Abstract
© 2016 The Authors. Published by Innovare Academic Sciences Pvt Ltd. The concept of “clean food or green food” is very popular in the present lifestyle. The green sprouts have been an increase in consumers’ demands such as alfalfa (Medicago sativa), broccoli (Brassica oleracea), lentil (Lens culinaris), mung bean (Phaseolus aureus), radish (Raphanus sativus), soybean (Glycine max), sunflower (Helianthus annuus), and other seed sprouts that are usually eaten fresh or cooked for beverages, soups, appetizers, or main courses. Not only are the delicious menus but the sprouts also considered to provide health benefits. H. annuus is a folk remedy for chronic diseases such as bronchiectasis, cough, diarrhea, hypertension, infection, and rheumatism. Its phytochemical substances are alkaloids, carotenoids, flavonoid, minerals, oils, phenols, tannins, terpene compounds, and vitamins, which all of these contribute to its remedial properties. This review is an attempt to compile information on nutraceutical uses of sunflower sprout, H. annuus in the antioxidant property.
