Sprouting

Sprouting is the natural process by which seeds or spores germinate and put out shoots, and already established plants produce new leaves or buds, or other structures experience further growth.

"Bean sprout" redirects here. For the vegetables, see soybean sprout and mung bean sprout.
See also Microgreen for similar immature vegetables; for blood vessel sprouting, see Capillary sprouts

In the field of nutrition, the term signifies the practice of germinating seeds (for example, mung beans or sunflower seeds) to be eaten raw or cooked, which is considered more nutritious.
