Broccoli
Seeds
Broccoli seeds
are sprouted in the same way as Alfalfa and also in soil in flats or
the garden. Pay careful attention to drain thoroughly when prepared
in jars as they mold easily. Attractive lobed leaves and very
pleasant flavor. An excellent addition to your sprouting mix.
-
Basic Sprouting Instructions: Place in a roomy container such as
a quart (using up to 1 teaspoon of seed) or gallon jar (up to 3
tablespoons of seed). Soak in warm water 4 to 6 hours using
enough water to keep seeds covered with water. Cover with a
loose woven fabric, nylon stocking or mesh secured down by
elastic or a rubber band. Rinse and thoroughly drain 2-3 times
daily until sprouts are of desired length. Sprouting them in
indirect sunlight will help them develop green leaves. Swish out
seed caps in a basin of water if desired.
-
Seeds for sprouting should be soaked, prior to sprouting for 5
minutes in warm water of pH6-7 with household bleach at the rate
of 2 tablespoons per 1 2/3 qt of water.
-
Broccoli seed sprouts are good sources of Vitamin C & A,
minerals, including trace minerals.
