How to grow Broccoli Sprouts in jar
-
Place the seeds in the jar, cover the top with
cheesecloth, and secure it with a rubber band. Fill the jar with enough cool
water to cover the seeds, drain, and repeat a couple more times to thoroughly
rinse the seeds. Refill the jar halfway with cool water, then let soak overnight
(8 to 12 hours) at room temperature in a dark cabinet.
-
Drain the seeds and thoroughly rinse them, then
drain them once more. Place the jar upside-down at an angle in the bowl to
allow drainage and air circulation through the cheesecloth. Move the jar and
bowl to a dark cabinet. Rinse and drain the seeds 2-3 times a day, making sure
they never completely dry out. They will begin to sprout (sometimes as early as
day 1-2) and should be ready to harvest in 3-7 days.
-
Once the sprouts have leaves that begin to uncurl,
place the jar in a sunny spot for 1-2 days so that the leaves turn green.
-
Transfer the sprouts to a colander or salad spinner
and thoroughly rinse them to remove any shells and seeds that didn't sprout.
Drain and pat them dry (or let them air dry on your counter), then store them
in a covered container in the fridge. Use the raw sprouts within 5-7 days on
salads, sandwiches, as a topping on soup or pizza - the possibilities are
endless.
