Sprouts are having a major moment, and for good reason. These tiny, crunchy greens are nutritional powerhouses, packed with protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals.
Whether you’re a health enthusiast or just looking for an easy way to boost your meals, sprouts are a simple yet transformative addition to any diet.
Among the most impressive? Broccoli sprouts.
Research from Johns Hopkins University suggests they contain up to 100 times more sulforaphane, a beneficial health-boosting compound, than mature broccoli. Eating a small handful (0.4 to 3.5 ounces) daily can deliver the same benefits as eating two pounds of regular broccoli.
But broccoli sprouts aren’t the only superstars. Alfalfa, lentils, mung beans and radish sprouts also bring unique flavors and health perks to the table.
The best part? They’re incredibly versatile. Toss them into salads, blend them into smoothies or saute them for a quick stir-fry.
Below are some creative ways to incorporate sprouts into your meals, along with simple, delicious recipes to get you started. (h/t to Homeal.co.in)
Sprouts are worth the hype because they are a nutrient-dense superfood. They are loaded with vitamins (A, C, K and B-complex), minerals (iron, magnesium and calcium) and antioxidants.
Sprouts have a high fiber content that allows them to support optimal gut health and keep digestion running smoothly. Additionally, lentil and mung bean sprouts are excellent plant-based protein sources.
Sprouts are also easy to digest. The sprouting process breaks down anti-nutrients, making them gentler on the stomach than unsprouted seeds. (Related: Sprouts: Your perfect emergency preparedness food choice.)
