Organic Calabrese Broccoli Sprouting Seeds

Name: Broccoli Sprouting Seeds

Latin Name: Brassica oleracea

Description: Broccoli sprouts are probably the most well known and popular sprouts due to their health benefits. They contain high levels of sulforaphane, which is thought to have anti-cancer fighting properties. They also taste good and are easy to grow. They do not have a strong flavour, so they blend very well into smoothies. They can also be eaten with any other meal.

Seed Origin: Italy

Soak Time: 6 - 12 Hours

Ideal Growing Temperature: 15 °C to  20 °C 

Seeding Rate: 2 - 4 Tablespoons, Depending On Jar Size

Expected Yield: 4 x The Weight of Seed Used

Estimated time to Harvest: 4 - 6 Days

How To Grow Broccoli Sprouts: Fill your sprouting jar up with 2 to 4 tablespoons of seed, depending on jar size. Broccoli sprouting seed will yield you roughly 4 times the weight of the seeds you put in the jar in sprouts. This is dependant on how long you grow them for.

Fill the jar with water and let the seeds soak in it for 6 to 12 hours. Then drain the water and rinse the seeds. Leave the sprouting jar turned upside down to drain all excess water.

Daily Rinsing: Open your jar twice daily and rinse your seeds/sprouts thoroughly, filling the jar with water and draining it 2 to 3 times for each rinsing. Then leave the sprouting jar turned upside down to drain any excess water.

Placement: Place your sprouting jar in in-direct sunlight. This will allow the leaves to turn green, without the jar overheating in direct sunlight.

Harvesting: Broccoli Sprouts can be ready to eat after as little as 4 days, but you can grow them longer. It is best to taste them after each day and see what your preference is, and take note for future growing. When you are happy with them, rinse them once more, remove from your jar, an

Very Tasty!

I have never had broccoli sprouts before, but after reading about their potential amazing health benefits, I thought I would give them a try.

These sprouting seeds were excellent sprouters! When they were ready, I was not sure what to expect in taste, but was very pleasantly surprised at how great they were! While some sprouts eaten raw can have a touch of bitterness, these were the exact opposite.

Tasty

Really tasty and satisfying with anything.I get an almost smokey bacon flavour from them.If you want your sprouts to grow a little bit bigger, use just one tbsp, because these things will fill the jar in no time!
