The How and Why of Sprouting

//  by Larissa Galenes

Most people are familiar with mung bean sprouts (the kind used in Asian cooking) and perhaps alfalfa sprouts, but did you know that the sprouts of many other kinds of beans, seeds, and grains can be eaten as well? In this episode of the Vegetarian Zen podcast, we’ll explain exactly what sprouting is, why it is beneficial, what types of foods can be sprouted, and how to get started sprouting at home.
