Sprouts salad – the most nutritious food choice one can make. Sprouts, the germinating seeds, are the best foods with low calories. Today I am sharing a tasty and healthy Indian style sprout salad made with green gram (mung bean).
Green gram aka mung bean is a protein rich lentil that makes you feel full and at the same time keeps your belly light and comfortable. They are the wholesome source of plant protein you can add to your vegan diet. Green gram in the form of sprouts salad makes it more easier to digest and absorbed by our body.
You can eat a raw sprouts salad if you can. Anyway I can’t take it raw and so I sauteed the green gram sprouts. To make the sprouts, you will have to soak the beans in water for at least 8 hours. So wash and soak the beans in the morning. By evening drain and keep the beans in a bowl to germinate. The next morning you can see the white sprouts coming out from those small green gems. I like to have it with Congee rice porridge and mango pickle.
