Sprouts and microgreens are a way for people who don’t have the space or time to have a garden anyway. Sprouts require barely any space—you don’t even need a sunny window! Aside from the fact that sprouts are an easy, cheap, and tasty vegetable anyone can grow, sprouting also has some real nutritional benefits. Sprouting legumes, grains, and seeds makes them much easier to digest and sprouts are high in fiber, and vitamins C and B.
