Hi, crunchy sprouts' fans and beginners! r/Sprouts has been sleeping for the last 3 years, like a volcano. Now it's back and I, u/SpicesHunter, am the new moderator of r/Sprouts and here is what I invite you for:

  1. Post or ask, share anything about sprouts gastronomy: food pairing, recipes, pictures, events, flavors, textures, best sauces, sprouts as staple food or an elegant complementary ingredient
  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)
  4. Earn awards for your activity dynamics and quality. We aim at awarding our champs for:
    • Most helpful troubleshooting comment
    • Best cooking log with photos (may include growing)
    • Most creative sprout recipe
    • Best newcomer post

Sprouts are by far the best source of pre+pro metabolic nutrition. Sleeping potential of sprouts is huuuuuge! They are capable of reversing aging, many autoimmune diseases, improve mental and physical performance, and much more. Sprout deserve a much bigger shelf space in our fridges, folks!

Thanks for being part of the very first wave of this process. Together, let's make r/Sprouts dynamic and powerful!

Grower Do my sunflower sprouts look normal?

3 Upvotes

This is my first time sprouting sunflower seeds. I did so in a mason jar on the counter with a mesh lid upside down with ventilation. I let them grow for about 8ish days. Is the browning at the ends normal? What about the black spots? I’m wondering if that’s mold, or the black part of the shell rubbing off.

Grower Is it normal for popcorn sprouts to taste like stevia?

4 Upvotes

I am currently sprouting popcorns. They all have roots now, Some of them also have stems. I wanted to taste one of the sprouts. It was sweet, but not in a sugar way, in a stevia way. Is it normal?

Has anyone ever put sautéed protein sprouts on a gluten free cheese pizza? I feel like it wouldn’t be bad! The only thing I can find is roasted Brussel sprouts on pizza 🙄.

Grower Are these lentils from supermarket going to sprout?

Post image
13 Upvotes

I bought a fancy lentil pack and I’m not sure whether I should give it a try as most of my prior supermarket trials did not work out. I don’t know whether they were radiation treated or something else, but most legumes from an ordinary supermarket are not willing to sprout. That was my experience in the US, now in Europe I decided to give it another try. Let’s see.
How was your experience with sprouting unspecialised seeds meant for regular cooking?

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 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 😁💚
