does broccoli seeds sprout good in these bags?

I am not sure. I use this primarily for bean sprouts. The smaller seeds I usually sprout in a jar or tub so they have room to grow upwards. It seems to me the smaller seeds might get too entangled in the fabric. For a great source of info (& product) check out Sprout People online, lots of great advice on technique & how to grow what, where. . . even instructional videos.

No the bag does not work well. Use glass mason jars with the stainless steel screen lids. You can buy the stainless steel screen lids for mason jars on amazon.

I don't know, but it seems like you could. They are live seeds, so why not? I know you cant use seed packaged to plant for sprouts because they put 'treatments' on those seeds, like to keep it from molding, etc. I would think that you could get seeds to plant cheaper though.

I don't know if you can grow chia seeds in the sprout bag, but I'd be very surprised if you could not as it is designed to handle all kinds of seeds. For a definitive answer, I suggest you contact the Rita, the Sprout Lady, at 1-800-777-6887. I have spoken with Rita numerous times, and she is most helpful. However, she is somewhat difficult to get hold of so you will need to be persistent.

I have no idea if they're good for planting or not. They come shelled in a plastic bag.

Yes they work wonderfully! I just put up 2 bushels of corn using these bags and my Foodsaver unit. No failures either! :)

They would (I have them sprouted: soak for 24hrs; drain; make them moist; Damp, Dark place, as in the oven). But they do not taste as well as soaked after 24 hrs. Asides, this is a great product. My 4th. purchase. (Hope it helped!)

Update: My husband soaked 10 of the seeds overnight and then placed them in between several layers of moist paper towel. 9 out of 10 have sprouted this morning and the 10th looks like it might also sprout, so he says 'YES' these seeds seem to be viable for sprouting and/or planting.

I believe the ratio is 5:1. So 1-lb. of seeds will make roughly 5 pounds of sprouts.

Yes they do! My mom sprout the bean all the time! And the soy milk is just so delicious! :-) Good luck!

I don't usually keep leafy greens in the mesh bags in the frig....I do keep mushrooms, zucchini in them. I use the mesh bags for trips to the grocery store for any kind of veggie.

I believe they would because if I leave them in the sprouter too long they form roots and leaves. I eat them as seedlings quite often.

They are packaged in a cloth drawstring bag so not airtight. It's my second time ordering because I'm very pleased with the super high percentage of sprouting.

I have used these bags for all sorts of things, including kale and leafy greens. My experience is that things like kale and leafy greens don't do as well, as they need something something more airtight to stay fresh. They can begin to wilt after a day or so. Things like apples, citrus, potatoes, onions, etc are great in these bags.

Yes, I already have planted my seeds for tomato, onion, radishes, and lettuce on them and they are coming up great. Just remember to put the seed side facing up - I did that in the beginning and had to wait for the tape to disintegrate before they started to sprout through the dirt.

Yea, you can use these to germinate any seed that fits inside. Just keep it moist and store in a warm, dark place until they sprout. The largest seed I've used is green beans, and it worked great for me. I've also had success with plain sponges, just cut them to size, cut a slit in the center, add seed + water + darkness. These are definitely the best thing on the market I've used to start seeds and clone plants.

I keep them in my refrigerator. I'm not certain what Sprout House recommends though.
