Sprouts, Turnip, Red radish, Green onion, Jews mallow, Snap bean, Growing media, Nutritional value
This study was carried out during 2011, 2012 and 2013 for producing vegetable sprouts (Turnip, red radish and onion) and vegetable crops (Turnip, red radish, green onion, jews mallow and snap bean) using four growing media in wooden plot during winter and summer seasons. The wooden plot located in the kitchen experimental farm module in the Vegetables Experimental Farm of the Faculty of Agriculture, Ain Shams University, to study the effect of growing media on growth, yield characters and nutritional value of vegetable sprouts and vegetable crop products.Turnip and red radish sprouts at cotyledon stage grown in clay and clay mixture media recorded higher sprout yield with good source of protein, fiber, phenols, flavonoids and vitamin C in addition to decrease lipid and sugars content. Three weeks old onion sprouts grown in peatmose + vermiculate medium were rapid in growth with taller sprout length, longer white base length, taller sprout green tops with higher sprout yield and higher value of carbohydrates, energy, lipid, flavonoids , anthocyanin and potassium.
