QUESTION!!! SPROUTS
Is there any nutritional value to the white root part of little baby sprouts? It seems that the little green leaves are where the power is...

When you eat a sprout, you are eating the entire plant at a very young age. That is, you eat the root, stem, and head. Different glucosinolates are concentrated in different parts of the plant. So when you buy broccoli in a store, you are only buying a portion of the plant. Glucosinolates are still in the ground (in the root), others are in the leaves that are discarded, and some are removed by the grocer of consumer who cuts off the stem.
There are approximately 317,000 seeds per kilogram of seed (144,000/lb). Figuring an 8:1 yield, there are about 40,000 sprouts in a kilogram of broccoli sprouts (about 1,125 per ounce). In each grocery store size package of sprouts there are about 4,000 baby plants, and each one can have as much or more of certain micronutrients as an entire mature plant.

That's for others to decide. Personally, I think my shit smells like roses.
I thought these were not eatable.
I dont smell like fruit, but since getting all the processed foods out of my diet I find I hardly need deoderant. Theres definitely a noticeable improvement.
What are people supposed to smell like? In nature, animals smell musky.
