What are sprouts?

Sprouts are seeds that have germinated and become tiny plants.

How to make sprouts ?

I had written a post earlier, do take a look at it.

Can it eaten be raw?

Yes, it can be eaten raw. In fact, we like it that way only. I never boil or steam moong sprouts for salads. They are sweet and easily chewable. But, I make sure I am putting in the fresh ingredients, a few days old, stored in the refrigerator will never taste good. It needs to be cooked. But, there has been a controversy, saying that, raw sprouts may contain harmful bacteria. The reason raw sprouts are risky is because they need to be grown in warm, humid conditions in which harmful bacteria such as E Coli and Salmonella also happen to thrive. There are chances of food poisoning taking place.

How to prevent food poisoning?

Store them in refrigerator at temperature below 8 degree Centigrade. Wash hands before using sprouts. Avoid eating sprouts with a strong smell or slimy appearance. If you are buying sprouts from stores, go for chilled ones.

What are the benefits of using sprouts?

Sprouts are rich in nutrients and low in calorie. The sprouting process helps to increase protein content. They also contain lower level of antinutrientsm making it easier for your body to absorb all the nutrients they contain. They contain higher amount of insoluble fiber, which eases digestion and may help reduce constipation. The sprouts also help to control the blood sugar level.

My other salad recipes are : Kidney Bean and Corn Salad, Two Way Crunchy Salad, Watermelon and Cucumber Salad

Let’s get to Sprouted Moong Salad

  • 1 tablespoon chopped coriander
  • 1/2 lemon

Method:

  1. Cut the veggies finely, do not cut the chilly into small pieces, it may be hot.
  2. Take a bowl, add the ingredients, mix. Add lime juice and chopped coriander to it.

Take a tip:

  • Onion may be added, but we prefer without it.

This glass bowl from Borosil is ideal for mixing salad or evebn to make puddings. It is made from high quality borosilicate glass, can with stand high temperatures and can be used both in microwave and oven. I love this product which I have since many years.

Such a wonderful way to enjoy the full health benefits of sprouted moong in the form of a healthy salad. I sometimes like to add a bit of raw mango to give the salad a bit of a sour taste.
