Cooking Instructions

A crunchy, revitalizing Indian salad made with home-sprouted green gram and roasted peanuts. Sprouting dramatically increases micronutrient bioavailability, producing an enzymatic, fiber-dense powerhouse.

Nutritional Highlights

  • Enzymatic & Bioavailable Nutrition: Germination degrades phytic acid by up to 60%, significantly increasing the bioavailability of zinc, iron, and magnesium.
  • Satiety & Amino Acid Balance: Pairing lysine-rich moong sprouts with methionine-rich peanuts completes the plant protein profile while healthy fats provide long-lasting satiety.
  • Prebiotic Fiber: 6g of gut-friendly fiber feeds the microbiome, optimizing digestion and metabolic health without heaviness.

Cooking Instructions

  1. Light Steam (Optional): Place 150g sprouted moong in a steamer basket over boiling water for 3 minutes, then cool to room temperature. This softens the outer skin for easy digestion while maintaining a refreshing crunch.
  2. Combine Fresh Produce: In a large mixing bowl, combine the steamed sprouted moong, diced cucumber, chopped tomatoes, green chillies, and fresh coriander leaves.
  3. Add Crunch & Spices: Toss in the crushed roasted peanuts, roasted cumin powder (bhuna jeera), kala namak (black salt), and chaat masala.
  4. Dress & Serve: Drizzle 1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice over the mixture. Toss thoroughly to coat evenly. Serve immediately as a refreshing post-workout snack or afternoon pick-me-up.
