Why Sprouts? The Science Behind Their Power

Sprouts are nature’s superfood, loaded with essential vitamins, minerals, and powerful bioactive compounds. Research shows that broccoli sprouts contain high levels of sulforaphane, a compound known for its detoxifying and anti-inflammatory benefits​. Additionally, legume sprouts like fava bean, mung bean, and yellow pea are rich in plant-based protein and amino acids, making them an excellent addition to a post-workout or breakfast routine​.
