A member asked:

Is the risk of bacterial infection there only when consuming raw sprouts? will cooking sprouts kill bacterial infection if any in the sprouts?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Simple: If fresh and washed sprout, you can eat raw. Cooking will diminish its micronutrient value. Stomach acid is good to protect you.
