Other Brassica Sprouting Seeds

Follow the instructions below to sprout all our seeds in the brassica family:

Instructions for Sprouting Broccoli and Other Brassica Seeds:

  1. Rinse ¼ cup seeds, removing any debris or floating matter.
  2. Place seeds in a quart jar or other sprouting container. Add ½-¾ cup cool water, cover with a sprouting screen or mesh sprouting lid and soak 8 hours or overnight.
  3. Drain all water off the seeds.
  4. Invert the jar over a bowl at an angle so that the seeds will drain and air will be able to circulate.
  5. After 6-8 hours of draining, rinse and drain again.
  6. Repeat rinsing and draining 2-3 times daily.
  7. Tiny sprouts should begin to form in 3-4 days. Once sprout tails appear, move sprout container to indirect light for growing green leaves.
  8. Once sprouts reach desired length, usually 1-2 inches, drain well and enjoy immediately or transfer to a covered container. Sprouts will keep in the refrigerator for several days.
