“You can eat 50 cups of broccoli or a single cup of broccoli sprouts for similar nutrition and benefit,” according to the AHA. Here is how you can make them for incredibly cheap at home, and why you would want to in the first place:
Sprouts are very easy and fast to make.
- Buy cheap seeds on amazon
- soak a tablespoon full in water overnight in a mason jar (covered with paper towel)
- Rinse in the AM, and repeat for 5-7 days. You’ll get it

SPROUTS DON’T REQUIRE MUCH SPACE
You can grow enough sprouts to toss in your salads and sandwiches in a space as small as a dinner plate. I keep my sprout starter right next to my kitchen sink.
SPROUTS ARE SUPER NUTRITIOUS
When you eat a sprout, you’re getting the initial nutrition of the seed. All those vitamins and minerals that would have eventually spread out to dozens of leaves, stems, and pieces of fruit can be enjoyed in just one bite. The exact nutrients you’ll get, of course, depend on the type of sprout you’re eating.
Improved digestion health, heart health and getting your nutrition from the source – the seed are all so key. Try them daily for a couple weeks and see the difference.
