Sprouts in the Tanach....... Book of Daniel 1:10

"10 days, let them give us seeds to eat and water to drink. Then let our countenance be looked upon before thee, and the countenance of the children that eat of the portion of the kings meat, and as thou see, so deal with thy servants....And at the end of ten days they appeared fairer and fatter in flesh than all the youths who did eat the portion of the kings fare. And in all matters of wisdom and understanding that the king inquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers that were in his realm."
