Broccoli sprouts are crisp and refreshing, or anti-cancer products. Come grow them with me.

Green broccoli can be bought in the supermarket, which is good for health. Broccoli seed sprouts contain more sulforaphane, an anticancer ingredient-several times higher than ordinary cauliflower, so many people grow their own broccoli sprouts to make salads and salads.

It's not difficult to grow your own broccoli seeds and sprouts-- we have introduced the production methods of sprouts before and demonstrated how to hatch mung bean sprouts. Today we are going to talk about two planting methods of broccoli seeds and sprouts. You can not only eat them but also green the living environment.

Planting method of broccoli seed sprouts: hydroponic method

Cultivating broccoli sprouts is as easy as hatching bean sprouts, as long as you buy better seeds (natural untreated ones) and find a glass bottle.

1. Put the seeds in a glass bottle, add water to the seeds, and soak for 6-12 hours.

2. Filter out the water, rinse with clean water, drain the water (to avoid mildew of the seeds), then put the seeds back in the bottle and put them in a cool place.

3. Wash the seeds 2-3 times a day. During this period, you can roll the bottle so that the seeds are dispersed in the bottle.

Courtyard Show hint: most people will wait 4-5 days for the seeds to germinate before eating. However, scientists say that sulforaphane content is highest 48 hours after first washing and draining water, according to the latest research.

4. When the sprouts are about 2 centimeters long, put the bottle in a bright place and continue to wash and drain until the sprouts turn green.

5. Find a large bowl filled with water, put the green sprouts in, stir gently, let the seed shells float to the surface, and remove them. If you don't want to eat it right away, put the sprouts back in a bottle or other container and refrigerate them.

Planting method of broccoli seed sprouts II: soil culture method

Required materials and tools: soil containers with a depth of more than 2 cm, broccoli seeds

Key points of cultivation: put culture soil in the container. Because we are for the purpose of harvesting sprouts, the thickness of the culture soil is about 1 cm, not too thick. If it is to be cultivated into vegetables to eat, the culture soil needs to be more than 10 centimeters, and the plants should not be too dense.

1. Sow the seeds on the surface of the soil.

2. After sowing, remember to spray water with a sprinkler 2-3 times a day to keep the seed surface moist.

The next day, the seeds germinated one after another, do not stop spraying water, continue to wet it.

On the third day, the small green buds have already grown out, so they should be transferred to a place with plenty of light so that the sprouts can grow stronger.

On the fourth day, the seeds of broccoli sprouts grew a lot taller, but the leaves were not yet fully opened. Pay attention to watering at this time-in order to avoid seedling lodging, water should be poured gently on the soil surface.

On the fifth day, it was about 3 centimeters high, and the green leaves opened.

7, on the sixth day, the harvest can be eaten-just cut it off from the bottom with scissors.

Courtyard show hint: at this time, the leaves are thicker, eating raw is more chewy, and you will feel slightly pungent after eating.

8, broccoli seedlings grow very slowly, this is what it looks like a month later, about 10 centimeters high, there are 4 leaves can be harvested.
