Amazingly after 3 days sprouting, the compound Sulforaphane is between 10-100 times more concentrated in sprouting seed than in the mature vegetable - and it s a powerful blocking agent against cancer. Broccoli sprouts also contain Sinigrin which persuades the pre-cancerous cells to commit suicide. It is believed it has so powerful an effect that the occasional meal of young broccoli sprouts may destroy cancerous cells in the colon. They should always be eaten fresh with other salad vegetables, not cooked, and have a most pleasant tangy flavour. Full details supplied with each order.

Sowing Instructions

Sow into a well raked soil, where the plants are to be cropped.

They can also be sown indoors in trays of seed compost. Germination takes 4 -10 days at 18-20C (65-70F). Transplant into boxes when large enough to handle. Plant out when they have developed 2-3 true leaves and water well.

Growing Instructions

Thin out the seedlings gradually to 20cm (8in) apart. For best results grow in a rich, fertile soil and water regularly.
