What are sprouts?
Sprouts are essentially just young plants just poking their heads above the ground. Instead of patiently waiting for them to grow into large plants, you can pick these little powerhouses when they're just a few days old. Convenient, right? They have a soft, mild flavor and are packed with minerals, antioxidants, and other beneficial nutrients. Their delicate texture and fresh taste make them perfect for eating straight from the hand or tossing into all your favorite dishes. You can sprinkle them on your salad, stir them into your soup, or simply use them as a tasty finishing touch wherever you fancy.
