How to make Sulforaphane (Broccoli) at home

[Bolt_Upright]

This article is full of practical advice on making sulforaphane! To me, it is reinforcing my belief that broccoli and daikon sprout smoothies are a good method. epiphanyasd.blogspot.com/20...

It looks like I should be aiming for about 40 grams of sprouts a day. Searching the web I could not find consistent information on grams to cups for broccoli sprouts. One site said 56 grams per cup, another said 91 grams per cup. I have a scale

Thanks. I have never seen it so practically put together. Hi dvoranel , this might interest you.

Thank you so much Bolt. I'm wondering would that be to consume about 2 cups per day of sprouts? I have started using your sprouting method of 2 TBS broccoli seeds and 1 TBS daikon radish seeds in a 1 qt. mason jar.

So I got my scale out and weighed what I usually put in my smoothie. I lightly pushed it down in the cup, not so it was compressed but just so it was level, and it came to 1 cup and weighed 42 grams. Now this is 2/3 broccoli sprouts and 1/3 radish sprouts, so I guess I am only getting 28 grams of broccoli sprouts a day. Even though the radish sprouts bring their own benefits, I think I will take the total spouts up to 1.5 cups a day.

Here is a picture of my 8 ounces, 42 grams, of sprouts:

Thank you so much. The sprouts look beautifully alive and vibrant. Also, I have started adding 1/2 tsp oil to my broccoli seed tea as per Wriga's advice to make it more bioavailable. He suggested coconut oil but I've added olive instead because I don't like the taste of coconut oil.
