The EasyGreen site hosts an article on
sprout nutrition.
The USDA also has some information about the nutritional value of sprouts.
Here is a summary via NutritionData.
Sprouts can be powerful things - and there are some sprout hazards:
Goitrogens (anti-thyroids) in brassica vegetables
Glucosinolates (Goitrogenic Glycosides)
Phytoestrogens
Phytoestrogens and human health
Top carcinogens in vegetables
Salmonella and E-Coli
