Low Cost, Long Lasting!

Seeing the impact that rising grocery store and gas prices have had on our communities, it devastates us that it is becoming increasingly difficult to justify buying and eating healthy foods. We too would hesitate to recommend sprouting to the average person if it didn’t play a valuable role in reducing the grocery store burden. Sprouting saves time, money, and stress while providing significantly greater value per dollar spent when compared to shopping for vegetables. Don’t believe me? Let’s use broccoli as an example:

Though researching sprouting hauls on any website will likely tell you the same, having become an avid sprouter in the last year, I have seen the results with my own eyes. Just two tablespoons of seeds, or approximately 20g, can very easily result in over 100g of sprouts that can contribute to a week or longer of nutrition. With 500g of our seeds costing approximately 15$, over the course of this singular sprouting journey you will grow approximately 2.5kg of edible sprouts! On the contrary, 1kg of fresh broccoli will often run you 10$, so you end up paying more for less both in actual quantity, as well as nutrition! Not to mention, seed longevity vastly outweighs freshly bought vegetables! We understand that life gets tough, and sometimes things get in the way of your plans, especially when it comes to cooking. Instead of scrambling to find a meal to suit the vegetables tucked in the long-forgotten corner of your fridge before they spoil, or worse, driving to the grocery store to buy one vegetable because the one you needed for today’s meal went bad, you can relax knowing that the bundle of seeds you purchased two months ago is still just as viable as the day you bought it, and may last upwards of three years, exhibiting no reductions in germination potential (5)! Research suggests that storing conditions of approximately 2 degrees Celsius will allow seeds to be stored near-indefinitely! The following list details the seed longevity of numerous sprout-worthy candidates, so you never have to stress about the seeds you may have forgotten about (6).
