Add to Cart Button. US and Canadian researchers have found that many Brassicas contain antioxidants. And that a symbiotic relationship exists where combining Brassicas increases the total soluble antioxidants. Brassica is the Latin name for the plant family which includes Broccoli, Cabbage, Mustard, Radish and many other well known vegetables. Brassicas are very diverse in flavor and in the type of plants they produce. If you like these vegetables you'll love the Sprout version - if you don't like these vegetables you're more likely to like them as Sprouts, if for no other reason then - they are so amazingly healthy - full of antioxidants and the usual bevy of vitamins and minerals, etc. Brassica Seeds

Arugula Micro-Greens |
|
|
This mildly spicy Brassica (the same family as Broccoli, Cabbage, Mustard and Radish...) has one of the greatest flavors on earth! Arugula is a very fast grower which doesn't even need (and should not have) soaking. Just sprinkle some seeds on moist soil or a thoroughly moistened Hemp Bag or the ultimate Micro-Greens device, a Miniature Garden and watch your crop grow - in just 5 days - into the tastiest green food you've ever experienced. Once you have enjoyed Arugula you won't be able to imagine life without it! |

Broccoli*Variety: Green Sprouting Calabrese |
|
|
Famous for it's antioxidant content. Broccoli sprouts can contain something like 50 times the sulfurophane found in mature broccoli, by weight, so you get as much antioxidant in 1 ounce of Broccoli Sprouts as you would if you ate 3 pounds of fully grown Broccoli (These here Sproutpeople are making no health claims - we wouldn't dare - Broccoli sprouts are patented! We're just relating what the published research (©Johns Hopkins University 1997) states). Broccoli is a very tasty sprout - it is the fresh vegetable our 7 year old son likes best. |

Cabbage |
|
|
Cabbage is a small seed which produces a mild brassica flavored sprout. Easy to grow and very tasty, we offer both Certified Organic and Conventional (non-organic) Cabbage Both sprout wonderfully. Organic Cabbage is very very rare and expensive. Our certified organic Red Cabbage produces a gorgeous sprout with red and purple highlights while our Green Cabbage produces a more typical - though equally delicious - green sprout! |

Curly Cress Micro-Greens |
|
|
Also known as Pepper Grass, this spicy Brassica is, in flavor, something like Watercress and is a very fast grower which doesn't even need (and should not have) soaking. Just sprinkle some seeds on moist soil or a thoroughly moistened Hemp Bag or the ultimate Micro-Greens device, a Miniature Garden and watch your crop grow - in just 5 days - into a wonderfully tasty micro-green which will become a necessary ingredient in your sprout kitchen. Also a great crop to grow in your office along with other Micro-Greens, especially if you use the Miniature Garden! |

Hot2Daikon + China Rose Radish and Oriental Mustard |
|
|
(Hot Squared) A tangy combination of hot Brassicas. The Radish tastes exactly like a radish, the Mustard tastes like horseradish. Mmmmmmmmmmm! |

Long Life MixBroccoli, Red and Green Cabbage, Oriental Mustard, Cress, Radish, Arugula, Mizuna, Tatsoi |
|
| Though more than half of the seeds in this mix are certified organic, the conventional seeds outweigh them (Long Life is over 50% Broccoli), so it is labeled conventional. 8 Brassicas combine to make another delicious and nutritious sprout mix. In this case you get high levels of antioxidants ( We aren't claiming that mind you, but the statement is based on patented research) as well as the usual vitamins, minerals and amino acids found in sprouts. |

Oriental Mustard |
|
|
A wonderful tender sprout, this Mustard tastes like Horseradish - Mmmmm! This is Oriental Mustard - it is a yellow seed and is the only non-muciloginous Mustard we've ever seen and therefore the only Mustard you can sprout in a conventional sprouter. |

RadishDaikon +/or China Rose |
|
|
One Radish sprout tastes just like one Radish, they are awesome! This combo of Daikon and China Rose is absolutely gorgeous! It produces a beautiful crop of multi-colored sprouts and is very easy to grow. If you like Radishes then you will LOVE these sprouts. We have noticed (at our farmers market) that Radish Sprout lovers have a sort of spicy character - no foolin'. We provide these sprouts to a world class French restaurant (L'etoile) in Madison, Wisconsin. The Owner and Head Chef, Odessa Piper (voted best chef in the Mid-West in 2001) uses them as a garnish, circling some of her already awesomely beautiful plates. If you want either straight Daikon or China Rose, just tell us - the price is the same. If you want to grow Radish Greens (Seeds are planted on Soil or similar moisture holding medium and resulting plants are harvested by cutting) you should use straight Daikon - they just work better for Greens. |

Spicy Salad GreensDaikon Radish, Cress and Arugula |
|
|
An exceptionally tasty and aromatic mix. This one can be grown on soil or similar medium, a thoroughly moistened Hemp Bag or the ultimate Micro-Greens device, a Miniature Garden. Milder than (not as hot) the sprouts produced by these same seeds. A beautiful gourmet addition to salads - just scatter a small bunch on top. |
