Sprouts

Sprouts are considered a healthy addition to your diet. Generally grown from seeds and beans under warm and humid conditions, the consumption of sprouts is often caught in the debate of raw versus cooked. 
Several diet-conscious people, in a bid to have a high-protein, plant-based diet, tend to go for sprouts which are germinated seeds considered low in calories, sodium, fat, and packed with nutrients.
Benefits Of Sprouts:
It increases the protein content, thereby increasing its digestibility.
It increases the content and availability of calcium, vitamins like vitamin c and many phytonutrients like sulforaphanes in broccoli sprouts.
It decreases the phytate content, and the percentage of carbohydrates and fats.
Do not eat the same sprouts every day. Vary the sprouts you are taking to ensure that you are getting variety of nutrients. Sprouts are high in proteins and fibre. This may make it difficult to digest for some people and may cause flatulence.
Effects of consuming Sprouts:
1. They are extremely hard to digest especially for people having weak digestion as sprouting increases the concentration of protein, fibre and other nutrients and usually higher protein and fibre is considered hard to digest.
2. Regular consumption of sprouts can lead to diarrhea.
3. Sprouts are cold when raw or uncooked, which make it prone to bacterias and Infections like E-coli.
4. Excess consumption of sprouted corns and pulses can lead to increase in Apana vata which in long run can lead to hemorrhoids
Therefore, it is better to boil and cook sprouts with some spices such as black pepper, cinnamon, garam masala. It makes it easier for digestion and for absorption of nutrients.
