Re: The SMELL of broccoli sprouts

[Guest guest]

One thing that helps is to rinse more often. But the best is: Learn to love 'em.

My wife just complained to me this morning about mine. So I pulled a few out of

the sprouter and ate them in front of her.

ew

The SMELL of broccoli sprouts

as they are sprouting..... whew!!!

I have noticed something. When I have a mixture, it's not so bad. But when I do

MORE broccoli seeds than the others, man, when I get a whiff of the round green

tray, well it seems like they are spoiled but no, they sprout just fine. So what

can we do (if anything) about the odor of broccoli sprouts. I know it's the

sulphoraphane, right?

WEll!!!!

This morning (and these were in my cooler), I took out all the trays with

covers, and most were just fine, but the ones with the most broccoli were BAD.

Had to toss them.

I think I have to re-think my mixing ratio.

I have no idea what happened. I treat them all the same. Rinse and drain (every

12 hours) if in the cooler, and much more frequently if on my counter-top (with

an ice pack on top).

When I took the trays out of the cooler, the broccoli smell hit me between the

eyes. I said UH OH!!!

Sure enough, there were two bad trays.

I don't get it but then I learn something NEW every day about broccoli sprouts.

I haven't mixed them with anything...maybe that is why I haven't had any bad

experiences?  I am also blessed with the dry desert air and a good evaporative

cooler.  Certainly the broccoli sprouts are a little stronger than others, but

so far (knocking on wood) nothing offensive.

Melody - were these broccoli seeds from the new 2.5# bag you recently purchased,

or from an older supply? I haven't opened my 2.5# bag yet as I still have some

old Sprout House seeds.

This only happened when i used too much broccoli in the mix. I have been using

the new broccoli seeds for weeks now with no problem. I think i know now what to

do.
