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. It's a family thing =:-D 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. Some of the seeds on this page are listed as Greens as they are not sproutable alone - in the conventional way (see our Greens page for details), but all of these seeds will grow Micro-Greens - if you want to grow them that way. Brassicas are really great and very versatile! You simply must try some =:-D Brassica Seeds All of the seeds on this page are supplied by sources Certified Organic unless specified otherwise. 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! The secret ingredient in our French Garden Mix, Arugula was not available as an organic crop back in 1994. Working for years with our dear farmer friends Mark + Ila we have established it as a standard certified organic crop which has been added by many a wise sprout grower to their ingredient list. Arugula along with Cress (which has exactly the same organic history), Onion and Garlic Chive are without a doubt the most essential flavor additions to any sprout kitchen, but to us Arugula is the most essential and unique! Canadian researchers have discovered that the antioxidant content of sprouted Arugula is 2nd only to Broccoli! Broccoli* Variety: Green Sprouting Calabrese *Not Organic 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 (Broccoli sprouts were 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 14 year old son likes best. Our current lot of Broccoli produces large, delicious sprouts. We have purchased our Broccoli seed from the same farmer since 1998. Their seed always produces large flavorful sprouts. Given the almost complete lack of available seed, we feel very fortunate to have it! BUT - it is NON-Organic. We hope to offer certified organic seed someday, but for now this is truly the best there is in flavor, yield and germination. Though it is not organic, we, our kids and even our pets eat it, and have for over 10 years now. We trust the farmer when he tells us he uses chemicals minimally, and none near harvest of the seeds. Also great for Micro-Greens Demand worldwide is greater than the supply of seed, so the price is high =:-{ Cabbage Cabbage is a small seed which produces a mild Brassica flavored sprout. Easy to grow and very tasty, we offer both Organic and Conventional (non-organic) Cabbage. Both sprout wonderfully. Organic Cabbage is very scarce 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! Cabbage Patch Organic Red Cabbage + Conventional Green Cabbage A combination of 2 different cabbage varieties grown on soil or similar medium (Miniature Garden or a horizontal Hemp Bag) for their very tender greens. May also be grown as a sprout. Follow the Cabbage Instructions to do so. 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 similar medium, 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! Print our Brassica Sprout List Hot2 Daikon 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 Mix Broccoli, 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 conventional (non-organic). 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. Also possible as a Micro-Green. Radish Daikon +/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 noticed (at our farmers market) that Radish Sprout lovers have a sort of spicy character - no foolin'. We provided 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) used 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. Do you love Radishes? Spicy Salad Greens Daikon 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. Brassica Kits & Samplers If you want to take the easy, yet thorough way into sprouting - you can try one of our bundles. Broccoli Sprouting Kit For Broccoli Lovers or Newcomers! Our favorite sprouting device: The Easy Sprout, and 1 pound of many people's favorite seed: Broccoli. The pound of Broccoli will produce about 5 pounds of broccoli sprouts - over time. We've grown thousands of pounds of Broccoli since 1997. Our current lot of Broccoli produces large, delicious sprouts. We have purchased our Broccoli seed from the same farmer since 1998. Their seed always produces large flavorful sprouts. Given the almost complete lack of available seed, we feel very fortunate to have it! BUT - it is NON-Organic. We hope to offer certified organic seed someday, but for now this is truly the best there is in flavor, yield and germination. Broccoli is of course famous for it's antioxidant content. Broccoli sprouts contain something like 50 times the sulfurophane found in mature broccoli (ie - one 8 ounce crop has as much as 25 pounds of broccoli), but, due to a patent once held by the Dr. who headed the research team under the company name Brassica Protection Products, we prefer to not make any claims as to the benefits of Broccoli Sprouts or Greens or the seeds we sell =;-) but they are wonderfully tender and tasty - even if you don't like broccoli. Brassica Sprout Sampler Single Harvest packs of: Broccoli, Cabbage, Hot Squared, Mustard and Radish A great way to sample a variety of Brassica sprouts. some are hot, some are not, but all are very nutritious and contain an amazing amount of antioxidants!

Back in 2001 we were still using the phone. One day I was talking to a long-time customer while pushing my (then 4 year old) daughter on the swing in our backyard (this is what a mom n' pop business is like on the internet). It dawned on me that my priorities were severely messed up, so I stopped using the phone. I love to talk and I love to help, but my family would never see me if I picked up the phone again, and that's just wrong don't you think?! The very best way to contact us is through E-mail =:-) We are quite fast and VERY thorough. We love to help. We have been an internet only business since 2001. We are not a big corporation. We are but 2 people, Mom n' Pop Sprout. We decided after years of juggling our family's (kids, dogs, cats and even our own) needs, and the needs of Sproutpeople, that we had to make more time for our kids, so we stopped talking on the phone. All calls go to voice mail and have since 2001. We are very fast to fill orders and answer e-mail, and though we wish we could make the time to talk, we just can't seem to get more minutes into a each hour. We are many years older than when we started and our days are too short and made up of too few hours to do everything. This limitation in our business has not kept us from pleasing our customers, nor from growing (as we have every year since 1993). We do what we do as well as we can, and we think we do it very well indeed. We appreciate your patronage more than we can say. We ask that you use the phone for emergencies only and that you search our site for answers before e-mailing us. This site is bigger than any 4 sprout books put together, it is always available and it is free, and we know that almost all questions are answered here. Thanks again for your support and your many kind words. Sproutpeople
