FAQ

Which sprouts are best for salad?

You can use any whole lentil or sabut dal, chickpeas, seeds, beans, millet or any sprouts to make salad. You can boil, blanch or steam the sprouts to digest easily.

Are salad sprouts healthy?

Despite being low in calories, sprouts are a rich source of nutrients and beneficial plant compounds. Their vitamin and mineral content varies based on the variety. However, generally speaking, the sprouting process increases nutrient levels, making sprouts richer in protein, folate, magnesium, phosphorus, manganese and vitamins C and K than un-sprouted plants. For instance, several studies show that sprouting helps increase protein content. Source – Healthline

Should we eat sprouts raw or boiled?

I like my sprouts raw for it’s crunchy texture when raw and I also like the taste of raw sprouts more than cooked sprouts. And never faced any problem. If you are using raw sprouts, wash the sprouts 4-5 times. Wash the sprouts really well before using. Drain the water completely and use in your dishes. But if you want you can boil the sprouts with water. But don’t make them mushy. Boil for a few minutes only. Or you can steam the sprouts or saute in a pan with 1 teaspoon oil for 3-4 minutes. .

Ingredients I used to make this salad

Black chickpea sprouts and white pea sprouts – These sprouts are very nutritious. But you can use any sprouts like moong sprouts or any whole lentil, beans, seeds, millet sprouts. Use whatever you have or you like.

How to make sprouts?

Wash and soak the chickpea, beans, lentils, seeds, millet overnight in a large bowl in enough water. Next day drain the water. Cover and keep in the same bowl or tie in muslin cloth and keep it in warm place. Or you can also keep them in a colander. Sprinkle little water in between if looks dry. Next day you will see the sprouts. When your legumes sprouted, you can store these in refrigerator for a week. Every time wash the sprouts well before using. For longer sprouts keep aside for 6-8 hours more.

As I mentioned you can use any sprouts and vegetables and you can also use fruits or seeds of your choice. Mixed seeds, small pieces of coconut will give a crunch to your salad. Just mix everything and serve immediately.
