The demand for plant foods in all global markets has been
increasing along with awareness of greenhouse gases generated from
animal farming, expanded sentiments against animal slaughtering and
common perception of the health benefits of plant food products.
Accordingly, more attention has been placed on green processing of
plant foods for the optimization of their nutritional and health
benefits. Sprouted vegetable products have been studied and
reported in many scientific investigations to qualitatively improve
the phytochemistry, enhance the nutritional profile and improve the
biological functionality potentials of such vegetables beyond their
initial natural states. Vegetable sprouts have been reported to
possess aspects that make them serviceable for the management of
metabolic syndrome disorders such as diabetes, hypertension, cancer
and other health issues related to cellular oxidation of body
cells, and antimicrobial bioactive components have been isolated
from vegetable sprouts. Advances in Plant Sprouts:
Phytochemistry and Biofunctionalities provides a singular
source on recent advances in studies about the dietetic and
nutraceutical potencies of vegetable sprouts and increases
awareness on the possibility of processing plant foods to make them
more nutritionally beneficial. Green production is another
important aspect of this text since plant foods processed by
sprouting are free of agrochemicals, consume less energy and
utilize less manpower, making them easy to produce and
environmentally friendly as well. Consumption and production of
sprouted vegetables has been increasing in recent years, and this
text covers the production and nutritional aspects of all the major
sprout groups.Â
