In September of 1997, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine research doctors discovered that Broccoli sprouts can contain as much as 50 times the Sulfurophane as mature broccoli plants. They call this compound an antioxidant. With this simple bundle you can produce 15 - 20 crops of Broccoli Sprouts, each weighing in at around 8 ounces and each conceivably (read the original report on Broccoli Sprouts from JHU) equal in Sulfurophane to 25 pounds of mature broccoli.

The Seeds
1 Pound of
We've grown thousands of pounds of Broccoli since 1997. Broccoli is a quite easy sprout to grow, especially in cooler conditions. Broccoli does have issues with heat - especially when accompanied by high humidity. The Easy Sprout Sprouter helps compensate, but it's best to add a 3rd Rinse and Drain when the conditions are hot and humid.
As with all of our seeds and mixes - we want you to use our Growing Instructions. Besides being excruciatingly thorough - you can see pictures of the crop, day-by-day as it grows - and in many cases - like this one - a very detailed video, as well as useful notes specific to each crop. Our instructions are the core of sproutpeople.org - and they'll help make you a successful sprout farmer in no time.
The Sprouter
Overwhelmingly our most popular sprouter, Easy Sprout is also our personal favorite. We have well over a dozen in our house. It offers great drainage and the best air-circulation of any sprouter.
Easy Sprout is made up of a 1 Quart (litre) Growing Vessel, a Solid container/Base that catches excess Rinse water, a Small Seed Insert that snaps in when sprouting small seeds, two Growing Lids (1 for home (Domed) and 1 for the road (Flat)), and a Solid Lid for refrigerator storage of your sprout crop.
Easy Sprout is the best all-around sprouter. Period. It is the mandatory choice for high humidity sproutpeople everywhere and great for travel sprouting! Very versatile - Easy Sprout can sprout virtually any seed, anywhere!
Easy Sprout is part of many of our Kits.
