Sprouting is basically a process where seeds and legumes are germinated and eventually eaten raw. When seeds are soaked in water for a certain period of time and allowed to germinate they germinate, causing their outer layers to tear open and allowing a young shoot to blossom. You can sprout almost any legume,grain, seed, or nut. Everything from chickpeas to broccoli to millet to radish to red clover to mung beans. There are a few exceptions—not because they won't grow a sprout, but because the effort required to get it “right” isn't really worth it or because they aren't good
