Whats the difference between short sprouts and shoots?
This usually refers to large seeds like peas. They can be sprouted for two or three days until the sprout is about .5cm (1/4″) long, or they can be grown in soil or water until they grow 3 to 6 inch tall shoots. The taste and uses are quite different. Short sprouts can be eaten out of hand, added to salads, or cooked. Shoots are eaten as snacks, used as garnishes, or added to sandwiches, etc.
