In this short instructional video, Speaker A explains how to grow broccoli sprouts at home with minimal effort. The process starts with selecting high‑glucoraphanin broccoli seeds, preferably from The Sprouting Company. A quarter‑cup of seeds is placed in a sprouting container, washed, and then rinsed twice daily for about five to six days. The container’s design allows water to drain completely, and the seeds are gently rolled to coat the jar walls after each rinse. After the 5‑6 day period, the sprouts are ready to eat, as demonstrated by the final visual of fresh broccoli sprouts. Speaker B adds a brief appreciative comment.

Chapters

Sprouting broccoli seeds is not as hard as you think. Here's what you need. First of all, you got to get really good broccoli seeds. You want to have high glucoraphanin. I get mine from The Sprouting Company. Then the next thing is your sprouting kit. You put a quarter cup— this is a quarter cup of the seeds— into this container, and then you wash the seeds. And then what you do— this is why this container is so really easy— you do this twice a day for about 6 days. After you rinse them, you just roll this a little bit so that they coat the sides of the jar. You do this twice a day. Then you put it in this device, again from The Sprouting Company, and all the water drains out. There's nothing more that you have to do. So it's really quite simple to make your own broccoli sprouts, really very simple. And this is what happens after 5 or 6 days. Go figure! Look at these broccoli sprouts, ready to eat.
Beautiful!
