He postulated that sprouts have anti-inflammatory, anti-rheumatic, laxative and physically strengthening effects. The trade with sprouts has been growing in China ever since the beginning of the 20th century.
In the 1970s, the "green movement" gave sprouts also a tremendous boost in Europe. Chefs started to use attractive-looking sprouts for the decoration of their meals. Today, growing your own sprouts has established itself as a health trend in the big cities. No matter how big or small the appartment, crunchy sprouts can always be grown on every windowsill.
