Instructions:
- Sanitize
Pour hot water into a mason jar, let sit for 1–2 minutes, then drain and let cool. - Soak (Day 1)
Combine 1 tbsp broccoli seeds, 1 tbsp alfalfa seeds, and 1 tbsp radish seeds in the jar. Cover with filtered water. Close the mesh lid and soak for 5 hours. Drain, rinse, and prop jar upside down at an angle to drain fully. - Rinse and Drain (Days 2–4+)
Twice daily: fill jar with filtered water, swirl gently, drain through mesh lid, and re-prop upside down at an angle. Keep on countertop away from direct sunlight. - Harvest
By day 4 (up to day 7 depending on temperature), sprouts should fill the jar. Transfer to a container lined with a paper towel and refrigerate. Consume within 5 days.
Notes: White fuzz on sprouts is root hairs, not mold — it disappears with rinsing and is totally normal. Always use filtered water to avoid chlorine, which can inhibit sprouting.
Storage: Refrigerate in a paper-towel-lined container for up to 5 days. Pat dry before storing to reduce moisture buildup.
Swaps: Use any combination of sprouting seeds — try sunflower, clover, or fenugreek for different flavors.
Tips: Sprouting is slower in cooler kitchens — expect 5–7 days in cold weather, 3–4 days in warm. Keep the jar out of direct sunlight to prevent bitterness.
This recipe leans on a handful of key ingredients to get its flavor and texture right. Broccoli sprouting seeds add a peppery, slightly bitter bite packed with nutrients. Alfalfa sprouting seeds bring a mild, fresh crunch that balances the sharper flavors. Radish sprouting seeds add the signature spicy kick that gives this mix its heat.
