Broccoli Sprouting Seeds

Organic Broccoli Sprouting Seeds

Our Organic Broccoli Sprouting Seeds (Brassica oleracea) are grown in accordance with the National Organic Program and Certified Organic by Quality Assurance International (QAI). Broccoli is a fast growing plant and if you were to examine it after only a week’s time, you would already notice the green leaves starting. Even at this early stage, Broccoli sprouts provide the full flavor of the fully grown adult vegetables. These sprouts have a rich broccoli flavor, and a small green leaf.

Reasons to grow your own sprouts

• Nutrition: Sprouts are baby vegetables in their prime. They contain nutrients including proteins, vitamins and minerals, and enzymes. Additionally, Broccoli Sprouts have vitamins K, C, B6, and E, folate, dietary fiber, phosphorus, potassium, and magnesium. Contains more protein than lettuce and spinach.
• Freshness: Eaten when picked. No loss of nutrients sitting on the produce shelf. Great fresh, flavors!
• Variety: You can grow more varieties of salad greens than are available in the supermarket .Your salads will come alive with flavor!
• Digestibility: As baby plants, their delicate cell walls easily release elemental nutrients. Abundant enzymes make them easier to digest.
• Space & Time: It’s Easy! Just add water! No soil. No bugs. No green thumb required. No special lights. One pound grows in only 9 inches of space.
• Economics: Seeds can multiply many times their weight and you can save money by growing your own rather than buying the grown sprouts. Instead of 1 head of lettuce, you get 1,000's of micro-lettuce leaves. You can have a delicious 100% Organic Salad 52 weeks a year for only pennies per pound!

Directions:

• Soak 2 to 3 hours – Place 1 - 2 tbsp of seeds in a wide mouth jar. Cover with screen and secure with rubber band. Add water, swirl, and drain. Add 1 cup cool water and soak for 2 - 3 hours. (Soaking broccoli for longer than 3 hours can cause it to loose germination.) Drain well.
• Rinse twice a day – refill jar with cool water, swirl, and drain very well by shaking and tapping jar. Invert jar and prop at an angle in a sink or bowl.
• Enjoy! Ready to eat in 4 to 5 days – To keep fresh, refrigerate well drained sprouts. Sprouts store best when fairly dry- do not store immediately after rinsing.

Packaging: The 4 oz size is packaged in a convenient stand-up pouch with a re-sealable zipper closure, and the 1 lb size is packaged in a polyfoil bag with a re-sealable zipper closure, protecting the contents from light exposure and moisture.

1 tbsp (approximately .38 oz) of dry seeds yields 3-4 cups of sprouts.

Storage: If you'd like to extend the germination life of your seeds, store them in the fridge. If you store your seeds in the freezer in a sealed freezer bag, they'll last even longer!
