Homemade Sprouts is always healthy. I make sprouts with green moong bean on and off though not on a regular basis. This time I tried with black channa too but it took more time around 2 days for even the small sprouts to appear. I have seen sprouts / mixed bean sprouts at Pazhamuthir but havent reached out anytime as I always doubt on the kind of water they use. So make your own sprouts and eat healthy.
How to make sprouts?
Though sprouts are easily available in supermarkets , I would highly recommend making your own batch. Its not only easy but hygenic when made at home.First to begin with soak the bean in water for atleast 8 hours or ovenight.Rinse it well, drain water completely. Keep covered in a cloth or a hot box for a day.If you want long sprouts then keep it for a day mine is after 8 hrs. I would prefer short ones.Anyways long or short doesnt really matter for the nutrition and health benefits it gives. Once it starts to sprouting itself, the nutrition is doubled when compared to the normal bean.

But just open and check then leave it undisturbed dont toss or turn over.Each bean takes different amount of time for the sprout to be visible. I tried to make sprouts with black channa using the same above method and it took around 2.5 days completely for the sprout to come.For black channa you need to soak overnight.You can either make salad with fresh sprouts or make a stir fry with it. You can also use this for any chaats like pani puri , dahi puri etc.
