| | Sprouts are grown from peas, chickpeas (garbanzo), lentils, alfalfa, radish, cress, buckwheat, rye and wheat, but the market generally handles primarily mung, alfalfa, radish and cress sprouts, and in some cases mixes of some of these. | | | Sprouting seed must not be allowed to overheat or stand in water since anaerobic conditions will develop, the seed may die or decay, and bacterial contamination may result. | | | Size depends on the scale of the sprout operation and the amount of bean seed to be sprouted. |

| | The sprouts are "topped" 50-60 days prior to harvesting by machine; the terminal bud is pinched out by hand to prevent the plant from growing taller and to send the plant's energy into the development of the Brussels sprouts. | | | The fields are fumigated prior to transplanting with Vapam or Telone to prevent nematodes from damaging the crop. | | | The sprouts are then transplanted into the fields on 36-inch beds at spacings of 13-16 inches apart. |

| | Sprouts |
| | Sprouts are sold loose (sometimes immersed in water), in plastic bags, or in clear plastic boxes (often containing the pad of absorbent material on which the seeds were sprouted). | | | Probably the most familiar sprouts are those of alfalfa and mung bean seeds, but many food plants--ranging from lentil and soybean to watercress, radish, sunflower, and mustard--have seeds that, when moistened, will germinate to yield edible shoots. | | | But if sprouts aren't nutritional superstars, they, nevertheless, are a filling, low-calorie food (due to their high water content) that will provide a wholesome and delicious component to your diet. |

| | Sprouts are very inexpensive (even when organic), always fresh (they grow until you chew them) and have the potential to help solve hunger and malnutrition problems in our communities and in developing countries, because they are so rich in nutrients, affordable, and easy to transport before sprouting. | | | Soil sprouting can be used to produce lettuce-like buckwheat greens or pea shoots, crunchy sunflower greens, or chlorophyll rich wheat or barley grass. | | | Most seeds can be sprouted and eaten but avoid sprouting any seeds from plants that may have poisonous parts. |

| | Sprouts - |
| | Sprouts are essentially a pre-digested food, the seed's own enzymes having already done most of the hard work. | | | During sprouting, the seed's enzymes convert stored inactive nutrients into a sort of nutritional superfuel which allows the sprout to grow very rapidly during the early days of its life. | | | For the first few days of its life a baby plant - or sprout - is not capable of feeding itself and is sustained entirely on nutrients contained in the seed, the equivalent of mother's milk. |
