Sprouting Broccoli Seeds | Fertility Naturopath
Broccoli sprouts are incredible for managing estrogen levels. I use them often for patients with high estrogen levels, cysts, fibroids and other estrogen-sensitive concerns.
1 cup of broccoli sprouts has the same estrogen-managing power as 7 cups of broccoli.
They can be pricey in the grocery store, so I thought I would share with you how to grow them yourself.
Here’s what you’ll need…
Items:
3 Tbsp broccoli seeds (check them out on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3AY22sn)
Filtered water
Sprouting jars (check them out on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3pfwBaw)
And here’s how to get sprouting…
Steps:
Start by covering the seeds with filtered water and soaking for 8 hours (or overnight).
Drain the water off and divide the seeds between your sprouting jars.
Water your seeds twice daily with 1 cup of filtered water per watering session. Be sure to drain off the water.
Within 4 days and up to 7 days you’ll be able to harvest the seeds.
Rinse the sprouts with cold water to get any remaining seeds off.
Dry and store in the fridge for 2-3 days or eat right away.
Here are a few ways you can use the sprouts:
On top of a salad.
On top of a bowl (like my Buffalo Chicken Quinoa Bowl)
In a wrap.
On top of scrambled eggs.
In a smoothie (like my Broccoli Berry Smoothie)
Remember, this does not replace medical advice. Check with your healthcare provider before making any dietary changes.
