Sprouts are germinated seeds, often consumed raw or lightly cooked, providing a natural boost of nutrients. Common types include alfalfa, mung beans, broccoli, and lentils. They are staples in cuisines worldwide, particularly in Asian dishes such as stir-fries and salads. Rich in vitamins C, K, and several B vitamins, as well as minerals like iron and potassium, sprouts are celebrated for their health benefits. They also boast high levels of antioxidants and enzymes that may aid digestion and improve overall cellular health. Their low calorie and carbohydrate content make them an ideal choice for weight management. However, due to potential contamination during sprouting, proper cleaning and storage are crucial to minimize risks of foodborne illnesses. Sprouts offer an easy way to add freshness, crunch, and superior nutrition to any meal.
