Hello!

 

I've been sprouting broccoli seeds in glass germination jars for 2 months but I've had some differences when using cheaper broccoli sprouts from a different supplier.

The differences were:
1. Stronger 'ripe' smell (noticeable as you approach the sprouting area)
2. After rinsing (twice a day) the water that drains has a greenish hue.
3. When rinsing more tiny particles seemed to drain out into the sink as if the agitation was causing the sprouts inside to breakup.

Is this any cause for concern? I've eaten two of these latest batches and had no issues but I don't want to get ill.

My current protocol for sprouting:
1. Let seeds soak overnight in the germination jar (vogel Biosnacky Germinator).
2. Drain and rinse twice a day for 5 days.
3. Harvest. I let my sprouts sit in 70 degree water for 10 minutes, then sprinkle with mustard seed powder.

1. The more expensive ones might actually contain less of the precursors to sulforaphane. Sulforaphane is what gives it the "bite." I'd stay away from the ones advertised as mild.
