Sprouts Use as Functional Foods. Optimization of Germination of Wheat ( L.), Alfalfa ( L.), and Radish ( L.) Seeds Based on Their Nutritional Content Evolution.

Wheat, alfalfa, and radish sprouts are well-renowned for their high nutritional content. However, their optimal imbibition and germination durations are rarely considered in the literature. In this study, reduced imbibition times of 3 h, 10 h, and 4 h were demonstrated for the wheat, alfalfa, and radish seeds, respectively.
