Having a properly packed and nourishing breakfast contributes a lot to the day’s total nutrient intake. There are so many healthy options for breakfast that comes straight to our mind but there is one thing that is so healthy but is slowly being forgotten. Yes, it is nothing but sprouts. Hands down, sprouts are the healthiest and most nutritious breakfast option that we can have.
Sprouts are a nutritional powerhouse as they come with a high content of nutrients like folate, manganese, phosphorus, protein and so many vitamins.
