Sprouting is a process where the seeds or grains are allowed to germinate. This naturally increases the nutritious value of the grain. It also increases the digestability of the same. Sprouts increase the vitamin and mineral content of the grain and decrease the carbohydrate and calorie content.

Basically any whole legume or grains can be sprouted. Some sprouts have a change in flavour after sprouting. I have used whole green gram for this salad. But it can be substituted by sprouted chik pea, black channa or any bean.

Hi Dahlia,
How to sprouts the beans at home. Kindly do explain me step by step and also how many days I need to wait to get the sprouts in the beans. Whenever I'm sprouting its taking too longer days and also it smeling when I'm about to wash for every 6-12 hours.
Thanks

Hi Waheetha, I usually soak the beans overnight, then drain all the water, wrap it in a clean moist cloth and keep it covered in a closed container. Leave the closed vessel in a dark and warm place (this really helps). Just sprinkle few drops of water every 6 hours or so. You will notice sprouts in a day or two. Once you are dont sprouting, just give a good rinse. This will help you get rid of any smell.
