Sprouted Mung Beans/Moong Salad Recipe

By Leave a Comment

In our last recipe we learned “how to sprout the Mung Beans“ . Here we have easy salad with the sprouted mung and other seasonal vegetables and fruit. This is a great addition to a low fat, vegan dinner with great protein and fiber content.

In our farmers market I do see lots of Pomegranate, so I decided to use that along with carrot, cucumber. You can also add  colorful Bell Peppers, guava, apples or any fruits available in that season.

To know the benefits of sprouts please read the article by Dr.Shivashankar  Sprouts – Panacea for many ills.
