Instructions

Prepare your seeds and water.
Add the broccoli seeds into a glass container and cover with water. Close the lid and let soak broccoli seeds in water on your kitchen counter at room temperature for 24 hours.
Pick one of the mini casserole dishes or a late with edges. Cut a kitchen paper towel to fit your plate. 2 sheets for the base and 2 sheets on top. Place paper towel sheets at the base of your plate and spray water to moisten it. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of broccoli seeds that have been soaked, and spread them around the whole area using your hand. On top, place another kitchen paper towel and spray that as well to be moist. Throughout the next 2 to 3 days, spray the plate to ensure the paper is always moist.
After about 2 to 3 days, you will see the sprout growing. This is when you can take the top layer of the paper out. Spray your sprouting seeds again at least twice daily, ensuring they are constantly moist.
After your seeds have been soaked for 24 hours, wash them thoroughly. Place into the mason jar or any other glass jar with an open lid. You need about two tablespoons of broccoli seeds per jar. Cover the jar with a mesh or cheese cloth and close the lid. Rinse the seeds once again and let all of the water run out. Place your jar upside down onto one of the small salad bowl.
Rinse your sprouts every day with running water and let the magic of sprouting work it is way. In about 5 days, you will see the fresh sprouts fully grown and ready to enjoy.

Notes

Moist - whatever method you pick, your seeds must always be moist. Once the sprouts are dry, they will stop growing.
Microgreens - are achieved with the plate method.
Sprouts - are formed with the jar method.
Sprouting jars - there are various sprouting equipment you can also purchase online if you plan the entire sprouting method regularly.
Location matters - sprouts don't want to grow in windy, cold areas. Place the jar or a plate onto a warmer part of your kitchen.
Washing - wash your broccoli sprouts every day with fresh water.
