How to Grow Broccoli Sprouts

Step 1

Soak the broccoli seeds overnight in a small bowl with filtered water.

Step 2

Transfer the seeds to a sprouting vessel and place in a dark, well-ventilated space. This can be either a pantry with a door or a kitchen cabinet.

Step 3

Rinse the broccoli seeds daily for 2-4 days.

Step 4

Move the broccoli sprouts out of the dark once the seeds have started to sprout and grow (on about the 3rd or 4th day). The sprouts should be about 1/2-inch to 1-inch in length.

Step 5

Harvest the broccoli sprouts once they reach the desired length after about the 4th or 5th day. The sprouts should be green and fresh-smelling.

Step 6

Rinse the sprouts before consuming.
