However, germinated seeds that are good for health are in some cases harmful to health. Taking these on an empty stomach in the morning is also dangerous.
Green seedlings contain harmful bacteria which causes food poisoning. Problems such as diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and vomiting develop after 12-72 hours of eating sprouts. Children, pregnant women, and the elderly have these problems more than anyone else. For some, however, germinated seeds cannot be digested. They should put a little oil in a pan and fry the seeds for a while. Boil them in salted water for 5-10 minutes and eat them. Seeds taken in this way are good for the digestive system.
