You probably think of sprouts as health food, but did you know that certain sprouts are not that good for you. Dont' be discouraged, though, there are still some great choices. According to Dr. Weil:Be choosey about sprouts, especially if you want to eat them raw. “I’m very opposed to eating raw bean sprouts,” says Weil. Raw bean sprouts, such as alfalfa, chickpea, lentil, and mung, have natural toxins that are only broken down by cooking. If you like raw sprouts, Weil suggests buying radish, sunflower, broccoli and buckwheat sprouts, which don’t contain such toxins.
