The BEST Method for Growing Broccoli Sprouts
Вставка

- **NOTE: getting a LOT of comments about "DUDE, why not heat them at 70C like Rhonda?!" Dr. Patrick did in fact recommend this at one point, but she no longer does it (I don't do it either). The fact is that you need LAB GRADE instrumentation to do this correctly, and you could be losing a LOT of sulforaphane if you just go a couple C over! Not to mention this only works with FRESH sprouts, and I recommend freezing them as we are not going continually. Freezing them increases active SFN on it's own, and combining them with Radish or Rocket sprouts (see below) yields another 100% SFN. Doing both these things (which is what I currently do) yield anywhere from 2-6x SFN! And best of all doesn't take ANY extra time!
DESCRIPTION:
Rhonda Patrick brought a great amount of awareness to this amazing compound, but I think most of the growing methods on youtube (including Rhonda's method) take far too long for what you get in return. With the steps I use you will end up with enough sprouts for several weeks in one easy 3-5 day grow. This isn't groundbreaking stuff, but it took me several iterations to figure out.
This is my first video!
UPDATE: I now add Radish seeds when sprouting. This has recently been shown to increase SFN by 2x and ALSO decrease SFN Nitrile!!

Perfect video, can't emphasize this enough. Slow enough speech tempo to comprehend everything without pausing and rewinding, music wasn't too loud, video switching between you explaining and showing different phases adds more and not just to be flashy. All is clear and covered in full in under 5 minutes. I wish I hadn't wasted my time with the other videos. Thank you!
Dmitri Abramov thanks! That means a lot. I'm not a video producer but felt like a clearer video than the ones out there needed to be made
Great video but not so good techniques laid out
so we can let them sit in the kitchen counter?
Well said, I found the same issue. This was on point.
The art is lost and he has found it
Great tip about blending just the sprouts and some water and letting them sit for a while to form the sulforaphane prior to adding anything else. It makes a lot of sense. Much appreciated!
Great Video, without the usual bla bla bla one sees in most videos. Fast and to the point. Thank you !!!
This is a terrible way to sprout seeds. When they are that crowded mold and bacteria can easily spread
@@raycrow3718 post a yt link to your preferred method of sprouting broccoli seeds.
@@raycrow3718 that's why you make sure everything is very clean beforehand. Its not very hard.
@@djthedadiofficial are you trying to say I'm not clean. Zerotol
What seeds do I buy? broccoli raab?
I'm amazed at how quickly your sprouts grow in 3-4 days filling the jars. Mine take about a week but I'm at altitude 7500ft.
OMG THE LITERAL BEST BROCCOLI SPROUT VID I SAW. Awesome. Thanks
Thanks for the excellent video. Nice job simplifying the process and boosting the sprout output. My jars were bursting with fresh sprouts in three days.
Been watching Dr. Patrick for a while and loved her research and advocacy on broccoli sprouts. Just picked up my first batch of sprouts yesterday and can't wait to try. Loved this tutorial, thank you x10!
Also, your recipe at the end was great, you should make more similar to this!
That's a great idea to freeze sprouts. If they sit around in your refrigerator, they can spoil. Also, Rhonda Patrick has a video on enhancing broccoli sprouts by heating for 10 min. Worthwhile to view in my opinion.
She's since retracted that recommendation. You need lab grade equipment to heat them precisely enough whereas you don't destroy any of the good stuff. Freezing will do almost as good as it's infinitely easier.
Thank you. Sounds easy enough. Special thanks for explaining that they need to be blended separately and sit a few minutes before adding to a Full-on smoothie. Hadn’t thought of that, but it makes perfect sense.
I’m actually interested in making broccoli sprouts now after watching this!
The best straightforward tutorial on how to do broccoli sprouts....TY. you simplified it for me and as well as many others I'm sure. I will be sharing your video.
Excellent video. thank you! I just heard about broccoli sprouts and you were the first video I watched. I purchased my lids and some sprouts and am ready to start tonight!!! Going to recomment your video to my daughter also!!!
You're right it is very simple, straight to the point, yet packed with the essential info needed. Thanks.
Thanks for taking the time & effort to create this video. There were some tips I learned from you that I had not seen on related videos. Keep up the good work!
Best video on broccoli sprouts so far, thank you!
This is PERFECT! Thanks so much for a direct and clear demonstration and explaination
Thank you SO MUCH! I have viewed several videos before yours without much success. Frustrated, I decided to watch one more (yours). I am SO glad that I did. Thank you again!
Cute cat! The smoothie at the end was an interesting surprise!
Thank you for the great video. Wonderful job simplifying the process and boosting the sprout output. I am on my 4th growth and I am using your video as my inspiration. I froze my last 2 batches and used one of them in my green smoothie, but I added the sprouts last. Right now I am going to make one using your method because you spoke of giving SFN time to congeal together.
Thank you so much for a great video.I have seen so many videos and read so much about sprouting broccoli that I was just confused and decided not to try it.
You helped me so much and I loved seeing your cat at the end of the video.
Thank you so much. I ignored many other videos because they're too long. You answered what I needed to learn in less than 5 minutes, especially the part about using filtered water and the correct way to blend. Much obliged!!
P.S. I subscribed in appreciation.
The only thing I'll add is, after you blend your sprouts, let them sit for at least 45 minutes, so that the chemical constituents produce the maximum sulfurophane.
why that long?

The best method of both making and consuming Broccoli Sprouts. Thanks for sharing!
I found a way to eat it, without getting too much stomach problems. It also solves the taste problem. I just make lentil soup for the week. Just 1 kilo of lentils, 2 cans of tomato paste, your favorite herbs and maybe some fresh ginger if you like it, 2 or 3 liters of water. Put that on for 30 to 45 minutes (depends what color of lentils you go with, I like the orange ones the most), use the hand blender to turn it into a soup and then I have 4 liter containers to put it all in. That is my lunch for the week, but that stuff gets super firm overnight, so I need quite some liquid to make it into a soup for the next days. So I simply use the method in this video and after given the process enough time, add it to my lentil portion of the day and voila. Great lentil - broccoli sprout combination. I add some other stuff to it that I like (marmite or white miso), some kurkuma with black pepper (part of the daily dozen of Michael Greger) and I’m good to go. Lentils make my stomach calm and they happen to be super healthy. Maybe this can help others as well.
The BEST video yet! Thank you a hundred times for no Blah! Blah! Blah!
Thank you for uncomplicating this. I can seem to sprout almost anything except broccoli! It dries out, gets slimy, just does nothing...😮 Putting enough sprouts in the jars has made a huge difference and now, I just have a bag of various sprouts in my freezer for smoothies all the time! Great video.
Oh what, now I've found out we can freeze them, now my life's so much easier as I don't need to keep in my fridge, yay.
And I have read that freezing makes them 3.5 times as potent.
Yes yes...like how he also showed to use them instantly and do not let them thaw. Apparently it loses something in the thawing process...
Half an inch of sprouts proved too much in my experimentation. Right from the second day, I judged that there would be over-crowding and transferred half to another empty mason jar. At day 3.5, both jars were full.
way too much. i use 3 tablespoons and by the 7th day the jar is full
@@1111111111202 too many days! 3.5 is correct then freeze them.
@@denisepaulsenful how many days do you suggest?
@@1111111111202 dr. Rhonda Patrick and dr. Michael Gregger, both talk a lot about nutrition and both harvest the sprouts on day 3-4 because this is where you will obtain the max amount of sulforaphane, after day 4, as the sprouts grow, the amount of sulforaphane decreases
@@1111111111202 check out Dr. Rhonda Patrick’s channel, “foundmyfitness”, he linked it in the description
Awesome video and straight to the point. Best one I've seen so far, and I've seen a lot. Thank you.
This is the best method I have found to do this. Thanks for sharing with us. When I make my smoothie with blueberries I might add a little moringa, maybe a tsp.
The video was clear, informative and quick. Thanks. I liked the cat too.
Thanks for the video! It was quick and simple. I can follow this with no issues.
Market Gardeners plant them in soil with worm castings on trays, harvesting them after 10 days. Seeds are OK on water alone for the first few days.
Well done vid. According to Dr. Michael Greger it takes about 45 minutes for the myrosinase enzyme to fully transform glucoraphanin into sulforaphane after blending, crushing, chewing, etc., the sprouts. Sulforaphane itself being heat-stable can also be cooked without degradation.
That's true, however, sfn rapidly binds to proteins and deteriorates if you let it sit. So once it has been formed, it should be consumed no later than 45mins
Great. This is my plan. Have ordered seeds, jars, screens.
my ice cream is great. Thank you again for doing this video.
Thanks for sharing your experience, and for being pretty cool about "this is my experience" vs pushy and putting your own opinions and bullshit in the video and getting to the point
You are so right! Your process has worked better for me. Thank-you!
Thank you! This growing method and food prep process was so helpful!!
Perfect. I was sick of all these silly hippy videos. I want to maximize my sprout yield. Excellent video and interesting calls with 24 hour germination and the much higher seed usage.
You may want to avoid putting bananas in your smoothie. Recent study shows that the PPO in them (same stuff that makes them brown quickly) will rapidly oxidize the polyphenols in blueberries and other fruits and veggies in the smoothie.
Thank you for the video! One issue: I let my seeds initially soak for 24 hours - just as you suggested and... omg- the next day they stunk-ity-stunk stunk stunk! Like... sulfer-y, gross, don't-invite-my-boyfriend-over-because-he'll-turn-around-and-leave-and-I'll-never-see-him-again- stunk. Since this is my first time sprouting, I had no idea if this was normal, but my visceral gag response told me to toss them and start over. I did more research and found growers who suggest soaking broccoli seeds for just 2-3 hours, or they will get over-soaked - which causes them to get smelly and ruins them. I live in a warm climate, but our AC keeps the house at 78. I'm going to try again. This time, with just a three hour soak. A three hour soak. (No relationships were harmed in the soaking of my broccoli seeds...) ps: I love the quick cameo appearance by your adorable kitty at the end of your video!
Yes 24 hours is long compared to most recommendations, and perhaps longer than I need. You can certainly try shorter times, and also be sure you're washing and/or bleaching jar & seeds beforehand.
@@djthedadiofficial Thanks! :D
This is by far the best vides I've seen, and I've watched a ton of them. So clear and straightforward. I love it. But, I do have two questions: 1. Does it make sense to blend the sprouts as soon as they're ready and then freeze them right away, or will that prevent the reaction? 2. You say you consume about 100 mg every 2 days. What does this translate into in terms of volume? How much should I consume daily, a packed 8oz cup's worth? More? Less? Thanks.
Thanks! I've only made a couple UA-cam videos but this is a topic I've been involved with a lot.
I think it makes more sense freezing first. So what will happen via the freezing process is the cell walls will burst, opening the walls between the various critical chemicals. When the mixture starts to thaw, the glucoraphenins will join and start to form SFN. Blending will accelerate this. If you blended first, you would immediately create SFN and I'm not sure how much would survive freezing and thawing, as it is an unstable compound. But that's just speculation, I've seen no studies that compare those scenarios.
That was a rough estimate, I don't measure with a scale of anything. I actually have changed my intake to every 3-4 days as I think it makes more sense for hormesis to benefit from ingesting SFN. I wouldn't get too hung up on the quantity, like everything in diet, consistency is King.
Best video on this yet that is short and sweet. Thanks
Ditto.
When you are adding radish sprouts, what percentage do you use, radish/broccoli? Do you sprout them in the same jar or do you combine the sprouts when blending?
Wondering the same!
I looked into this a bit, and it seems 10% radish seeds is a adequate ratio:
s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/wm.podcast.transcripts/wm346.pdf
be aware that growing the broccoli sprouts in this method increases the chance of mold spores growing along with the sprout. the high humidity and sunlight in a warm wet environment assists these not desired outcome. trust me... i know. I got sick. i here to forward grow my sprouts in a tray where sunlight and air mix together helping avoid mold spores from sprouting.
Hey man thanks for the great Vid. Don't know if you know this yet, but Dr. RHONDA Patrick, has come out with a new way to triple potency. Heat up the sprouts to 150 degrees for ten minutes by heating water up to 150 and then soak the sprouts for ten minutes in that water. Control temperature of water with an electronic thermometer that beeps when it reaches the desired temperature. No more freezing... Good luck!
Please read the video description, thanks!
@@djthedadiofficial THANKS!
You should want to freeze them..........not only to preserve them but the good stuff has been reported to increase 3.5 times when frozen plus that heating process is time consuming to do each time you eat a batch.
Great video. Thanks for being so precise and concise. I feel confident to give this a go now. Best video (after watching loads of others). Thankyou
4:10....the ore mix/blender recommendation was excellent!! Thank you!!
I love these sprouts just by themselves 😃
I heard antioxidants shouldn't be mixed with with dairy products (like that whey protein). The dairy product sticks and stops the benefits coming from the antioxidants. Thoughts? Opinions?
I haven't heard that so I can't comment. Other than yogurt I try to stay away from dairy as much as possible though, I am very sensitive to saturated fats 😑
Thanks ...im going to start growing sprouts just the way you showed it
Great video btw, wish more youtubers shared this mentality🙏🏻
Thanks for showing this method! I like options!
Brilliant video. Just ordered my jars and broccoli 🥦 sprouting seeds xx
great video, thank you very much! Just got a jar for sprouting last week :)
Awesome vid.
Very helpful, thanks👍🏻
Looks great!
How do you position the jars during the 4-5 day growing time? There are so many different ways on you tube.
Thank you we the people
Nice n simple. Great video old bean. Does your cat enjoy your protein shakes as well!?
Thanks gonna do this. Got sprout jars on Amazon too
Great information! Easier and I'm going to follow it. Thanks for simplifying the process.
Good method👍🏽 Could consider fairy dusting some mustard seed at the end to amp-up conversion of glucoraphanin to sulforaphane,,, or not.
Nice!
Hey @djthedadi
How much radish seed do you add withe brocoli seeds? And how do you know that radish seeds boost the SFN content by b100%? Could you send me links showing this increase in SFN with the radish sprouts please?
Really appreciate your to the point information. Well done!
i just saw another video of same topic and it was 20 minutes long. Well done
Thank you for such a good set of instructions.
Do the sprouts have to be blended, or can they be added to food as soon as they are ready from being taken out of the freezer?
I am sprouting seeds for my dogs to consume, and I don’t think they would like them blended with water 😬
so I shouldn't eat them without going to the blender first? it is necessary to release the myrosinase enzyme right? nice vid
You can eat them fresh if you'd like, it's just the taste is bad so most people don't do that. If you freeze them you have to blend them too.
Nice thorough video dude!🤙
Awesome information. I was half way before watching this video.
This has been the only way I grow them now, and the only video I recommend to others. I just noticed the part, though, about adding radish. How much, pct wise? I always eyeball the sprouts to roughly a half inch, or so. Are you talking a tbsp, or two, or just a roughly even mix, half and half?
There aren't many studies on the topic. I think the only one that's been done used 50/50, so I just guess about half.
Like your deep gravelly voice.
🌿Thank You🌿Appreciate the info🌿Will share soon🌿
I saw some info that the seeds, jar and lid should be washed with a 1:10 solution of bleach to reduce the potential of bacteria, etc. What say you?
Go through the comments, that's what I recommend everyone do 😉. Just be sure to wash out with water until there's no trace of bleach left and then don't open the jar afterwards to keep out contamination
I assume this desinfection is prior to the initial soaking, yes?
Btw thank you so much for this video!
Thanks for keeping it simple.
Excellent - best video yet, not a wasted word. Best tip on quantity (less seed gets too cold to sprout?) what about ambient temperature in kitchen? mine grow so much better in the summer (Santa Barbara but keep house cold). Many thanks!
Yes cold certainly stunts the growth. You can actually put them in the fridge and they will stop growing. I put more seeds because each seed has a certain amount of nutrients, the nutrients do not increase as it grows.
Mate where did you get those grey mason jars cheers
Very informative and helpful video. Thanks for sharing.
I started sprouting today. 😊
Thanks buddy
Awesome I never thought of that, my seeds are on the way. Thanks
Are you familiar with purple broccoli sprouts? I'm interested in their health benefits.
I refined the process down a bit further - once I see that the sprouts are ready to eat - i pour hot water on them and let them sit for 10 minutes - then I eat them all - with nothing added - they taste like radishes
If you're trying to heat them to increase SFN, please read the studies on the subject. Too cold and the heat will do nothing, too hot and it will destroy everything good. It's a relatively small window you have to aim for, which is why both Rhonda Patrick and myself have given up on this method.
Viewed a few vids now...Gonna do it this way! THANKS......................NO BULL easy as !
at 4:12 you say that if you add something else to the blender with the sprouts it might slow down or stop the sulforaphane reaction. Where do you get that information?
a Q&A with Dr. Patrick whereby she was asked that question. I believe she got that information from Dr. Fahey, I haven't been able to find a study on the topic
It doesn't take me much extra time to pre-blend it, so I'm sticking with that step
Thanks for your quick reply, and for taking the time to make the video. Short and to the point. I enjoyed
it.
Thanks for your informed and easy to follow tutorial, I'll be purchasing some broccoli sprouts today and giving it a try!! I read in a recent study, heating up the broccoli sprouts in 65°C water after it comes out of the freezer, further increases the sulforaphane. Have you read anything similar? Again, thanks for your video!!
The heat works the same as the freezing, it disrupts the cell walls. So heating AFTER freezing won't do almost anything. Heating is very tricky and you need lab grade equipment (if you get 5c too high, it destroys all SFN). I stick to freezing for those reasons.
Great video, brother
the best video, thank you so much. Blessings :))
You are perfect! Bravo!
Agree with Paul Z, thanks much!!
Wow you're amazing, pretty super easy way. I am going to try it and feedback about the results. thanks for sharing this with us.
It's been five months..where dem results?! lol
Thanks
Like your video and how simplified you made the process. Is there a smell before rinsing the growing sprouts each time?
Love that. Thanks
Learn to keep them in the jar without rincing. I have some seeds that don’t sprouts. So I need to remove them... like the idea of blending them . Thank you.
Solid vid ty!
Great video. Thank you. Can I eat the sprouts as they are, in salads etc? Must I blend them?
You're a sick guy Dj thedadi! thanks for the great content. liked and sub'd
