Delicious and easy to grow: Chinese Cabbage sprouts are a crisp and flavorful addition to any sprouting collection. These sprouts offer a mild, slightly sweet taste with a tender texture, making them perfect for adding to salads, wraps, or as a garnish. Packed with vitamins, minerals, and fiber, Chinese Cabbage sprouts are a great way to boost the nutritional content of your meals while enjoying fresh, home-grown greens in a short amount of time.

How to Grow: To grow Chinese Cabbage sprouts, soak the seeds in water for about 12 hours to initiate germination. After soaking, drain the seeds and place them in a sprouting jar or tray. Ensure that the seeds are kept moist by rinsing them 2–3 times a day. Keep them in a well-ventilated area with temperatures between 55°F and 75°F. Within 4–6 days, the sprouts will begin to grow, and you will notice small, tender leaves beginning to form.

Harvesting: Chinese Cabbage sprouts are typically ready to harvest when they are about 2–3 inches tall, usually 4–6 days after sprouting. At this stage, they will have soft, delicate leaves and a mild, refreshing flavor. To harvest, simply rinse the sprouts thoroughly and drain them. These sprouts can be enjoyed raw, making them an excellent addition to salads, sandwiches, wraps, or bowls. You can also add them to stir-fries or soups for an extra crunch and flavor boost.
