Hi all,

Can anyone tell me what are all the grains that we can get sprouts ? Because with kabuli channa or black channa, it seems tobe difficult to sprout unlike whole green gram.

Also, everytime, I face this problem. Sometimes, if I put it in a ziploc bag or airtight container, the sprouts are coming nicely. Some other times, if I tied with a cloth, nothing worked out, why this is happening ?

Any perfect way is there to make sprouts rather than changing one by one..

Thanks and Bye

  Hi R,
  I usually make sprouts from Moong dal or moth dal.
  I soak the dal over night in a steel vessel. In the morning I drain away the water. Then I cover the vessel with a lid and sprinkle a few drops of water on the sprouts twice a day. The sprouts come out very well for me this way.

  Hi R,
  I am really not sure. I think well cooked sprouts can be given after 1.5 years.

  Wash it well and immersed in water for about 20 hrs.

  put it over the sieve.
  keep this sieve in one container &close the lid.
  with in 10 hrs you will get an excellent sprout.

  combination of grains-that did not strike to me at all, it is really a good idea.
  
  Having sprouts in our food for elders-what do u think ? because, I heard that whole moong dhal is not good for people those who have arithritis! so, everytime, i make sprouts, I am in a confusion, whether to take or not, can u clear me up ?
  
  Thank u and Bye

  Hello R!
  Sprouted green grams which are half-cooked with a little salt is a fine food for the elder people who have heart problems. You must give them 4 TO 5 SPS for the breakfast. It is said that it must be given continuously for 40 days and then the blocking in the blood vessels will disappear.

  Hi,
  
  I have been facing this problem. Whenever I try to make sprouts, except black channa and whole moong, rest of the grains are getting delayed,not only that, a kind of stickiness is forming at the end of the day. Why it is happening ?
  
  Like, today, I tried making with kaaramani, a few sprouts has started coming, but again the stickiness, so have to trash them. Also, some smell occurs because of the stickiness.
  
  I just want to know whether I am the only one who faces this prob., or is it a common one?
