Research Conducted at American Universities on the Nutritional Value of Sprouts
"Our daily paper would surprise us if it carried an ad: 'Wanted: a vegetable that will grow in any climate, rivals meat in nutritive value, matures in 3 to 5 days, may be planted any day of the year, requires neither soil nor sunshine, rivals tomatoes in vitamin C, has no waste (in preparation)...' The Chinese discovered this vegetable centuries ago in sprouted soy beans. Today they are an important food for many millions." Dr. Clive McCay, professor of nutrition at Cornell University, wrote this description of a very desirable food in the spring of 1943. It was released at a luncheon at the Governor's Mansion in Albany, New York, an event which was covered by LIFE Magazine.
