Broccoli sprouts have made news in recent years because of their many health benefits. They contain higher levels of the cancer-fi ghting phytochemical sulforaphane glucosinolate than in heads of broccoli, and contribute vitamins A, C and E, calcium and fi ber to the diet. Extremely versatile in the kitchen, tangy broccoli sprouts will perk up almost any dish, fresh or cooked.

There are several ways to grow sprouts; the easiest and least expensive is the jar method. All you need is a glass canning jar (quart or larger) and a lid. For complete instructions on how to grow sprouts using the jar method, see inside of packet.

If not properly disinfected, all seeds have the possibility of carrying E. coli bacteria or other foodborne pathogens. Please disinfect the seed prior to sprouting by soaking in a 2% bleach solution (1 tsp. bleach to 1 cup hot tap water) for 15 minutes. Rinse thoroughly.
