Put Sprouts On It

Sprouts are seeds that germinated. These edible seeds have been part of the dietary menu for over 5000 years. For all of you pirate fans out there, Captain Cook, I've heard, never lost a shipmate to scurvy due to his crew having a daily serving of malt made from sprouted beans. It sounds to me like Captain Cook was making the first and possible only Bean Sprout Beer! Sprouts is one of the most nutritious foods ever discovered. Sprouts, ounce for ounce, contain more vitamin C than oranges. Alfalfa sprouts are the most popular sprout. The word Alfalfa is derived from Arabic and is translated as "Father of all Foods." Alfalfa sprouts have been used to treat diabetes, arthritis, ulcers and high cholesterol. Alfalfa sprouts are high in protein and have too many vitamins and minerals to list. Add sprouts to stir frys, but more importantly enjoy them raw. Put them on top of your salads or stuff a pita sandwich with them.
