About Sprout

A sprout is a young plant growth produced when a seed or other propagule begins to germinate. As a food label, it can refer to sprouts from many plant types, so it does not identify a particular seed, species, or mixture. Sprouts may be sold fresh or incorporated into prepared foods.

They are commonly eaten raw or cooked in salads, sandwiches, stir-fries, and other dishes. Appearance and texture vary with the source plant and growth stage, but sprouts are generally tender and may have a crisp texture. The generic label does not support naming a particular kind or flavour.
