You must have heard about sprouts when you searched for best food online with low calories. Everyone suggests sprouts as the best food because of their low carbohydrates content and rich proteins. There are many types of sprouts available in the market, and all of them are pretty much beneficial to our health in particular areas. So, today we will be explaining you the benefits of eating sprouts and the best time to consume them for the better results.
Sprouts are considered as a light food, and they won’t fill your tummy for sure. These have to be consumed for health benefits, proteins, and vitamins.
Sprouts are very rich in proteins, fiber and very less in calories. This is the best food if you are looking for a weight loss diet and these won’t add more fat to your meal. Sprouts are considered as the good replacement for morning breakfast. Moreover, you don’t need to put more efforts in preparing them. Just adding a little water will make everything for you.
Best time to consume – Breakfast or snacks
I have mentioned breakfast or snacks because sprouts are light food and they can’t fill your appetite for sure. So, take them for a small meal and don’t overeat them. Anything overdose is not good for health.
How to prepare – I usually prefer sprouts because of the simple preparation process. Even a small kid can prepare them easily by just soaking them in water. Take few grams of sprouts and wash them off with water and then pour them into a vessel. Now again add some water to them, and you don’t need to fill the container just a few ml of water is enough for them to sprout. Closing the vessel with a lid helps the sprouting process to complete fast.
Leave them for around 12 hours and clean them again before consuming. The pretty simple process right
