When it comes to what vegetables should be planted on, it seems that this topic is not difficult. In the soil, in the water, in the nutrient solution, on the nutrient soil, the weird answer: planted on sand, etc., but the buds planted on paper Have you seen Miaocai?

Whether it is kitchen paper or ordinary white paper, or even in newspapers, you can grow vegetables. I believe many people have heard of this "magic" operation for the first time.

A tray and a handful of seeds can produce green vegetables, which taste relatively fresh and tender, and their growth cycle is very short. You can eat a stubble of vegetables in seven days.

There are many ways to make sprouts, stir-fry, cold salad, soup, hot pot are all very delicious. Refined milkshakes, collocation of various pasta, etc., can make many creative dishes, very special.

Sprouts-small size but nutrient-dense

In fact, sprouts are small in size, but they may be rich in nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and a variety of enzymes, which help fight free radical damage. It may be the most nutrient-dense vegetable in nature.

Especially broccoli sprouts are rich in sulforaphane, which is not only green, fresh, delicious, nutritious, but also has multiple health benefits!

Multiple health benefits

1. Improve liver function. Help the liver to enhance detoxification, accelerate the excretion of toxins accumulated in the body, and promote metabolism.

2. According to Japanese nutrition manager Chie Anaka, animal experiments have found that sulforaphane can also prevent fat accumulation and eliminate obesity and metabolic syndrome.

3. The content of sulforaphane in broccoli seedlings is 7 times that of mature broccoli! Japanese herbalist Mana Iwata did not say that as long as the intake of 50 grams, it is comparable to 1 kilogram of mature broccoli.

4. Since many nutrients cannot be stored in the body for a long time, they must be consumed every day, but the effect of sulforaphane can last for 3 days, so as long as it is taken once every 3 days, about 20 grams each time, it can really protect the liver and liver .

How to do it?

There is a big difference between sprout production and soil planting. Firstly, sprouts are not restricted by time, climate, light, region and other conditions. It is a very ideal vegetable planting mode for southern regions with rainy weather all year round. The lowest temperature in winter is maintained at The temperature of 15 degrees or more can meet the growth of sprouts, without the need to install high-end heating and germination equipment, which can reduce production costs.

1 Seedling tray disinfection

The seedling tray is generally 65cm×26cm×5cm. The seedling tray must be disinfected before each seedling. You can soak it in hot water and detergent solution for 15-20 minutes to completely remove impurities in the seedling tray. After taking it out, rinse it with clean water and dry it. be usable.

2 selection

Choose high-quality broccoli seeds with high germination rate, high yield and good quality.

3 soaking seeds

Soak the seeds with 20-30 degrees warm water, 3-4 hours in summer and autumn, and 6-8 hours in winter and spring, remove the shriveled seeds floating on the water, and drain the rest of the seeds.

4 Germination

Spread a layer of clean wet newspaper or clean gauze wrung out of water in the sterilized seedling tray, and sprinkle a layer of soaked seeds on it, and cover it with 2-3 layers of moist gauze to prevent the seeds from moving when sprinkling. Place it in the nursery rack, shading, moisturizing and accelerating germination. Generally, it will be white in 1-2 days, and the sprouts can grow up to 4cm in 3-4 days. When sowing, the density should not be too high, which will easily cause hypoxia and reenter the roots, which will reduce the quality and commercial value of sprouts.

5 Environmental regulation

1. Humidity. The production of sprouts has high humidity requirements and a large amount of water. It is necessary to ensure that water is sprayed 2-4 times a day to maintain humidity, and the number of water sprays can be increased in summer.

2. Temperature. The temperature of the germination chamber is generally maintained at 20-25 degrees, the highest is not higher than 30 degrees, and the lowest cannot be lower than 15 degrees.

6 Sprout harvest

Cultivated under natural light for 5-7 days, the sprouts grow to about 6cm, and the leaves can be harvested from yellow to green.
