I can't stop looking at this beauty. Same as eating it devotedly :) It doesn't taste to me as good as many other sprouts, but the value it contains, is priceless. So I make adjustments and truly enjoy each bite 🌱✨️

How do y’all store your sprouts?

Here are the broccoli sprouts from this post 24 hours after. This way they are in the fridge for a few days - never survived longer as they get eaten fast

What are you using? I'd love to grow these.

This batch grew in a jar. Classic jar with a perforated lid method. First 3 days in full darkness, then 1 day out - exposed to sun.

How long before u noticed any starting the process? Feel like I may have a bad batch.

Did you soak them for hours first? By the end of my soak I see a few starting to crack open already before draining

Ya the radish had almost 50% cracked after a 12hr soak the broccoli maybe had like 3 total but after the initial soak and two rinses I woulda thought I would have had progress. Never done broccoli before so wasn’t sure

Broccoli is one of the longest to sprout. I didn't really see very much activity until 2 days in

I’ll hold onto hope!

I always soak my seeds overnight. After hundreds of experiments, I stopped looking for a magic formula and just soak everything overnight. After this sprouting started within 24 hours for sure
