And I copied and pasted the following nutritional information from that website.

Sprouted sunflower seeds produce impressive nutritional data. Imagine, a little

sprouted sunflower seed contains enough nutrients to start a whole new plant

growing, one that can reach 6- to 12-foot (1.8 to 3.7 m) heights. In the

germination process, all nutrients, including enzymes and trace minerals,

multiply 300 to 1200%.

One of the richest sources of protein, 3 1/2 ounces (100 grams) of sprouted

sunflower seeds contains 22.78 grams. The mineral content soars in the sprouted

state. That 3 1/2 ounces (100 grams) offers a notable 116 mg of calcium, 5.06 mg

of zinc, 689 mg of potassium, 1.75 mg copper, and 354 mg of magnesium.

Vitamins increase during sprouting when the seeds are producing a new life.

Vitamin A increases to 50,000 IU, and Vitamin E offers 52.18 mg, while Vitamin D

provides 92.0 IU for 3 1/2 ounces (100 grams). The Vitamin B family offers

niacin at 4.50 mg, riboflavin at 0.25 mg, and thiamin at 2.29 mg. Sprouted

sunflower seeds are also a rich source of iron, providing 6.77 mg for 31/2

ounces (100 grams) that can be a benefit to people with anemia.

Mature sprouted sunflower seeds are a rich source of chlorophyll noted for

cleansing or detoxifying the liver and the blood. Chlorophyll benefits many

functions within the body including building blood supply, revitalizing tissue,

calming inflammation, activating enzymes, and deodorizing the body. Most

commercial breath fresheners contain chlorophyll.

Now here's a question from me. Sunflower seeds have a lot of calories. Do the

calories change once they are sprouted and I just eat the sprouts?
