These broccoli seeds are fantastic!
Oh My Goodness! These turned out AMAZING! I read good and blah reviews about this brand, so, I was hopeful but a little skeptical.*I measured out 2 Tablespoons of seeds and then weighed them (25grams) so that I can make a constant batch with the same weight for th seeds each time. (I like to weigh everything -LOL... and I always weight in grams as it's more accurate than oz.)I used filtered water for all my soaking and rinsing. I dont drink tap water so, it didn't make sense to "grow" them with chlorinated tap water!*I Soaked the seeds over night, drained, rinsed again and set them inverted in a glass bowl and covered them with a small towel on the back of the kitchen counter in the shady spot under the kitchen cupboards.*I rinsed them twice a day (9am & 9pm) every day. (I sometimes rinsed them 3 times a day because I was enjoying the whole process... lol -however, I think 2x is sufficient.)*After rinsing and draining the water out I tilted the jar around so the the seeds were dispersed around the walls of the jar so they weren't all clumped together (example of this in the 3rd photo) per some "how to" YouTube videos I watched.*On day 4, the jars were amazingly full of sprouts and I took off the towel and set them on the kitchen counter where they could get some light and start to chlorophyll up. They started greening up AND*TODAY is day 5 and the jar is jam packed full! and They are a nice bright green color.*I got 7.2 oz. Of broccoli sprouts from 2 Tablespoons of seeds.*Vitamix Smoothie: I put half a jar in my green smoothie (along with organic spinach, kale, & chard (the organic power greens from Costco), some pineapple juice (the fresh kind from Trader Joe's), a cup or organic frozen blueberries, and a frozen banana.*They have a potent strong brocolli flavor -so, I thought the broccoli taste might be strong in the smoothie. BUT, it wasn't! They blended in with the blueberries and banana and literally no strong broccoli flavor.*NOT that I mind the flavor of them by themselves. They are delicious! I ate the other half jar as a salad.Thanks goes to Dr. Rhonda Patrick for turning me on to the nutrient value of brocolli sprouts. This is a great nutritional addition to my green smoothie ingredient list! AND Sooooo cheap to make versus buying these sprouts. Plus making your own gives you control of the water used!*I ordered a 1 pound bag from this company. I will be ordering the 2.5 pound bag next time to save money as I am absolutely thrilled with this purchase and the results I got from my first batch with these broccoli sprouts.

Delicious and easy to grow.
I used these seeds for micro greens. It only took 3 days for them to grow to a micro green size. They have a clean herbal taste with a slight pepper kick. I’d buy them again.

Quick germination
Soaked the seeds overnight with a few drops of bleach to disinfect. Rinsed the next morning-by the afternoon, I had seeds sprouting.

Impressed with these seeds!
The picture says it all!! 2 jars of broccoli seeds from Rainbow Heirloom Seed Co on the left (green lids) and 2 jars of broccoli seeds from another company on the right (white lids).Followed seed growing directions. 2Tbs in each jar, started on the same day, rinsed the same way, grown in the same environment, and harvested on the same day, but TOTALLY different results. Rainbow Heirloom broccoli seeds produced sprouts that filled up the entire jars. They were green and tasted great! They are quality seeds with quality results. I also like that their seeds are vacuum packed when I receive them. The other company didn't send their seeds that way. Not sure if that makes a difference, but it seems like it could affect the freshness of the seeds.I'm on my third one pound bag! I will only be buying broccoli seeds from Rainbow Heirloom Seed Co. Love supporting small businesses that produce quality products.

sprouting rate is about 90%
I lost about 10 percent of the seeds each time when I grew them. Some of the seeds sprouted way too slow and some of them just too tiny or wouldn't sprout. However, 90 percent of growth rate is not too bad and the quality of the sprouts is good in general.

Very high germination rate, even repeat growth
This is my favorite microgreen seed, and my favorite seed from this company (I've tried a few, and they are all clean with great germination).I've never lost a tray to mold or disease, the germination is great whether done on mats, or in soil (I've grown to prefer soil for these, even though they are small seeds). There seem to be no off family seeds in the mix at all, just brocoli. The flavor of these micro greens is great, a mild and sweet brocoli taste.The seeds are so prolific, that I've even had them regrow a set of greens twice after the first harvest. As a note, if you try to get a second or third harvest, you might see some white filaments that resemble mold. If you look closely, it isn't mold, it's just root filaments from the remaining stalks, or from the yet to germinate seeds if they are near the surface.These are also lower maintence and less fiddly than other seeds I've tried. Now that I have the quantity and moisture right, it's just a 1/2 of soil compacted, drop dry seeds (I don't even have to soak these), blackout for 3 days, and bang, an entire tray of sprouted seeds. They also mature pretty quickly under grow lights, and I like that they last in the tray for weeks without changing character, so I just harvest them as I use them (which these days is often :)If I had to recommend one seed bag to my freinds to try and grow their first microgreens, this would be it.

Easiest thing to grow
I added pictures so that you can see how easy these are to grow. The seed picture is on a Thursday and the sprouted picture is on Saturday. I started on Wednesday. These are so tasty alone but will be great on sandwiches or salads.Tik tok kept showing me broccoli sprouting videos, I already have a garden but this will allow for fresh veggies indoors as the weather gets colder.• I added 2 tablespoons of the seeds to a pint mason jar.•Rinsed and then let them soak 12 hours.•Next morning I rinsed them again.•Making sure to get all excess water out.•Then roll the jar so seeds get stuck to side.•In the vending fill jar and rise again, roll seeds to stick on sides.•Same thing each day.•Making sure to get all excess water out and rinsing each am and pm will keep mold at bay.•I also did not keep in direct sunlight.
