In recent years, sprouts have become a familiar food for many families. However, many people wonder whether sprouts are as nutritious as regular vegetables.

According to experts, the nutritional value of sprouts is 5 times higher than that of regular vegetables. Moreover, sprouts do not contain pathogens or microorganisms that are harmful to human health.

Sprouts contain many growth-stimulating enzymes, which help the body increase resistance, prevent colds, and reduce cholesterol. Because they contain a lot of vitamin E, sprouts have anti-aging effects, beautify the skin, prevent cancer, and prevent cell hardening.

Sprouts have such good nutritional value, however, to have safe sprouts requires a closed, technical growing process.

According to expert Pham Van Thang, Vietnam Biochemical Development CenterMaleWhen buying bean sprouts, you need to pay attention to the following issues:

-Choose to buy growing medium and seeds from a trusted source. The growing medium must be clean and the seeds must not contain preservatives.

-Plant indoors or on balconies, avoid polluted places and direct sunlight.

-Water 2-3 times/day.

After harvesting sprouts properly, they should be used immediately. If they are not used up, we can preserve them by putting them in a plastic bag and placing them in the refrigerator.

Sprouts stored in the refrigerator should also be used within a short period of time, not for a long period of time because sprouts are not a food to be stored.
