Sprouts or sprouted grains are a wonderful thing and many people eat it in today's time. It is not wrong to call it the powerhouse of nutrition. And it is also advised to include them in the diet of every day. Sprouted grains are considered very beneficial for health, which works to protect you from many diseases. However, you hardly know that sprouts can also prove to be very harmful to your health. Actually, eating raw sprouts raw can prove to be harmful to you. According to the US health agency Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), sprouts should never be eaten raw, because eating them raw can have a bad effect on your health. Let us show you how?
According to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), consuming raw sprouts can prove to be very dangerous for you. Sprouts grow from seed and sometimes during the germination process, harmful bacteria such as E. coli and salmonella also grow in them. These bacteria can be in anything, but the way sprouts are grown, the risk of getting these bacteria is higher. On the other hand, the FDA says that if any harmful bacteria are present outside the seed and in the seed, then they can increase significantly during germination. Homegrown sprouts are also prone to this danger.
On the other hand, according to the CDC, eating these sprouts grown with bacteria raw can give you food poisoning problems. Not only this, even if you do not cook and eat the sprouts properly, you may still have to suffer its disadvantages. Cooking sprouts properly kills the bacteria present in it and reduces the risk of falling ill. According to the FDA's advice, the sprouts should be thoroughly washed in running water before eating, as this reduces the bacteria, but the CDC says that washing alone is not enough to eliminate the bacteria completely. For this, it is necessary to cook it well.
The CDC says that the problem of food poisoning can happen to anyone, and people whose immunity is weak are at a higher risk. This is because the body of these people is not able to fight germs and diseases. According to the FDA, such people should not consume raw vegetables and sprouts at all.
