The picture below shows what the ideal sprout should look like, in comparison to a substandard product. So, what’s the difference between the two?
The sprouts on the right were purchased from a retail store and are approximately the same age as the product on the left (HSCO). Sprouts should not appear brown or darkly coloured, limp and dried – as the example shows. As you can see, our sprouts on the left have a fresh bright and ‘alive’ appearance.
The ideal sprout should reflect the appearance of being white, crisp, shiny and with the outer brown husk removed. Healthy Sprout goes the extra mile to ensure each product has an excellent shelf life through a comprehensive washing regime of the sprout to remove the majority of the brown outer husk, giving the sprout its clean fresh appearance.
