clover sprouts

[Annieski]

I was in the Food and Diet section and read the posts about "clover". I found "organic clover sprouts" in the food store and was wondering if these would be ok as long as I washed them?

Hi Annieski, I was looking at your post and saw that it nobody has responded to your question and I don't have the answer for you, but I'm going to bump it back to the first page and hopefully someone with a Sulcata will come on and know about these and be able to help you.

I can't thank you enough--I'm still trying to get the hang of this website and the best way to post.

Red clover sprouts look like alfalfa sprouts and have a mild, sweet flavor. Rich in phytochemicals, in particular genistein, which is known to prevent the formation of new blood vessels inside a tumor, in essence starving the tumor, it is protective against diseases like cancer. Red clover contains naturally occurring plant estrogens, similar to human estrogen, so they are helpful with PMS, menopause, hot flashes and fibrocystic disease. They are contraindicated with tamoxifen treatment. Please consult your physician if you are receiving this treatment before using sprouts. They contain vitamins A, B, C, E and K, the minerals calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron, phosphorus and zinc, trace minerals, carotene, chlorophyll and amino acids. They contain 26% protein.

Thanks for finding the info-- my vet got back to me and said the sprouts were ok to give but I had to make sure they were throughly washed to avoid bacteria transmission. Took a look at your photos -WOW are your Sullys gorgeous!
