HOW TO SPROUT BROCCOLI SEEDS

• 2tbs Organic Broccoli Seeds
• 1cup Water
• 1 mason jar
• 1 mason jar lid

Place all ingredients in a mason jar and secure with a mason jar sprouting lid. Let the seeds soak in the water for 8-10 hours in a dark cupboard. After the first 8-10 hours, drain the water off, store the jar upside down, and rinse the seeds twice per day. On the third day, place the sprouting seeds on a window sill so they green up. Repeat the rinsing process for a total of 4-5 days or until the tail of the broccoli sprout is about 2 inches  long. Keep in the refrigerator with a storage lid for about a week. Consume a tablespoon of sprouts per day!

Broccoli sprouts have 20-100x more glucoraphanins which produce ITCs which in turn stimulates the immune system to attack viruses. These ITCs increase immune system cell-killing ability and heightens resistance to viral infections with impressive results (in vitro and in vivo study from the Journal of Nutrition Biochemistry,2008)

So yes indeed food can be your medicine!
