Grow Fresh Broccoli Sprouts at Home
Grow vibrant, nutrient-packed broccoli sprouts with our premium Broccoli Seeds for Sprouting.

Enjoy fresher flavour and higher nutrition than supermarket greens, right from your kitchen.
How to Grow Broccoli Sprouts
Sprouting broccoli seeds is simple, space-friendly, and rewarding. You’ll only need a jar and a few minutes each day — in under a week, you’ll have fresh, peppery sprouts ready to eat. Here’s how:
- Soak: Place seeds in a sprouting jar and soak for 4 hours. They’ll absorb water and kick-start germination.
- Drain & Rinse: After soaking, drain well and rinse thoroughly. Good drainage is key to preventing mould.
- Repeat Rinsing: Rinse 2–4 times daily (morning & evening minimum). Keep the jar tilted to allow excess water to drain and air to circulate.
- Growth: Within 4–5 days, sprouts will be ready. A little white fuzz is normal root hairs, not mould.
Grow Broccoli Sprouts With Clover, Radish And Alfalfa
Broccoli sprouts pair beautifully with red clover, radish, and alfalfa because they share the same growth cycle (ready in 4–6 days). Together, they create a colourful, nutrient-dense mix:
- Broccoli: Mild, peppery crunch
- Clover: Fresh, slightly sweet taste
- Radish: Bold, spicy kick
- Alfalfa: Light, delicate texture
Try growing them together for a balanced sprout blend that’s perfect in salads, wraps, smoothies, and sandwiches. For full instructions, see our How to Grow Leafy Sprouts Guide.

Why Grow Broccoli Sprouts?
Broccoli sprouts are the sulforaphane superstar of sprouting. Sulforaphane is a potent antioxidant that supports overall wellbeing. Home-grown sprouts are the easiest way to access this goodness, delivering far more sulforaphane than mature broccoli florets. Learn more about sulforaphane in our broccoli sprout guide, which covers everything you need to know about broccoli sprouts, including handy little tips that you really should know.

Seed FAQ
Seeds don't expire, but their ability to sprout weakens over time. With proper storage, your seeds will remain viable for years, ensuring a high germination rate for every batch of fresh sprouts.
Key Storage Tips:
- ✅ Keep it Cool, Dry, and Dark: The best place to store seeds is in a location that's away from heat, light, and humidity.
- ✅ Use an Airtight Container: Jars or sealed bags are ideal. For extra protection against moisture, you can add a silica gel packet.
- ✅ Consider Refrigeration: For long-term storage, keeping seeds in the fridge or freezer is a great option. Just be sure to let them return to room temperature before you use them.
Sprouting Seed Viability Guide
Here's how long you can expect some of our most popular seeds to last when stored correctly:
- 1–2 Years: Mung beans, peas, lentils, and chickpeas.
- 3–4 Years: Alfalfa, radish, fenugreek, and mustard.
- 4–5 Years: Broccoli, wheatgrass, sunflower, buckwheat, and clover.
If you're unsure about older seeds, you can perform a simple germination test. Place a few seeds on a damp paper towel inside a sealed bag. Keep them moist and check the number of sprouts after 5–10 days to see if they are still viable.
