Todd's Seeds Broccoli & Friends Sprouting Mix, 1lb - Non-GMO | Fills 12-15 Jars - Non-GMO, Lab Tested, Chemical Free & USA Grown

These are an amazing group of seeds. I've been growing them in canning jars and they germinate FAST. Within 3 to 5 days I have delicious sprouts for salads. Amazing good. Get these. I'm buying more.

It took a couple of times to get my ratio of seeds and jar size to get it just right but now I've got it figured out. The seeds germinated quickly and adds so much taste and nutrients to my salads. Very good value and I love the mixture of the seeds.

These are the best sprouting seeds I have tried. They sprout and grow within two days. They taste great, just enough spiciness from the radish seeds within the mixture. Good value , and I feel good knowing I am doing a healthy thing for my body!! I use them on sandwiches :)

Tasty combination. Easy to grow.

I am OBSESSED! I am SO glad I got a whole half pound of these fantastic little guys! The price was a lot less than other competing brands AND they germinated almost immediately! I just started a new batch of sprouts on Tuesday and decided to use these in my Microgreens container as well the same day. I always do a presoak in lukewarm water in jar with a lid and shake vigorously a few times to agitate them to get them to germinate faster. It seemed to do the trick because two days later, they were already sprouting more than other brands I have used previously (see photos! I recently found out my boys love sprouts and Microgreens on their sandwiches and salads and can't wait to share these with them! I was expecting to be able to start using them next Friday (a week from today) but it is looking like the typical 7-10 day growth rate doesn't apply to these bad boys! Good thing too since I can't seem to keep enough of them in my kitchen! It's looking like closer to 5-7 days (but that also depends on several key factors: how much you water them, how much light they get, if you have a grow light or just keep them by a window, etc). I keep mine in front of my AeroGarden and the light on it stays on for 16 hours a day, so mine are getting plenty of light. I also water them 2-3 times a day. I love the variety of seeds, the amount you get for the price and obviously the quality is just second to none! At this rate, I am going to need another sprouting lid and another ceramic Microgreens container! Also, if you have littles or homeschooled kiddos, these are GREAT for science! Seeing and learning about all the stages of growth makes it fun for all ages; getting to eat your science experiment when it is over is just a bonus! LOL (Photos taken at 48 hours, immediately after removing lid off of Microgreens)

This was my first time growing sprouts. The seeds were great quality, and germinated quickly. It is super easy to grow, and the QR code on the package has easy step by step instructions. The price was good. It was fun having something fresh in just a few days. I didn't necessarily like the taste of this mix. I will try different ones and see what I like best. I would definitely recommend.

Update Jan 2017: I purchased a volume of these seeds last spring. They are still germinating at 100%! Experienced sowers should have no trouble with that. If you are newer to sprouting, then it may take a little learning. This is how I do it: 1) pre-soak the seeds in water purified with reverse-osmosis. 2) rinse twice per day in the purified water until they have sprouted. 3) with a gentle touch, mix with moist vermiculite. 4) I use 3 Tablespoons (about 30 grams) for an 11 x 22 tray. This is the weight before soaking. After sprouting, I mix the seeds with 6 cups of sterilized and cooled vermiculite. This seed mixture is then layered over 6 cups of sterilized and cooled soil-less mix of compost, sand and vermiculite. 5) All of this is pressed down firmly, so that the seed roots are able to get a good grip. Otherwise they will lift up on you too easily. 6) Some people like to layer over this with a damp paper cloth, or damp loose-woven cloth. Either should be sterilized, and if you are using paper-towel, then unbleached paper towels are recommended. 7) Cover over with plastic wrap 8) Stack another sterilized tray over it, weighed down. This is to help the shoots have something to push aqainst as the roots go down into the mixture. 9) I use an inkbird device that is hooked up to a heating mat and a fan. It allows me to set the temperature that I want (this seed mix has been highly successful at 77 F. I'm also able to set an acceptable range so that minor fluctuations in temperature do not matter, but if the temp goes beyond the range that I have set, then either the mat will warm up the seedlings, or the fan will cool them down. 10) The seedlings are kept moist and covered (this requires spraying the sprouts multiple times per day, unless you are using a nutrient flow technique) until they are capable of pushing the weighted tray completely up (To me, this means that they have pushed the weighted tray completely out of their own tray, which would be 1.5 inches of growth). It took 6 days to get to this stage. 11) The empty 11 x 22 tray that was weighted down before is now flipped over to give the sprouts another couple inches of growth while shielded from the light. 12) When the sprouts are again lifting the inverted tray up and off of their own, then I uncover them, and allow them indirect light to green up. 13) At the same time, I now change the temperature to "refrigerated." I do not want any more length out of the sprouts, I just want the greening to happen without any mold or mushiness developing, and I want to sweeten them up. At this point, checking the root system will show that the compost seems to have disappeared. Well done, sprouts! :) 14) Many growers use twice the growing mix that I do. Instead, I use fish emulsion fertilizer, epsom salts, and some micronutrients at the beginning when I moisten everything. This works well for me. The one feeding is sufficient, and by the time the sprouts have grown, the fish taste and smell is long gone, leaving only the spicy/sweet greens (if you kept them warm, then just spicy). 15) I keep these rooted and growing right up to use. So, last night after the spaghetti was done, then I trimmed some to add to the dish immediately before eating it (day 9 including the soaking time). This morning, I added some to my oatmeal (now day 10). 16) The humidity is kept at 40 - 50 % throughout once these seeds are planted. While pre-soaking and pre-sprouting them, the humidity is 100%. The only seeds that didn't sprout are those that I spill on the floor. Whoops! :) These details may help you to achieve similar results. Small differences, such as the pH of the water, can make a large difference. Using soil will greatly slow down and reduce germination. Slower temperatures bring slower growth, too, yet these would not appreciate a true "hot house" or much direct sunlight. They are too small and tender for that. I hope that all of this helps to bring you great success with your sprouts / microgreens! **** Original review follows**** The most important factors I consider with seeds are germination and taste. This has them both! I enjoy these both as sprouts and as microgreens. The varieties in this mix tend to mature at different rates for the microgreens, so as the days go by when I trim a bit for my salad, protein shakes, snack or other use, the flavors change over time. If you grow microgreens and want them all to mature together, "one and done," then select a different mix. If you will keep harvesting and let the slower seeds come up, then this mix is highly recommended. So far, 100% germination, every time. Fantastic!

QUICK SPROUTING: Very tasty, fresh seed mix sprouts Followed Todd's Seeds directions more or less: Rinsed with filtered water, then filled jar with water & let sit overnight, then rinsed Twice Two Times a Day (morning and evening), swirled seeds in rinse water, turn glass jar so seeds are dispersed, not clumped together, put in enclosed cabinet. TIP**: Used sprouting lids with little "feet' (Amazon) to turn jar over, allow water to drain into bowl. Used quart wide-mouth mason jars.

They all grew fine as expected and tasted awesome! I will definitely buy again

Some seeds are releasing smelly slime.. chia? This make the jar I use not drain. There are seeds in here that are not listed. Also, when I received my 2 bags that I ordered, both bags were broken in the Amazon envelope bag too. (The company gave me a $10 rebate. I should have got all my money back as the product is defective and I can not use any of it. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!

Should have binned these disgusting smelling seeds or retuned them. I dumbly decided to grow and now my house, spouter and garbage stinks. They grew unevenly and are absolutely discussing.

They consistently rotted on me. I never had problems with sprouting Mung Beans, but in three different tries, changing up my process, I could not get these to sprout before they began molding. Very disappointing.

Country Creek Acres Broccoli N Friends. Tried many times to get seeds to sprout in my sprouting kit. The seeds just turned slimy and would not drain through the lid screens leaving the seed mixture thick. No seeds sprouted due to this slimy mess. And they smelled awful. Would not buy again.
