Alfalfa sprouts are the young shoots of the alfalfa plant, eaten as a vegetable. The figures here describe them raw. They consist mainly of water and provide some protein, with smaller amounts of carbohydrate and fat, alongside vitamins and minerals. Per 100g, they contain 4g of protein, 0.7g of fat and 36µg of folate, and provide 100 kJ of energy.
Protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues, while folate supports normal blood cell formation. Raw sprouts can carry bacteria that cause food poisoning. Thorough cooking reduces this risk, which is particularly relevant during pregnancy and for people with weakened immune systems. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
