1. Add 2 Tbsp organic broccoli sprouting seeds* to a large screwtop jar.
2. Cover with a few centimetres of water and cap with a sprouting lid that fits the jar. Store in a warm, dark place overnight.
3. The next morning, drain the liquid off and rinse with fresh water. Be sure to drain all the water off. Repeat this 3-4 times a day. Continue to store your seeds in a warm, dark place.
4. When they sprout yellow leaves, you can move the sprouts out into the sunlight. Continue to rinse them 3-4 times a day until the leaves are dark green. This whole process will take about a week.
5. Once they are ready, replace the sprouting lid with a standard jar lid and store in the fridge. Serve on top of salads, stirred into soups or as part of a smoothie.

* Organic broccoli seeds for sprouting are readily available online or at garden centres and some wholefoods stores, as are sprouting jars and lids.
