Sprouts are the best way to consume legumes in a healthy manner, a fistful of sprouts in salads increases nutritional values of salad, with each bite tons of Vitamins and Proteins entering our body. The whole process of Sprouting turns legumes and grains into living plants with more vitamins, such as Vitamin C, B and carotene. It also helps the absorption of minerals. All across the globe variety kind of pulses, cereals, seeds and grains are being sprouted and used in different cuisines either in salads or cooking. How sprout should be consumed is a debatable issue some say it should be consumed raw while others challenge the idea by saying sprouting encourages bacteria to grow so it’s best if sprouts are cooked to kill the bacteria. I consume sprouts both the ways sometimes in Savory Salads like my favorite Apple Sprout Salad or sometimes cooked with Pad Thai Noodles.
