I had seen a video of someone trying these, so I thought - why not give them a try.I kid you not, there are amazing little things. They grow so fast. Each morning I would look at them and they would double in size. You can eat them after about 3-4 days. Very tasty. I would definitely recommend themKids will love seeing them grow so quickly

If you are new to broccoli sprouts, there are two main things that you need to know.1) They grow root hairs. The visual effect of this can be very similar to fungal mold, so before you bin them and complain, examine a few under a strong magnifying glass. You should find that the base of the shoot looks like a bottle brush with white filaments. The "fungal" look is probably just the accumulative effect of these hairs, so be certain before you assume it to be degradation. The hairs will mostly vanish with rinsing because they flatten to the stem.2) They don't tolerate super-high temperatures. A warm spot is fine, ideal even, but if you stick them in a hot airing cupboard or stand them on a heater without spacers, they may stop growing and get smelly. However, the warmer they are, the faster they grow, so it is all trial and error. You may need to waste a few finding the perfect temperature.Oh, and they need rinsing twice a day, morning and night. This is fairly essential. If you skip the evening rinse, there is a good chance that the root hairs will overgrow and knit together into a mat. You'll never separate them. And the sprouts will become fibrous and chewy. Plus, they may develop bacteria. But, besides that, they are relatively easy to grow.Best of luck.

Germinates well, good strong microgreens with a nice flavour. However, I bought for the sulforaphane content, and would like it if there could be some official confirmation that they are broccoli calabrese seeds. The short video left by Amazon Customer on 3 June 2022 shows the fully grown product looking like wild cabbage (search Wikipedia brassica oleracea (var. oleracea) for a picture). I'll probably try growing it out myself in the spring.

Very new to the sprouting revolution I wanted to get off to the best possible start. These broccoli seeds germinated quickly and within a few days in a sprouting jar were ready to eat - and were delicious, crisp and fresh tasting. Following the simple rules of sprouting has led to success every time. Already an essential part of my daily diet

I put two tablespoons of seeds in a wide fermenting jar, soak for 12 hours and rinse thoroughly once a day. As another reviewer said, I think the secret is not to let them sit in any water. I don't bother with any cover but use a nylon sieve to drain them each day. It is then much easier to spread the seeds out more evenly and to drain them properly.I cover with the jar completely with a tea towel, as instructed, and then put it uncovered on the window sill on day 5 to get some sunlight., after which they are then ready to eat. I store them in the fridge and eat them over the next few days. This has worked brilliantly every time.These seeds are not cheap but obviously much cheaper than if you bought ready grown sprouts from a shop.

Not very good at growing these seeds.

I’ve sprouted seeds for a long while but not broccoli before, & was mindful of some reports of attempts having failed. But I was careful to rinse them only once each day & to shake out all of the water, & to keep the sprouts covered, & voilà, after 4 days have a jar-full of well-sprouted, healthy looking sprouts from only one tablespoon of seeds! Very pleased. (It’s worth noting for some who perhaps aren’t aware: these are the, optimal, Calabrese seeds & not the raab seeds some other vendors are selling, the raab seeds are also broccoli seeds but have significantly less nutritional value.) The seeds were also sent out promptly & are in a resealable pouch. So, very pleased with my purchase.

Took a long time to sprout. I’ve sprouted on and off for years, usually alfalfa or broccoli raab but other stuff too. These took well over a week to get even small spouts and then went bad. I’ll try again, but probably wouldn’t buy again
