Alfalfa sprouts, broccoli sprouts, onion sprouts, sunflower sprouts, clover sprouts, radish sprouts, snowpea sprouts, mung bean sprouts, soybean sprouts

Serving sprouts while my diet is being extended is not safe. Here's why, mommy - bacteria, including Salmonella, Listeria and E. Coli may penetrate sprout seeds through shell fractures. After the bacteria enter the seed, they keep on growing under the same warm and moist conditions as the sprouts do, which poses a huge health risk for me. Sprouts are recommended to be served only after thermal processing, e.g. cooking.
