Why are sprouts more nutritious than the seeds they grow from?
Many of the complex compounds stored in the seed are broken down into simpler compounds during hydration and sprouting of the seeds. Also changes in protein quality and fibre content during sprouting all add up to make the sprout more nutritious than the seed alone.
Are bean sprouts more nutritious than the beans themselves?
Bean sprouts are more nutritious than the beans themselves. Bean sprouts contain vitamin C which is not found in beans.
Why do sprouted seeds provide more nourishment than non sprouted seeds?
Sprouted seeds have increased levels of nutrients like vitamins, minerals, and enzymes compared to non-sprouted seeds. This is because sprouting activates the seed's enzymes, which helps break down anti-nutrients that can block nutrient absorption. Additionally, sprouting can increase the bioavailability of certain nutrients, making them easier for our bodies to absorb.
How to plant sprouted potatoes in containers effectively?

Can you plant a yellow sprouted onion?

Do bean sprouts contain starch?
No they do not contain the starch that is dangerous to food combine with fats and proteins. By sprouting. all the starch is broken down into more simple sugars. Here's an quote I pulled from another website: "Digestibility of sprouted products is increased because the cell walls carrying carbohydrates and proteins are broken down during the process. Digestibility increases due to production of amylase. Sprouted foods can be converted to amylase rich food. Sprouting of fenugreek reduces its bitter taste. Germination also uses up the indigestible sugars in the seeds so bean sprouts produce less intestinal wind than beans, which have not sprouted. Bean sprouts may some times produce an allergic reaction in people suffering from lupus. Sprouts are an extremely inexpensive method of obtaining a concentration of vitamins, minerals, and enzymes. Sprouts supply food in pre-digested form. During sprouting much of the starch is broken down into simple sugars such as glucose and sucrose by the action of the enzyme amylase. Sprouts contain a lot of fibre and water content, which makes it, help full in overcoming constipation." Hope this helps you. May you be happy and free. Om Nama Shivaya.
Does a lime have seeds?

Can you eat raw bean sprouts?
You can eat sprouted beans raw, some types of beans are better than others for this. Some are more starchy and are better cooked lightly or stir fried quickly. It is a matter of taste, so trial can be the best approach unless you have a health food store that sells seeds for sprouting and then you can get their recommendations for how to best use each type of bean. There are sources of the commonly sprouted seeds on the web. They are very healthy and easy to sprout your own. Mung beans are the typical bean sprouts in Chinese dishes.

Are kernels like seeds that sprout?
No. Seeds are super concentrated proteins, fats and some carbohydrates and much harder to digest than their sprouted forms. Sprouts are much lower concentrations of those elements in that they are diluted with water and are enlivened with live enzymes, unlike the dry counterparts and are predigested by the sprouting process so they are very easily assimilated by our digestive organs as opposed to the raw seeds themselves in their dry dormant state. Sprouts are softer and easier to chew up and that is another factor because the more a food is broken down thru chewing the more nutrients that are utilized by our bodies otherwise the unchewed particles of vegetables or seeds just pass thru us undigested. You have probably noticed this when you eat corn or peanuts and see pieces of the unchewed parts in your poop. That is not an indication that you can't digest peanuts or corn just that the unchewed parts couldn't be broken down in our stomach or intestines, only the thoroughly chewed parts were digested.
