Sprouts are young shoots that emerge from germinated seeds, offering a nutrient-dense addition to meals. Common types include alfalfa, mung bean, broccoli, and lentil sprouts, each bringing unique flavors and health benefits. Sprouts are rich in vitamins C and K, antioxidants, and essential minerals like iron and calcium, making them a popular choice in salads, sandwiches, and stir-fries across global cuisines, particularly Asian and vegetarian dishes. Their high fiber content promotes digestion, while enzymes within the sprouts aid nutrient absorption. They are also low in calories, making them ideal for weight management. However, raw sprouts carry a risk of bacterial contamination, so proper washing and cooking are recommended for safety. Packed with vitality and flavor, sprouts are a versatile superfood that supports overall wellness and adds crunch to a variety of dishes.
