Sprouts
Young plant growth
Sprouts are young plant shoots, especially the edible ones that emerge when seeds germinate: bean sprouts, alfalfa sprouts.
Brussels sprouts are the small cabbage-like vegetables growing on a stalk.
To sprout is to begin growing, sending out new growth: The seeds sprouted overnight.
Figuratively, things that appear suddenly sprout up: New buildings sprouted across the skyline.
