A. Vogel Organically Grown Broccoli Seeds for Sprouting

Broccoli sprouts contain vitamins A, B, C, D, E, and K, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphate, potassium, zinc, carotene, and chlorophyll. 1oz contains as many antioxidants as 3lb of whole broccoli!

Ingredient: Sprouting Broccoli seeds (Brassica rapa var. cymosa, Raab).

How to grow broccoli sprouts at home:

1. Soak the seeds. Pour the broccoli seeds into a jar and fill halfway with fresh water. Place to one side out of direct sunlight to soak for 6-12 hours. This is the only time the broccoli seeds should sit in water. Sitting in water is a common cause of spoiling. If they spoil, discard them and begin again. Broccoli sprouts grow best at temperatures between 18°C and 22°C (65°F and 72°F).
   
   
2. Rinse and drain twice daily. Drain the soaking water thoroughly. Place the jar at an angle to allow excess water to drain. Rinse and drain in the morning and the evening until ready.
   
   
3. The sprouts are ready to harvest in 4-6 days. They'll have grown 2-5 centimetres long and developed their first tiny green leaves. Place them somewhere bright for a few hours so the leaves can photosynthesise and turn green. Rinse and drain one last time. Remove them from the jar and set them out to pat dry with a clean towel before storing in the fridge.
