Mustard Sprouts Seeds

Mustard sprouts are sharp, warm and unmistakable, carrying the same clean heat as the prepared condiment. They germinate in two to four days and are ready in five to seven, so a tray started midweek is on the plate by the weekend.

A little mustard goes a long way, so most growers use it as an accent rather than a base green. It also blends well with milder sprouts such as alfalfa or clover if you want the heat without a whole mouthful of it.
