BROCCOLI SPROUTING SEEDS

Broccoli sprouts have just recently become popular after it was discovered that they are loaded with the amazing cancer-fighting phytochemical ‘sulforaphane.’

Instructions:  Soak 2-3 tbsp. of seeds 6-8 hours in 4 parts water to 1 part seed; rinse and drain.  Spread evenly in a sprouting container. Sprouts MUST be RINSED and DRAINED WELL 2-3 times per day during the growing period of 2-3 days. Expose to light 3-5 hours to develop color at the end of the growing period. 65-75 degree is ideal. Rinse the hulls away by immersing in a large bowl of cool water, separate the clumps, let hulls float to the surface, and skim off. This process will help prevent fermentation. Refrigerate in airtight container and rinse 2-3 times per day to maintain freshness.
