QBJG0/ref=sr_1_5?crid=3FZZV9PQU678N&keywords=mason+jars+2.75+in&qid=1680635053&sprefix=maison+jars+2.75+in%2Caps%2C123&sr=8-5
If the Sprouts do not sprout but just a little bit is it okay to re-soak them and start over again? They did sprout a little but not all the way because I think it was too cold in my house. So what I want to do is just soak them again overnight and start again in a warmer place can I do that?
If the seed already produced a tail, do not soak it in water overnight, because this might cause rotting. Just rinse the seeds very well, and proceed normal (spread them around in the jar and leave at an angle so the water can fully drain out)
Thanks for the video. Why are they kept in dark space?
In nature, seeds do not germinate as well in light as in the dark. This is due to light decomposing the carbonic acid gas, expelling the oxygen, and fixing the carbon; as a result hardening all the parts of the seed, and preventing vegetation. However, once the seed sprouts, light is required, so the sprouts can undergo photosynthesis.
Please can you keep it for a while I mean in vinegar and olive oil ?
@@thegreenlinebeeco Yes!!
@@Foodtolive can they be fermented...as no fridge...xxx n
@@nancythomas-wardm.b.a2993 Hello Nancy, we did not try fermenting the sprouts. They taste best when fresh.
My idea for a gift box: Broccoli seeds, Fenugreek seeds, Radish seeds, Alfalfa sprouts, and clover sprouts!

The Concentrate:
4 cups Water
2 Cinnamon sticks
1in piece Fresh Ginger, shaved
1 Tbsp Orange Zest, optional
1 tsp Cardamom Seed
5 Star Anise, whole
5 Allspice, whole
20 Cloves, whole
10 Black peppercorns, whole
1 tsp Nutmeg
2/3 cup Brown Sugar
2 Tbsp Vanilla Extract
~Bring the 1st 10 ingredients to a boil and simmer 10 mins, at this point I usually turn off the heat add the Sugar and the Vanilla, then I'll leave the mixture to steep while it cools for a couple hours before straining.
The Polish:
1 1/2 cups Bourbon
3 cups Plant Milk (I prefer either Oat Milk or Silk Protein Cashew Blend for creaminess)
1 tsp Xanthan Gum
A sprinkle of Ceylon Cinnamon to dust each mug
~ Just whisk the polish together and add equal parts to the concentrate; if you're making virgin Nog you can sub Coconut Cream for the Bourbon or just add more Milk of choice. Cheers!

Your video is very interesting. Can you please tell me where can I buy seeds for sprouting? Thank you.
Thank you very much Mariana! Sure, we use our brand Food to Live seeds, you can purchase them following these links foodtolive.com/shop/organic-antioxidant-mix-of-sprouting-seeds/ and also foodtolive.com/shop/broccoli-seeds/
I'm a fool and it works! Foolproof!
Richard, we are so glad this tutorial worked out for you :) Happy sprouting!!!
💚Thanks
Well done! What happens if I use tap water instead of filtered water?
Hey TJ! As far as germination, the rate will be the same, however don't forget that the seeds are soaking in the water, and tap water in some states contains pollutants. Thus, we generally recommend using filtered water. Hope this helps :)

Very informative! Thank you! :)
You're so welcome, glad we could be of help :)
Following your tips religiously! Day 4 and my alfalfa mix has a pleasingly scented fresh grass aroma, but the brocolli seeds, by contrast, smell a bit nasty, like old brussel sprouts or sulfur. Should I chuck them?

You could have took out the seed every time you put water in there because they naturally float to the surface. Making it less hassle at the end. Simple get a spoon and take them from the top every time you water them
thank you for a great video, I'm a little confused b/c I watched several videos that recommend 2 full days in the dark and days 3-5 in a well lighted room. I did this with the previous sprouts and it worked great. I have noticed that this brand doesn't sprout as much with the same days in the dark, I will try 3 full days. I also did not soak that long at all. Guess we'll try.
Hi Marly, thanks for sharing. A couple of factors can effect the sprouting process. The temperature, the humidity, as well as air circulation in the area where the jars with seeds are placed. Many methods call for a short soaking time (4-6 hrs), however I found an overnight soak to produce a better germination rate. Yes, you do keep the seeds in the dark (inside a kitchen cabinet in our case) for 3 full days. Hope this helps.
@@Foodtolive thank you so much for the feedback..🙏🏼
I did the overnight soak this time and 3 days in the dark..I’m on the 5th day now and waiting to see the results. So far I don’t see that much of a difference. I used the same exact spot for the dark pantry phase with the first seeds I had mentioned before and they sprouted quicker and more full..
They are non-gmo but not organic..😞 which is why I ordered these.. I’ll wait and see.. thank you
@@marly1869 Both organic and conventional seeds should sprout great. Make sure the seeds are not expired.
@@Foodtolive thank you, they are not, think it was a bad batch. 🤷🏻♀️ I’m following all of the recommendations and always use filtered water. May try another one.
Might be easier to use the jar lids to skim the seeds off the top of the water? Great vid btw!
The jar lids are made of two parts, the frame and the strain, so once you dip it into the water, it will disconnect and will make the whole process even more frustrating lol nevertheless, it doesn't hurt to try :)
Yes just the flat screen maybe
I've been looking into this, and will start sprouting soon. However, I'm concerned about water wastage. Is there a safe way to store and reuse the rinsing water? Thanks in advance, congrats for the great video.
Hello. Thank you for your comment. Of course, you can store rinse water in pitchers or large bottles and use it for indoor and outdoor plants. Hope this helps.
@@Foodtolive thank you, it does indeed help. Cheers.
I’m using a different sprout seed than you are and only about half of my jar has sprouts by the end of 6 days. I rinse and drain well and follow all your instructions. Thinking I’m going to have to switch brands of seeds. Thanks
So sorry to hear that. Perhaps the seeds are expired?
Wonderful video. Well done.
Thank you very much!
My cat loves broccoli sprout too. Gladly dont need soil, can't wait to start this and can i use this method for wheatgrass ?
Thank you for your question. You can use this method for wheatgrass, however wheatgrass grows better in an open sprouter, as the grass has much more room to grow straighter and taller. Hope this helps :)
Great video. Thanks. But did you know that the water filter you are using does not remove fluoride.
Good to know!!! Thank you for your comment.
Great video, is there an easier way, I’m a busy guy.
Glad you liked the video! Sprouting does take a bit of time, but it's worth it 🌱
Hi ...enjoyed the video ...Question => can i use ozoned water instead of filter ? is there any difference ? Thanks
Hi! Glad you enjoyed the video! Regarding your question, while ozonated water can be used for sprouting, it's essential to be cautious as ozone can affect the sprouting process and may not be suitable for all seeds. Using filtered water ensures a consistent and safe environment for sprouting without introducing additional variables. However, if you choose to use ozonated water, it's advisable to research its effects on the specific seeds you're sprouting and proceed with caution. Hope this helps!
@@Foodtolive i will make some research or get a filter.
Thank you very much for so much details. 🙏
Today is my 1st time sprouting. Is it okay to use bottled alkaline water to soak my sprouts? Like Essentia or Trader Joe's has an alkaline water too.
Hi! Welcome to sprouting! 🌱 Using bottled alkaline water like Essentia or Trader Joe’s is generally fine for soaking your sprouts. Just make sure the water is clean and free from any additives.

Great video!!!
Thank you so much for watching!!! :)
Great Video!, I have well water.. So, is it okay to use bottled water for rinsing? Thank you
Hello Leah, and thank you! Yes, you can use bottled water if you don't have a filter, however do save the rinse water and use for your garden or indoor plans so it isn't wasted away :)
@@Foodtolive Thank you so much! I definitely won't let the rinse water go to waste! I have some indoor plants that will get it! :)
@@theleah007 Perfect! Let us know how your sprouting journey goes :)
@@Foodtolive I certainly will! The kit I ordered should be here soon! :)
Is it okay to mix the alfalfa and the in the broccoli seed? I only have one jar and I'm making these for my birds
Yes, absolutely. In fact, in this video we sprout broccoli seeds separately and a seed mix (broccoli, alfalfa, and clover). However, please pay attention to your proportions. You are adding 1 tablespoon of seeds in total, so use half of tbsp of broccoli and half alfalfa. If you put more than directed, the seeds can rot, due to lack of space. Hope this helps :)
What are good sprouting jars with lids that don't rust?
I have looked up many different ones but they all seem to have at least some reviews with regard to rust (and or mold)...
Any suggestions ? 🤔
Hello. These are the exact lids that I am using in this video, I've had them for 3 years and they look brand new, no rust. I never put them in the dishwasher, and I keep them inside a cabinet that I use all the time, so there is constant air circulation happening. I hope this helps.

@@Foodtolive , Thanks for your reply. 🌸
@@Butterfly-1028 Of course :)
@@Foodtolive , Would you be so kind to give a link to the jars that fit these lids, because when trying to search for jars on Amazon, I see there are different ones, sometimes too small, sometimes they don't fit the lids well, etc....
A link would be great. Thanks in advance...🌷
@@Butterfly-1028 I purchased my mason jars at Marshalls years ago, however I found them on amazon (I believe they are the same, 32 oz jars), I think the lids should fit these. Nevertheless, before purchasing, please make sure they are returnable (just In case!!) www.amazon.com/Ball-Regular-32-Ounces-2-Units-Pack/dp/B01N6QBJG0/ref=sr_1_5?crid=3FZZV9PQU678N&keywords=mason+jars+2.75+in&qid=1680635053&sprefix=maison+jars+2.75+in%2Caps%2C123&sr=8-5
When do you add the dirt?
You don't, unless you want to grow microgreens as opposed to sprouts
If the Sprouts do not sprout but just a little bit is it okay to re-soak them and start over again? They did sprout a little but not all the way because I think it was too cold in my house. So what I want to do is just soak them again overnight and start again in a warmer place can I do that?
If the seed already produced a tail, do not soak it in water overnight, because this might cause rotting. Just rinse the seeds very well, and proceed normal (spread them around in the jar and leave at an angle so the water can fully drain out)
