alfalfa sprouts: day 2
how are these little legumes so delicious? i think 99% of it is texture. man do i love that crunch. i guess it doesn't hurt that they're packed full of nutrients like beta carotene and isoflavones (antioxidants, yo. they help protect cells from damage), as well as vitamin A, vitamin C, folate, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, and potassium. and they maybe, just mayyyybe, can lower cholesterol and blood glucose. Also, due to their size and taste you can eat hundreds of sprouted seeds at a time, each of which may contain all the nutrients of a full grown plant. So, in a sense, you can get all the goodness of eating hundreds of fully grown plants in one meal!
the long and the short of it? they're good for ya.
