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.
