Maintaining optimal health and protecting your body against daily external influences requires conscious food choices. A lack of variety in our diet can lead to us missing out on important protective substances, which can affect our overall vitality. Peuleschil Brassicamix organic seeds offer a carefully composed selection of high-quality brassica seeds that you can easily germinate at home. This mix helps to support your body in a natural way and brings valuable nutrients directly to your plate.
Brassica crops (Brassicaceae) are naturally rich in glucosinolates. During the germination of the seeds, the concentration of these active substances increases significantly compared to the mature plant. Because different brassica species each contain their own specific types of glucosinolates, this Brassicamix combines the power of red cabbage, kale and broccoli. This ensures a varied and broad supply of protective nutrients, which can be easily absorbed as part of your daily diet.

Brassicamix: red cabbage, kale and broccoli seeds
1. Put one to two tablespoons of seeds in a preserving jar, and add plenty of lukewarm/warm water. [Any glass jar is suitable, provided it is large enough (min. 1½ litres) and the neck does not narrow (too much).]
2. Attach a plastic or fibreglass fly screen to the jar using a sturdy (postman's) elastic band. Preferably do not use aluminium fly screen as this is sometimes treated against insects.
3. After the indicated soaking time¹, drain the water, rinse the seeds, and drain the water again.
4. Place the jar at room temperature at an angle in a colander, rack or container so that the excess water can drain away.
[It is important that all the water can drain away; the water that remains on the sprouts is sufficient to keep the germination process going. It is also important that the seeds/sprouts do not cover the entire mesh. For a good result, it is of great importance that there is sufficient air supply. Therefore, after each rinse, distribute the seeds/sprouts along the length of the jar.]
Do not place the jar with seeds/sprouts on the heater or in direct sunlight!
5. Rinse the seeds/sprouts during the indicated growing time² ± 3 times a day, and then always place the jar back at an angle.
6. Let the sprouts dry in the jar (at an angle) after the very last rinse* at room temperature for at least 18 hours before consuming them and/or putting them in the fridge.
* If desired, the last rinse can be replaced by a 'washing action' to remove the hulls from the sprouts:
-Fill a small bowl or similar to the brim with lukewarm/warm water.
-Put the sprouts in this, and 'wash' the sprouts loose.
-Skim off the hulls by 'waving' them over the edge of the bowl.
-Scoop the sprouts out of the water by hand, and put them back in the jar.
-Reattach the mesh, place the jar at an angle, and let it dry at room temperature for at least 18 hours.
Store remaining sprouts chilled (max. 7°C) and covered (not airtight).
¹ Soaking time: ± 6 hours
² Growing time: ± 4 days
Ensure strict hygiene during the germination process to guarantee the safety of the product. Rinse the sprouts thoroughly before consumption. Country of origin: Non-EU. Manufacturer: De Peuleschil, Richterlaan 3-12, 9207 JT Drachten.
