sprouts for healthy life.....

Benefits of sprouts are immense and intangible.

How to sprout at home
Most vegetable vendors and super markets stock up sprouts. You can either pick these from these outlets or can even make sprouts at home. For sprouting, you need to soak the legume overnight. Rinse the water off. Now put the legume in a sprouter and wait till it sprouts. Don't leave too much water in the sprouter. Put water enough to keep the legume moist so that the sprouting process take off.
