Broccoli Sprouts, Ulcers, Gastritis and Stomach Cancer
It’s not necessary to have a backyard garden to put fresh vegetables on your dinner plate. Sprouting is so simple, a responsible child can do it! Sprouting kits and seeds can be purchased at your local natural food store or on Amazon.com. It’s also easy to make your own sprouting jar, using a wide-mouth mason jar, a square of nylon screen from your local hardware store, and a thick rubber band to hold the screen over the mouth of the jar. Clean your jar well with soap and hot water, being sure to rinse it out well to remove the soap residue. Following the instructions on your seeds, you’ll usually place no more than a tablespoon of seed in the jar. Seeds in the jar, fill it with water and soak overnight on your kitchen countertop. After that, pour out the water, and rinse the seeds daily once in the morning and once in the evening, by filling the jar with water, pouring it out and laying jar on its side or tipped with mouth downward in a small bowl. Within a day or two your seeds will start to sprout. Keep the jar where the seeds receive indirect sunlight, and within 3-4 days they’ll begin to green. Now you can eat them in salads or sandwiches!
Don’t let your sprouts get to big. Usually after about 5 days, you’ll want to stop rinsing them and keep them in the refrigerator. They won’t keep long, and you’ll want to eat them when they are fresh. When they get a slimy film on them, it’s time to throw them out and start a fresh batch.
