Sprouts are one of the most healthy foods that you can include in your diet. One of the best parts about eating sprouts is that they give you all the essential nutrients and are quite hassle-free to prepare. All you need to do to prepare a bowl of sprouts is to soak some moong dal overnight in water and the next day you see the process of germination being completed. Always remember that you must keep your doll in a dark place to make the germination happen. Germination makes pulses very healthy. Eating sprouts for breakfast can be a very healthy option. It is a great way of avoiding any unnecessary and unhealthy food in the morning just to eat something and fill your stomach . You can also eat it as your evening snack. But we do understand that eating sprouts with some salt and spices every day can become boring. So to solve this problem, here are some exciting sprouts recipes that you can try making at home.

Adding chaat masala, salt, and black pepper can also make a lot of difference. Sprinkle some lemon juice over the top of your spouse.
