You can usually find them in the produce aisle by alfalfa sprouts etc. They have all the goodness of broccoli but much, much more concentrated. Also, I remember reading an article long ago (pre bc) that eating all newly sprouted veggies is a huge health boon because "infantile" plants have loads of beneficial biochemicals that can't be had by eating anything else. There was actually a health craze following in eating foods this way (and raw to boot). Must have not ended up being all that popular though or we'd all know about it now. I think the diet was Sproutman or something like that.
