1. What vegetables are sprouts?
Seedling bud, also known as bean sprout, is an edible small "bud" grown by artificially cultivating various kinds of bean seeds, cereal seeds and forest seeds, that is, the seedlings just grown from seeds, including the buds just grown from seeds, plumule, sprout, rose and young stem. This is a new type of vegetable that people like and buy in recent years. The advantages of bean sprouts are no pollution, no additives and safe to eat.
At present, there are few varieties of common sprouts on the market, mostly pea seedlings, radish seedlings, and occasionally leek seedlings. In fact, pepper sprouts, asparagus sprouts, sunflower sprouts, silkworm sprouts, buckwheat sprouts, Toona sinensis sprouts, peanut bud dishes and so on can all be cultivated and eaten.
2. Bean sprouts are very nutritious.
First of all, sprouts are delicious, but no matter how delicious they are, they are not popular with the public. Bean sprouts are not only delicious, but also contain various nutrients needed by the human body.
Germinated vegetables are rich in sugars needed by human body, especially sucrose. Germinated vegetables also contain lipid substances needed by human body, such as linoleic acid, erucic acid and linolenic acid. Secondly, sprouts are rich in protein. Thirdly, bean sprouts are rich in vitamin A, vitamin B 1, vitamin B2, vitamin B6, vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin PP, pantothenic acid and biotin. Sprouts are also rich in minerals such as phosphorus, sodium, potassium, calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese, silicon and so on, which are extremely rich in nutrition. These trace elements and nutrients are essential components of human body and are of great benefit to human health.
3. Seedlings are easy to grow
In fact, the cultivation of sprouts is very simple, with little technical content, but it can be large or small, as small as a pot and a barrel, and as large as industrial production. The requirements for sprouts are not high. You can use your own spare space for production, or you can rent a factory for large-scale production.
The requirements for making sprouts are simple, and the indoor temperature should be controlled above 10℃. Moreover, sprouts do not require high light, and some vegetables even require growth in the dark, but most of them require production in weak light.
The equipment required for sprouts is simple, as long as there is water in the field. If it is planted on a large scale, multi-layer shelves can be placed, which can expand the planting scale and output, thus reducing the production cost.
At present, the management of seedling raising is basically automatic. From seed treatment to production, it is automatically controlled by computer and can be monitored throughout. The key is that all production environments do not use hormones, fertilizers and pesticides, and standard organic foods. After fully automatic production management, the production output is improved, the cost is reduced and the production cycle is short. Generally, it can be listed in a week or so, regardless of the season.
4. The market prospect of seedling vegetables is broad.
At present, bean sprouts are still in the early stage of development, with good market prospects, large demand, high selling price and large profit space. According to the survey, the average selling price of sprouts is about 10 yuan/kg, but the cost is less than that of 2 yuan, so there is huge room for development.
In terms of market development, we can cooperate with various high-end hotels to carry out order-based development. At the same time, large supermarkets, residents' supermarkets and vegetable markets can also be developed. We are not worried about sales at all. At present, demand exceeds supply, and the market prospect is very good.
