Posted by zzotte @zzotte, Dec 6 12:58pm

Mainly it’s for jeff Marchi, Jeff when reading an old post I came across a post that you may have mentioned an Australian Broccoli smoothie, can you elaborate on that? Have you tried?
Thanks

I became a kitchen grower of broccoli sprouts in two large mason jars about a month ago.

ÀI tells me the sulforaphane created by a multi-step enzymatic process with the sprouts (via a smoothie) is the #1 best natural inhibitor of prostate cancer stem cells.

If you’re looking for highest glucoraphanin content per gram, broccoli sprouts are an order of magnitude higher than any mature cruciferous vegetable….check it out.

Homemade broccoli sprouts are easy to grow, the freshest way to acquire and the most economical way to go.

Two SS sieve trays produce enough for daily servings for two individuals for 5-6 days, which is the time it takes to grow the next batch…..a never ending supply.

I’ve been making and eating broccoli sprouts daily for two years.

I also make a thick “veggie chili” that contains (among other things) broccoli, brussel sprouts, white button mushrooms, celery, carrots, tomatoes, onions, garlic, sweet potatoes, quinoa, turmeric, paprika and many tasty spices.

Not at all...in fact I occasionally modify my "veggie chili" recipe to satisfy animal protein lovers (including myself).

My veggie chili recipe is derived from information obtained in a study published in the “Food Chemistry” journal entitled: “Antiproliferative and antioxidant activities of common vegetables: A comparative study” and summarized in this presentation. See page 8 of presentation for the in vitro work done using PC-3 prostate cancer cells:

You can go so many ways with this recipe. Over the last two years, I don't think I ever made it the same way twice! Consider the attached recipe just a starting point and get creative with your own taste preferences!

Enjoy and all the best!

For those interested, I use Rainbow Heirloom Seed Co (Amazon.com).

2 tbsp broccoli & 1 tbsp radish (adds zesty taste).

Soak seeds overnight in purified water. Cover for 3-4 days, rinsing twice a day and “bumping” sieves (after rinsing) to minimize root growth through screens (easier to remove at harvest time).

Remove SS lid for 1 day to green up (cover with Saran wrap to keep moist); then harvest by swirling in large water containing bowl for hull removal. Use small strainer to scoop floating hulls, at edges, most hulls will drop to bottom.

Remove dehulled sprouts into large bowl. Pour off excess water and lay out on paper towels for 15-20 minutes to remove excess water (maintains freshness longer). I’ve never had moldy sprouts after two years of using this technique.

Place paper towel dried sprouts into plastic lid sealed glass container and refrigerate.

Two trays will serve two people for a week.

All the best!

Thanks for the info! Love what you're doing.

I looked up "sulforaphane tablets" and found quite a few you can get. My question is, are they as helpful as what you're doing?

I usually love reading posts here, but you guys are making me sick. I really prefer not to eat for dinner what my dinner eats for dinner. Blah...any recipes for a T-Bone smoothie? 🤣

@mjp0512 Gotta agree with you, bud…that chili might be healthy as all get out, but that mixture of all those different tasting leaves and stalks doesn’t send me. LOTS of curry or shwarma might make it go down… but why??
Glad you like it Alan but it’s not for everyone.
A few years from now they’ll find that cruciferous vegetables cause a different kind of cancer - won’t that be a kick in the teeth?😂
