How to Sprout Broccoli Seeds

Broccoli sprouts pack a much higher sulforaphane content than mature broccoli, offering anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits. To sprout your broccoli seeds, we recommend rinsing them under running water and placing them in a mason jar. Soak them for 6-8 hours, then drain and rinse them. 

Repeat the process of draining and rinsing twice a day for 3-5 days, keeping the seeds in a dark, warm place. Before draining and rinsing one final time, put your broccoli sprouts in the sun to give them that lovely green colour.

How to Sow Broccoli Seeds

Sow your broccoli seeds in seed-raising trays at a depth of about 6mm, sowing 2-3 seeds in each hole. Sow them between February and March, watering regularly until the broccoli seedlings are ready to be transplanted.

Broccoli seeds thrive in temperatures between 15-21°C, and mature plants can withstand cold temperatures down to -4°C. We advise planning your planting time well in Australia, as if you plant them too late and the plants mature in very warm weather, you may end up with lots of lush leaves but very few heads.
