Since I was just going to test it out, I order a Kg for 200g for $19. It's also non-gmo, I think you might have found a better deal. If things go well, they have a 5kg option to save some money and orders over $25 have free shipping. I started on Amazon, but some of the people were complaining about the yield. Saying that many of the seeds didn't sprout. I only raise the point as a consideration for the next time you buy seeds. I still think you got the better deal.
A point of conflict seems to be whether or not you HAVE to cook them. From what I've heard, sprouts are BELIEVED to carry higher than normal amounts of salmonella and E.coli. My seeds were tested for those. Doesn't mean that it can't cultivate while sprouting, if they are naturally good environments for the bacteriums. I'll be lightly steaming mine while I investigate the risk.
In terms of food prep, I think that if my initial trial is successful, in terms of cost and time (while gauging the hair results), i'll be ordering some different sprout species, to include with the broccoli sprouts to make it more palatable, and will give me something to periodically change up the flavor. At the retailer I shared, they have lots of different options which look interesting. I'll prob get a small amount of 3-4 of those. Other than that, I think I'll be taking a more salad approach. Lots of other veg and salad dressings. I've never steamed anything before, so not really sure what can be done with that.
Right now I'm doing my first 'crop'. 3 container. one with 1 tbsp, one with 2 tbsp, and one with ~ 2.5 tbsp. I'll be weighing them and trying to eat about 300g per day. I read that 100g of broccoli sprouts contains 250 mg of sulfaphorane (http://www.livestrong.com/article/307835-foods-that-are-high-in-sulforaphane/). At the dosage of the animal study I read (10mg/kg of body mass) I need 300g of broccoli sprouts to reach the needed dosage. No idea how many cups that will be yet...I'm really hoping not that much lol. Med sized salad to include in lunch and dinner.
I also found this paper that might be of interest to you. It used a calcium salt to increase sulphorane in broccoli sprouts by 97%. So you'd only have to each half as many.

I found a link to a food grade package on amazon here:

I haven't tried it yet. One step at a time.
Did you have any ideas for how to cook them?
