Sprouts of Moringa oleifera Lam.: Germination, Polyphenol Content and Antioxidant Activity.

ABSTRACT: (1) Background: In recent years, the consumption of sprouts, thanks to their high nutritional value, and the presence of bioactive compounds with antioxidant, antiviral and antibacterial properties, is becoming an increasingly widespread habit. Moringa oleifera Lam. (Moringa) seems to be an inexhaustible resource considering that many parts may be used as food or in traditional medicine; on the other hand, Moringa sprouts still lack a proper characterization needing further insights to envisage novel uses and applications.

Moreover, the effects of sprouts developmental st
