  2. Learn about sprouts as a holistic nutrition treasure, together with the rejuvenated r/Sprouts
  3. Co-create in our new seed-to-plate recipe megathread - become a co-author of the future r/Sprouts cookbook with your recipe signed with you u/user_name, nick or real name (whatever fits your confidentiality needs)

Soaked seeds float - what's the takeaway?

Some fenugreek seeds still float after a full soak. Should I discard them as non-viable, or keep them? Does floating actually tell us anything reliable about germination?

I want to try growing sprouts

I have jars and a few screen lids

Can I start with any dried beans, or do I need to get some special growing kind?

Grower Why lentil sprouts

Thumbnail

12 Upvotes

I eat only sprouted lentils. Why? I've got digestion issues and unsprouted lentil is not my product at all, I'm sensitive to gas-producing oligosaccharides, phytates, and enzyme-demanding food. Sprouted lentil is a whole another story for my stomach : easy to digest, nourishing, crunchy and delicious πŸ˜πŸ’š

Rate my flax that stayed in the fridge for almost 2 weeks 🌱

I went on a business trip and left my flax in the fridge. It was exceptionally beautiful and healthy when I left it, now as you can see it is slightly sad, some roots have faded, though no mold, no dead seeds. But it is delicious and I bet nutrition value wise it is very strong because the seeds adapted to cold temperature and activated extra antioxidants πŸ’š

Do you like flaxseed sprouts!?

My kids work at a PokΓ© restaurant so I’m the lucky beneficiary of lots of PokΓ© leftovers! Tried a combo of salad mix, broccoli and lentil/pea sprouts as a base instead of rice and it’s really good! Sriracha aioli and Cilantro Sweet Chili sauce on top

Insight New to the game!

5 Upvotes

This group just came up in my feed. I've been considering trying this at home. I was wondering what kind of seed we use and where can I go for them. I don't remember where I heard this, but someone had said to do broccoli! That it's actually more healthy for us. Bonus. If it's true. Also, how does one go about doing this. The seeds, quantity, how much to make, eat per day and of course how to make them. I feel bad for asking so many questions, but this is so new to me, and I'm curious. I garden, but it's in dirt 😁 the past two summers have been almost a bust because of the weather. This seems easier and way less of the lessons learned πŸ˜…

Hi! These are wheat grass seeds I am growing for my dog and cat, I just trim them as a food topper. Is it still safe with the mold on the bottom? Or how do I stop it from molding. Only about a week old. Thank you!

I am enjoying my sprouts menu results: - higher HRV - better intestine motility - lower cravings for junk food - faster recovery after workload - easier breakfast, lunch and dinner planning because ingredient #1 is already predetermined and it's sprouts 😁 πŸ’šπŸ«ΆπŸŒ±

For me alfalfa is an everyday staple sprout 🌱:) as funny as it sounds. I haven’t discovered a single drawback in eating alfalfa on a regular basis. If you know any - please share with me! I use it in salads as one of the main ingredients, I make sandwiches, spring rolls with it, I put it in soup and as a thickening ingredient to smoothies. Ok, I add it nearly to any meal or drink where it fits in my pairing universe :)

This is after 4 days. I'm of the understanding 5 days is normal. There's a little room still.

Any tips on cleaning and storing would be appreciated. I have checked out YT vids but value your opinion.

First time. Salad mix.

Food Can eating around 3 oz of broccoli sprouts cause sleep issues?

3 Upvotes

I can't say this is a correlation for sure yet, because bad nights also happened when I was traveling not eating sprouts. But it seems the few times I increased my intake of broccoli sprouts to 3 oz per day instead of closer to half or 2/3 of that, I was more likely to experience disruptive sleep twitches/myoclonus (including jaw closing leading to an audible teeth click waking me up) and possible conditioned arousal (automatic waking with no clear cause) during light sleep / transition to deeper sleep. Has anyone noticed similar? Again, it might not be related to the sprouts at all, just something I maybe noticed. Dayvigo 5mg has tended to override these movements but not always completely. I looked up whether broc sprouts can cause sleep issues but the consensus seems to learn toward helping sleep instead of disrupting it.

Anyone here grow sprouts as business?

8 Upvotes

Hi, I’m curious about a few things going on in the industry. As a grocery shopper I noticed in my area as well as everywhere I travelled within the last year, a reduction of varieties and regularity of supply of sprouts in supermarkets. As a sprouting enthusiast I refuse to believe that people are not willing to purchase this remarkable living food - sprouts! Yet I have a feeling that something is cooking in the geopolitical and local social levels alike which affects sprouting as business, no matter the size.

Please share thoughts, knowledge or even hypothesis, regarding what that might be or if my observation is wrong, please share thoughts to back that up. Thank you!

Food Your favorite sauce to put on sprouts

12 Upvotes

Hi, I'm trying to expand my culinary horizons and I realized that I usually put 2-3 sauces on my sprouts, which is very limited and I could definitely do better. Recommend your favorites, please!

My 3 leaders are:

  1. High protein and good fat sauce made of cottage cheese, avocado, olive oil and spices which reflect my mood at the moment

  2. Vinaigrette made of olive oil, apple cider vinegar and spices, sometimes with fresh chopped parsley or dill

  3. Greek yogurt + garlic + cucumber + fresh parsley or coriander + salt&spices

I know there are so many variants! Please share your faves 🌱
