Re: can I grow arugula as sprout instead of microgreen?

[Guest guest]

Hi, right back. araugula is indeed part of the cruciferous family.

ew

can I grow arugula as sprout instead of

microgreen?

Hi!

I've been sprouting greens for a while in the easy sprouter and large jars with

the screen on, and I'm loving it. Every time the half gallon jar fills up with

what started as just a 1/4 cup of seeds, I'm in awe

I've been using the french garden mix and I'm interested in trying arugula by

itself. As the sprouting method worked for it in the mix, I figure it would for

just the arugula too, but the website sells it as microgreens, so I'm not sure

any more.

I'm also asking because I have very low thyroid levels, and I was about to

abandon hope eating much broccoli and arugula when I saw this: " So even if you

have a thyroid condition, you can take advantage of all the cell-protective

properties of sulforaphane without any of the goitrogenic effects by consuming

broccoli sprouts daily. " Assuming same applies to arugula as it's also a

cruciferous veggie. Now, I don't mind doing the baby blanket and whatnot, but if

the microgreens are considered 'mature' (as opposed to sprouts), than I'll

prolly just have to skip it and sprout broccoli instead.

Thanks!

I've been unable to have much success w/ growing the arugula by itself in my

autosprouter. They need to be in a mix-otherwise they clump and get gelatinous

and gooey and get funky pretty quickly.I haven't tried the Easygreen method-so

it's worth a try, although I don't think it would work well d/t to the arugula

being gelatinous. Also, they are better in a mix because on their own, they are

very strong and peppery and not so palatable-and I'm into some pretty hot and

spicy mixes generally. I've had success growing them on soil as microgreens. I

recall reading of the difficulty of sprouting it on its own in an Easygreen type

container as one would sprout-say alfalfa for example, on the Sproutpeople site,

but I had to see for myself-and had little success. As far as the issue w/

thyroid, I'm not familiar w/ it and would have to research it further. I am

growing arugula well in my Aerogarden, but that to full maturity.

Thanks guys, I think I'll just stick with the french garden mix and the broccoli

for sprouting
