[isdntekvideo]The secret to growing SUPER Charged Kale sprouts is to use soak in bio-activated organic nutrients, initially overnight e.g. for 8 hours and then each day for 10-30mins, then rinse/drain for another three or four days, and in the last few days remove any husk or un-sprouted material, then secure the cover and place in the fridge where it will continue to grow for at least a week (Loose Sprouts Colander, Jar etc).
NB- Kale is a slow sprouter as you can see from the germination test it took almost 2 weeks whereas Alfalfa is ready in 5 to 6 days Broccoli 6 to 7 days. Also to note small sprouts such as Alfalfa or Broccoli Kale can form a tight mesh, which can lead to overheating and also makes it harder to get rid of un-sprouted material such as husk (the outer covering of the seed which is shed when the seed sprouts), so we suggest you mix these with a larger sprout, the best one we have found for this is red arrow Radish, this creates more air and space between the sprouts diminishing the chances of these problems occurring.

The advantages of our sprouting colanders:
1- The colanders come with their own drip bowl .
2- They have different drainage settings i.e. they can be set flat e.g. use for the 1st few days and then at an angle for even better drainage and aeration as the sprout mass becomes larger.
3- They also come with a flat perforated optional lid/cover
- ensures they do not dry out but still allowing good aeration
- allows for excellent storage conditions in your fridge , you can even stack several on top of each other. I use them with the lid on flat in a cool dark place for the 1st few days, I then place them in the light, again with the lid on but at an angle, ie as the sprouts become denser they need more air. For the last few days I either divide them into 2 separate colanders, there is a version available with large slots in the base that can be used at this stage to aid in husk removal, personally I combine several small colanders into one large colander for the final greening and de-husking process and then store the large colander in the fridge with the cover in place. This gives you an excellent cycling system whereby you immediately restart one of the smaller colanders.
4- Another difference with our sprouting technique is that we supply bio-activated organic nutrients which you soak the seeds and sprouts in once a day, what this means is that the nutritional content is many times greater than if you just rinse them each day in water, basically what is happening here is that the organic nutrients contain 99% of the major and micro trace elements (Azomite, Dolomite, Kelp, Humate- decomposed prehistoric plant s etc), these are then fermented to make them more easily absorbed by the sprouts, which then present these minerals and trace elements in a bio-available form to you, truly giving you a super food . This also means that they will last longer in the fridge not to mention they taste better .
My favourite combinations are
- Broccoli, Radish (Red Arrow), Alfalfa, the other mix that I do is Fenugreek and Radish (Red Arrow), e.g. preferred mix is 75ml Broccoli, 75ml Alfalfa, 75ml Red Arrow Radish. This gives you 1 full 4ltr colander of yummy tangy sprouts.
- Fenugreek and Radish (Red Arrow) - 4ltr colander.
- And 1.5L colander of red Lentils sprouts.
