Notes
If you’re slightly intimidated by those mighty sprouts, fear not, they can be delicious and pack a nutrition punch you won’t wanna miss! But what are sprouts exactly? Sprouts are germinated seeds on their way to becoming a young plant. The most common ones are bean sprouts, pea sprouts, and radish sprouts (these have a very strong and spicy flavor).
