#5 – Sprouts
When any seed or legume begins sprouting, a number of different enzymes get activated and it produces all sorts of minerals and vitamins. In fact, it is believed that one spoonful of sprouts contain more enzymes, proteins and minerals than a similar quantity of almost every other vegetable. They are also rich in chlorophyll and phytonutrients, which act as anti-oxidants. Cooking sprouts destroys all the essential enzymes which is why they should be enjoyed raw.
