sprouts

A sprout is the young growth of any seed, nut or bean. Mostly, beans and seeds are sprouted to add nutrition to soups, salads, green smoothies, sandwiches, stir fries, etc.

Some people consider organic sprouting to be amongst the most healthy food preparation techniques known. Sprouts are considered "living foods" because they are truly alive during the germination and "sprouting" process.

Sprouting wakes up enzymes, which are said to attribute to overall body health and aid in proper digestion and assimilation of nutrients.

During sprouting, vitamins and minerals are suggested to increase from 13-600%.

You'll find bloggers talking about sprouts at sites like Raw Food Health Watch and The Bean Sprouts Blog.
