How to grow them:

1. Add 2 tablespoons of broccoli sprouting seeds to a widemouthed quart jar.
2. Cover with a few inches of filtered water and cap with the sprouting lid.
3. Store in a warm, dark place overnight. I use a kitchen cabinet for this.
4. The next morning, drain the liquid off and rinse with fresh water. Be sure to drain all the water off.
5. Repeat this 2-3 times a day. Continue to store your seeds in a warm, dark place. After a few days, the seeds will start to break open and grow. The biology major in me is absolutely enamored with this process!
6. Eventually, the sprouts will be an inch or so long and have yellow leaves. Now you can move the sprouts out into the sunlight.
7. Continue to rinse them 3-4 times a day until the leaves are dark green. Now they are ready to eat!

You can add them to pretty much anything you eat and put them in your smoothies and juices!
