In my pre-IBS, raw vegan days, I lived on sprouts and sprouted at home avidly. I can no longer consume sprouts as they distress me immensely and give me violent, torrential spasmodic diarrhea. Sprouts are basically immature plants. I don't have a problem with the juice of sprouts, but consuming the sprouts is just over the top for me. I personally wouldn't recommend sprouts for an IBS'er, so consume at your own discretion.
They are delicious, though and full of antioxidants. I sprouted predominantly leafy sprouts, i.e. alfalfa, clover, radish, mustard, watercress. Plus, there was, how shall I say it nicely...an "aroma" about me that I couldn't take anymore!
No, you don't discard the seed, incidentally. The sprout is an offshoot of the seed. The seed is the plant/food.
