Is alfalfa sprouts high in fructose?

Watch for

Raw sprouts are a documented food-safety risk rather than a food-chemistry one. The warm humid germination that opens the seed also suits Salmonella and E. coli, and food-safety agencies advise pregnant, elderly, very young and immunocompromised people to skip raw sprouts entirely. Cooking them through removes the concern. / Alfalfa seeds and sprouts contain L-canavanine, which mimics arginine closely enough to be built into immune-cell proteins in its place. Primate studies and human case reports link alfalfa sprouts and alfalfa tablets to lupus-like syndromes and flares, which is why lupus clinics tell patients to avoid them. / Salicylate grades only mild here (B), noticeably lower than dried alfalfa leaf and alfalfa herb supplements, which grade high. A tuft on a sandwich is a small dose, a sprout-packed salad on a strict elimination phase is not. / Nickel grades moderate (B). Alfalfa is a legume, and legume-family foods are worth logging separately if you have systemic nickel allergy. / Histamine content grades low, but the liberator column is unrated for this sprout, so do not assume either way if you are chasing flushing or hives.
