Description
Sprouting gives seeds a complete health boost, enhancing their nutrient content and making them easier to digest and absorb. Nut just that, the seeds also become crunchier and tastier when sprouted! All of which makes them an ingredient one must include in their daily diet. But still, I am sure none of us can eat a bowlful of sprouts again and again, in the same boring salad style (with lemon and salt) or as a conventional subzi. You need not cope with boredom anymore!
In “Cooking with Sprouts”, you can now consume this tiny treasure trove of nutrients in the form of interesting and delectable 39 recipes that are divided under sections such as “Soups and Salads”, “Snacks”, “Subzis and Stirfries”, “Rice” and “Traditional Favourites”.
Gone are the days when people used to tease sprouts and greens as being cattle food! Health professionals are increasingly recommending people to eat sprouts as these are easier to digest, low in calories and richer in nutrients than dry pules and seeds. Enzyme levels in seeds increase dramatically when they are sprouted, the seed fats are converted into essential fatty acids whereas carbohydrates, proteins are converted into sugars and essential amino acids respectively, minerals become easily absorbable, and vitamin levels increase substantially. Thanks to all these active enzymes, sprouts are also rich in antioxidants that are a must to fight the stress, free radicals and pollution one is exposed to these days.
