“Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food" said Hippocrates to emphasize the importance of nutrition for health and for the balance of our body.
The first reason why each of us should seriously consider consuming sprouts if we are not already doing so is precisely encapsulated in Hippocrates' phrase: to reflect on what we feed our body in order to have a diet that is as conscious and healthy as possible.
Sprouts are a fresh and concentrated source of many useful and beneficial substances for the body! In a handful of sprouts, weighing just a few grams, there is an incredible wealth of minerals, proteins, and especially vitamins, all easily absorbed. All sprouts, without exception, have detoxifying, anti-inflammatory, and purifying properties and support the proper functioning of the cardiovascular system.
