Better than the real thing

While it might seem counterintuitive, there are vast bodies of research detailing how vegetable and legume sprouts boast both a greater nutritional profile and cost-efficacy than their adult-plant counterparts. Adult cruciferous vegetables (a wide variety of vegetables likely to be found in your fridge right now) including broccoli, radish, cabbage, cauliflower, etc. have been found to contain concentrations of immunity boosting phytochemicals anywhere from two to eleven times less than that of their sprouts, with longer germination periods, between 7-11 days, proving to significantly increase concentrations of a majority of these phytochemicals (3). The nutritional advantages don’t end there, as macronutrient profiles of sprouts have shown them to play a valuable role in contributing to one's daily needs, with 100g of our fully grown sprouts (from our alfalfa, clover, broccoli, and radish seed mix) will provide a rich macronutrient profile of approximately 3 grams of protein, 1 gram of fats, (0 grams of which are detrimental trans fats), 3 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of fiber, and less than 1 gram of sugar, all for approximately 30 calories (4).
