The fountain of youth from a fountain of knowledge.

I do like this type of video. It is compact, immediate, and provides me with a path of direct action. Thank you.

Yes, more of these videos would be absolutely wonderful! 😄

What's cool though is my mother finally told me she herd broccoli sprouts were good for you after I told her for the last 3 years.

HI, I have been growing sprouts on and off for years. I used to work in a sprouting factory about 38 years ago and that's where I learned how. At first it was all about alfalfa sprouts. Then I branched out into other kinds including Broccoli When I had my first cancer 11 years ago I found out that Broccoli was good for fighting cancer. I'm on my second cancer now and growing sprouts again. When I first tried to sprout broccoli years ago I couldn't get then to sprout. I contacted the seed supplier and was told to soak them for only 2 hours instead of the usual 8 for other seeds. I've been doing this ever since and it works for me. I also just rinse the seeds in water to clean them and have never had problems. Thanks for all the info on the benefits of these sprouts I will keep growing and consuming them for the rest of my life.

I went through a whole pack of broccoli seeds with no issues, not using the soap/apple cider vinegar solution first to clean the seeds. I guess I just got lucky with the first pack. With the second pack, rinsing with only tap water (no soap/vinegar soak) ended up with sprouts smelling bad by the 2nd and 3rd day. They were discarded. Then I used your soap/vinegar soaking method on more seeds from the same package. This method worked perfectly and I just sprouted a big batch successfully. I now always use this method to ensure no bacteria remains on the seeds prior to sprouting. Thanks for your videos!

Yes this was great. Long conversations with lots of info are good too but it’s nice to have action focused shorts

100% do more of these videos Rhonda! i am a chemistry grad, so i actually have watched and understood and truly learned so many things from all your talks/videos. they have played a vital role in helping me transform my life for the better. and im pretty sure your channel was a huge reason i started to have appreciation for my education once again, as working in industry has not allowed me to use much of what i have learned in school. You definitely played a major role in the transformation in my life. i used to be overweight, lazy and overworked. now im healthy and extremely active. i can even do lotus pose now :) But i often find myself recommending stuff you teach to people all the time. but unfortunately most of the good stuff is way too scientific and not simplified/concentrated to the important points, normal people would get alot of benefit from seeing. plus i think attention span of most people is pretty low. so probably 5-10 minute videos is what most people r looking for. anything longer just sends their monkey mind into being lazy and not showing interest in it(less views). i bet you will reach many people with a similar format of videos like this one. would love to see more like this. thanks for all that you do! and hope to see a whole lot more of your beautiful face!

Rhonda, great video! There’s a couple of tricks that are important; 1. It’s important with broccoli and especially broccoli sprouts to cook the sprouts before you eat them. Nobody does this! But they should. The sprouts contain the epi-specifier protein (ESP) which will cause the hydrolysis of the sprouts to go in a direction towards nitriles and away from sulforaphane. So to maximize the sulforaphane we have to cook the sprouts. I’m never really sure if I have over cooked the broccoli or the sprouts so I simply eat some myrosinase containing cruciferous vegetable like daikon skin or radish or spicy mustard etc. to replace the myrosinase. 2. There’s a great hack to triple the sulforaphane precursors; simply add a scant teaspoon of sugar to the rinse water on the third day and rinse as you normally would. I will try to dig up the study that was performed for this little hack. You’re basically adding stress and the plant response by building more of its defensive glucosinolate (sulforaphane precursor). Oh, also, make sure that your iodine levels are good before you tank up on broccoli sprouts. Some folks are sensitive or don’t have enough iodine and the sprouts can deplete/block the iodine according to some scientists.

I love this woman... she is so real and so awesome. Thanks for bringing so much value to the world!

Love these type of how-to videos! Please make more!

YES! This is exactly what I wanted! And from the best person to get the information from!

Thanks for the video. You only need to soak broccoli seeds for 3 hours max. The smaller the seed the less time you need to soak it. Big seeds need about 12 hours but small seeds only need 3 hours. I've even spoken to a professional grower of seed sprouts and he only soaks his broccoli seeds for 3 hours. Thanks Rhonda for all of your great work, much appreciated.

One of my goals in the upcoming year was to start sprouting! Perfect timing! Thank you for the excellent video and the PDF!

Yes! These videos are perfect! Short video full of information for people who may not have the time, or brain power to sit through a more in-depth video! Please please more videos like this! 5 minute round up videos, with bullet points, and step by step guide of how to implement your vast knowledge into our daily routine! Keep up the fantastic work Rhonda, you’re brilliant! Xx

I like this content. No extra dialogue. Straight information.

Perfect timing! I was looking for a quick guide to start sprouting. Thank you 🙏

Thank you for this guide!! It was excellent! As a viewer, sometimes I think that collecting information is "easy", but putting it into practice in my own life is more difficult. I LOVE short, practical videos!

Thank you Doctor Patrick your info has been of great value to me. I am 67 years old and since I started your smoothies I have had less joint pain and I am still doing brutal Home Improvement work such as working in my attic and crawl spaces. What a work out ! My energy is off the charts. So much that at times I need a glass of wine to wind down and go to sleep. Love all of your videos. I saw you first on JR's pod cast.

This is awesome! Between the video and the guide, i feel so much more informed about this. I've done it before based off other youtube tutorials and random instructions you've given on instagram posts and such. Which is fine, but it's great and feels so much more reliable to have it all condensed and in a easy format from you two!

THE QUEEN HERSELF. Thank you Dr!

Short videos with direct actions change lives, so I vote for many more videos like this.

This kind of practical video is so appreciated. Very well done - not a moment wasted. Excellent.

Great video!! I really appreciate the work you do. So important!

Yes, please, more videos like this. Truly appreciate all you do for humanity.

I was specifically searching for a broccoli sprouting video and was pleasantly surprised that you made one! Yay!

You included a very informative step that I had not heard from anyone else: cleaning the sprouts with water & ACV to kill bacteria before sprouting. This is a wonderful & concise intro to the wonderful world of sprouting. You even included a link to a free 15-page guide. You are the best!!

I found this video super helpful and wish I had seen it before I attempted to grow sprouts from watching less-helpful youtube instructional sprouting videos. It turns out I've been doing it all wrong! I appreciate the helpful details about cleaning and soaking the seeds and then rinsing them 10 times. I'm a big fan Rhonda and have been sharing your videos with my clients, friends, and family. Thanks for educating us!

Yes, focused videos on how to apply the science in the best way are a great idea

Bless you Rhonda please, these type of clips would be a great addition to your already fantastic content.

Any post or appearance by Dr. Rhonda, anywhere or anytime -> PURE GOLD!!! =)

This is great. Love concise and info-packed instructional videos. This is news we can use!

10000% more videos like this! This was awesome!

I dig it! Love this instructional vid as well as your shorter form videos where you condense the knowledge down for us. (Since I’ve watched a few longer ones and am convinced of your credibility.) Also- you’re one of the best listeners around! Thank you-

I'm a chiropractor who loves your videos. I hope you'll make more like this one because I can share it directly with my patients and they won't be intimidated by all the science. So helpful! Thank you for making my job easier to share this important information and help others.

Love this, love this! It appeals to me and I hope you do more and I thank you greatly for this!

I also use Todds Seeds.com as one source. You might be interested in another source for high quality seeds. These folks both sell seeds and for many years they ran a large spouting operation to supply fresh spouts to stores, restaurants and farmers markets. They have many shapes and sizes of sprouting containers. Including sizes in stainless steel which allow for growing larger batches, if you go in that direction. Their website hosts many pages of helpful instructions on a wide variety of plant seeds. One of my favorites is their “Long Life Sprout Mix.” This is an inspired blend of 17 Brassica seeds. As Dr Fahey said, not all brassicas have glucoraphanin the precursor to sulforophane. Dr Fahey went on to say, that brassica do have other isothiocyanates, many of which are good for you. The “Long Life Mix” brassica blend includes: Broccoli, Red Cabbage, Green Cabbage, Purple Kohlrabi, Collard Greens, Green Kale, Red Russian Kale, 4 varieties of Radish, Turnip, Oriental Mustard, Arugula, Curly Cress, Mizuna and Tatsoi. Hope this helps. sproutpeople.org/

YESSS!!!!! Please do more of these videos!!! The information is always welcome, but the DIY aspect is just as important i think.

Brilliant Dr. Rhonda. Great to see you again giving us all superb health advice. Thank you.

Thank you, Rhonda! I do enjoy these types of videos. Keep on making them! Broccoli sprouts are amazing :)

This was incredibly useful! Please do more of these!

This kind of video appeals to me. Quick to the point and has everything I actually need to know to safely get this done. I also appreciate all the background knowledge in the other videos. Thank you so much!!!

This was the most straightforward and clear video about growing broccoli sprouts, thank you!!

Powerful Dr. Rhonda Patrick. Train by day! Isethionate compounds by night!! All Day!!!

I am so glad you do all the work you do Rhonda! This was a great video. You make me want to start a broccoli farm. If I ever did, I would grow broccoli seeds. 🙂🍀😉

Awesome. It’s not just about knowledge on nutrition. It’s also about how to implement it effectively. Thank you!

I love your intense science podcasts but it is also refreshing to have a short How to do it video. thanks for all the great content

Great video! I appreciate the visual instructions. I would love to see one on your latest vegetable smoothie too! 🌱

What a contribution this woman is making to all of our lives. I became a subscriber to her foundmyfitness community just this week after listening to a number of videos of her. She’s doing reliable work and in my view is worth supporting not just for whatever I might get from it but also so that she can continue to do her work without commercial influences and pressures. Thanks Rhonda. You’re the best!

Yes! More videos hitting the highlights!!! ❣ Also love the longer, more detailed ones when time permits!

Please please please post more instructional / how to videos like this….you are an amazing informative resource and we appreciate all the great info! Thanks again

This is a wonderful video and straight to the point. This video format is wonderful and you should consider doing more of them. Thank you for sharing this and for your work.

Great video, didn't know to "sterilize: the seeds first!

Instructional videos is the best way for people like me to learn the theory. Showing how to do something while explaining the sience and reason behind that action is how my brain picks up information best! Thank you

Thank you doctor! These practical, easy steps are great

Love it, add more please! Im a wild food forager and was wondering if you have ever tried that? I think the wild mustards are probably the most nutritional dense foods out there. Wished I had the ability to get them analyzed

Love this type of video. So clear, short and to the point! ♥️

Thank you so much! I have been using the broccoli sprouts in my smoothies now for a few months. This information may possibly save lives. I am passing this on to my friends.

Very informative, particularly about disinfecting / sterilising the seeds before germination, and the importance of thorough rinsing and draining.

Keep these videos coming! I LOVE your videos and this was a great change up from the usual. They're all brilliant videos! You've changed my whole nutritional game!! You are greatly appreciated! Thanks Dr. Patrick!!

Thank you! As a fellow scientist, I enjoy this kind of content , where we get enlightened with beneficial compounds AND how to grow them! You're God sent and a breathe of fresh air....much love from San Antonio. Stay safe and keep well. 💘

LOVE THIS VIDEO, HIGHLY INFORMATIVE. YES MAKE SOME MORE OF THESE SHORT VIDEOS... THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR KNOWLEDGE AND INFORMATION.

Thank you for this sprouting update.

We need a video on your skin care routine.

I would love to see your method of separating the husks from the sprouts.

Thank you Dr. Rhonda.. You’re my go to Dr.

Love this kind of video, quick with detailed information. Thank you.

I love the countdown. Such a good idea

Rhonda - Thanks again for a terrific video! I started sprouting because of you. It is a amazing public service. The world would be a lot healthier if we all sprouted. Question: Sometimes the sprouts develop mold and smell terrible even after pre-treating the seeds. Do you recommend discarding the sprouts at this point or treating again with apple cider vinegar and soap? I hate to throw them out. This happens about 25% of the time form me. Very frustrating!

Great vid, easy to follow directions on starting sprouts, love it. More like this would be great!

Fantastic - this practical advice is every bit as important as the science behind it.

Fabulous info-packed video! I'd love to see more like this 😊

Loved video! Thank you for doing this, my first batch were plentiful 😊 Does it matter what time of day to eat broccoli sprouts? I have been blending mine and chugging them down in the afternoon like a snack. Does it matter for nutrient absorption to drink on an empty stomach or with food/other nutrients? Or is the idea generally to consume them any which time and way I can?

Yes, the information is great and the "How to" is the cherry on the top.

Greatly interested in this video. Excited to start sprouting! Thanks Rhonda.

Thank you for this video! I have broccoli sprout seeds coming in the mail for the first time, so this was great timing. Vain request incoming: Could you do a video on the science of using nutrition to prevent facial wrinkles as we age? I know nutritious foods helps skin stay elastic, but if I knew exactly how, and exactly which foods were best, I might remember to eat them more.

Love this video format, really useful!

I liked the video format, and it was easy to watch again and again.

Question: What about the 70 degrees celsius for 10 minutes? Is that old info that isn't up to date?

Are the sprouts suppose to stink even if you get the process right or is smell a sign that something went wrong?

You are brilliant! Thank you, Rhonda🌼

Always a pleasure seeing you Doc! Thanks for the vid

Great video, Dr. Patrick! However, you forgot to mention the critical importance of quality seeds. The sulforaphane potential from the sprouts is only as impactful as the Glucoraphanin content in the seeds. I highly suggest that you consider this as a talking point in the future to spread awareness to your viewers. In theory, you could eat 10 pounds of sprouts grown from a seed with low Glucoraphanin and not achieve close to the same sulforaphane conversion if you consumed 1 pound of sprouts from a seed that contained high Glucoraphanin levels. I'd love to hear your feedback! Keep up the great work :)

Isn't the soap or bleach absorbed by the seed? During the current carona outbreak we are asked not to wash our produce using soap, how is this any different?

Your how to videos are great doc, keep them coming thank you

I love someone that's into health and really knows what she is talking about. I was on fense about joining foundmyfitness but this kind of thing is tiping the scales to join.

1:27 begin sprouting instructions here.

Confession: I have a bit of a crush on Dr. Rhonda.

Such a huge fan! So grateful for what you do! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Thank you! We had given up on sprouting broccoli because we had to throw so many smelly seeds out. We tried H202 (2%) for 6 hours, poured the water out once (no rinsing as per the found video info) and then sprouted and rinsed for the next 4 days. We are going to follow your directions. Thank you so much!

I've seen a lot of other videos on this topic and NONE of them mention putting bleach or anything else in to remove bacteria. NO WAY will I personally be putting bleach on my food. But I'm just curious as to WHY you are suggesting this when no one else is?

the low views on this one are almost a crime, thanks

Thank you! I just finally bought sprouting jars and wanted to get started with knowing how to keep it safe for myself and my daughter. I’m excited to give this a whirl, I appreciate you including safety information. ❤🎉

Thank You, for the quick and clear instructions !

YES! More shorts with great advice! Thanks!

Incredible video! Thank you for the vital information!

Incredible video! Perfect compliment to your more theoretical content. Thank you Rhonda, wishing you a super successful 2021 in all areas of life. 🙏❤️

this is golden, thank you Rhonda ❤️
