1 - Known as "sprouts," these seeds germinate above ground, exposed to water, air, and warmth. During this process, they produce a surge of nutrients to fuel the young plant's growth. The result? They're packed with vitamins and enzymes—levels of vitamin C, vitamin A, and others multiply dramatically, as nutritional science confirms.
