HOW TO MAKE GREEN GRAM SPROUTS( MULAPPICHA CHERUPAYAR) AT HOME AND SPROUTED GREEN GRAM THORAN

Green gram is called as ‘nutritional powerhouse’. It is a high source of protein. They are also rich in fiber, which helps in digestion and absorption of food. They also play a vital role in cholesterol metabolism, thus helps in reducing blood cholesterol level. As compared to whole green gram, the carbohydrate  and fat content in sprouted beans is much less. This coupled with low sugar content make it a diabetic friendly and highly recommended for people who want to become thin

Isn’t that enough to include this cute little thing in our diet. Lets make fresh been sprouts and try out delicious nutritious dishes..
