How You’ll Make It
DAY 1
- Sanitize your mason jar by pouring hot water into it and letting it sit for 1–2 minutes. Then, drain the water and let the jar cool.
- Combine 1 tbsp broccoli seeds, 1 tbsp alfalfa seeds, and 1 tbsp radish seeds in the jar. Submerge them fully in filtered water. Close the mesh lid and let them soak for about 5 hours.
- After soaking, drain the water through the mesh lid. Rinse the seeds by filling the jar with fresh filtered water, swirling gently, then draining again. Tap the jar upside down to remove excess water. Roll the jar gently to loosen seeds stuck to the sides. Place the jar upside down at an angle in a bowl to drain fully.
DAYS 2–4
4. Rinse and drain the sprouts twice daily following the same method: fill with filtered water, swirl, drain thoroughly, and position the jar upside down at an angle.
5. You’ll notice the sprouts growing quickly. By day 4, they should fill the jar with fresh, crunchy sprouts.
6. Once fully grown, transfer the sprouts to a container lined with a paper towel. Refrigerate and consume within 5 days.
Tips:
- Keep the jar on your countertop but out of direct sunlight.
- Sprouting time can vary from 4 to 7 days depending on kitchen temperature.
- Always use filtered water to avoid contaminants.
- The white fuzz seen on sprouts is root hairs, not mold, and will disappear.
- Proper sprouting is safe and nutritious.
