Sprouts give you a whole new world of nutrients. They're packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants—the kind of stuff that helps your body fight off disease.
So why not add some of those same nutrients to your diet? Sprouts are easy to grow at home, and they make a great addition to any meal or snack. Plus, you can grow them in any container—they'll grow just about anywhere!
Here are some benefits of sprouts:
They're loaded with fiber. Sprouts are low in calories and fat—so if you're trying to lose weight or eat healthier, sprouts are the way to go! They also help lower cholesterol levels in the body.
They're high in protein. Sprouts contain all nine essential amino acids that must be present for humans to survive (and thrive). That means they can be used as a source of protein in any recipe that calls for animal sources like chicken or beef.
They're rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3s are thought to reduce inflammation in the body and promote heart health. They also help improve brain function by decreasing symptoms associated with depression and anxiety disorders such as Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease (among others).
