The sprouted growth is the best part, but all is edible, also the "roots". The seed "body" is a little smaller, and it's ingredients are activated so it should be good part of it. That one with the energy. >I read someone's post that some sprouts are anti-thyroid; I believe it was >alfalfa but can't be sure. What do you know of this? I also heard of a possible anti thyroid in alfalfa. I remember I disliked them when I was younger, now I find them OK (but I don't sprout such). I think it's always a good idea to eat what is tasty. Allowing a little time to get accustomed to a new food item. So the body can "discover" it's good and bad sides. Amadeus
