I love sprouts, I always put them on my sandwiches and I love them in salads. but sometimes people say sprouts are not good for you and can easily carry bacterias or something like that.<br><br>
whats the deal with sprouts? is this true?<br><br>
can they really be harmful?

i heard this too - but it seems ridiculous since waaay more people become ill from bacteria in meat than sprouts.<br><br><br><br>
here is a link about it (granted, it IS from a retail site - but it has good info): <a href="http://www.sproutpeople.com/safe.html" target="_blank">http://www.sproutpeople.com/safe.html</a><br><br><br><br>
i also recently posted a topic on sprouts in the Health forum...everyone basically concluded that sprouts are yum and we are not going to give sprouts up <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/grin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=""><br><br><br><br>
i grow my own (clover, alfalfa, sunflower, etc.) and have never had a problem. i say eat em' up!

I love sprouts. I have heard that they can carry bacteria too. But I am sure just about anything you are going to eat can have that risk. I think it's just a caution, since you are sprouting them yourself and not in a controlled invironment. ?<br><br>
I won't give them up!
