Spinach Benefits and Recipes: Why and what you need to be eating!

Cheap, home-grown and healthy – three reasons why you need to grow a liking for sprouts.

Experts estimate there are over 100 times more enzymes (special types of proteins that act as catalysts for all your body’s functions) in sprouts than uncooked fruits and vegetables.

The energy contained in the bean or legume is ignited through soaking and sprouting. The quality of the protein improves with the soaking and germination processes. The fiber content, critical to weight loss, also increases substantially as does the vitamins A, B-Complex, C and E count.

The fact that sprouts are home-grown ensures you are not getting unwanted pesticides, food additives and other harmful chemicals that may impact your weight-loss plan.

Here are two easy recipes for a quick afternoon pick-up snack:

Sprout Tikki

Ingredients

Moong dal sprouted 1/2 cup

Brown chana, sprouted and boiled 1/2 cup

Green chana (hare chane), sprouted and boiled 1/2 cup

Fresh coriander leaves 2 tbsp

Salt to taste

Red chilli powder ½ tsp

Chaat masala ½ tsp

Jeera (cumin) powder ½ tsp

Oil to shallow fry

Besan flour for shallow frying

Method

  1. Chop coriander leaves finely and place in a bowl. Add the sprouts, salt and mash with a potato masher.
  2. Add red chilli powder, chaat masala, jeera powder and mix.
  3. Heat a little oil in a non-stick pan. Shape the mixture into small cutlets, roll them in besan flour and place in the pan to shallow fry. When the underside is done, flip over and cook till both sides are evenly golden.

Sprouted Moong Salad
