My mom keeps giving me sprouted moong salad every morning saying its full of protein. But i read somewhere raw sprouts can be risky during pregnancy so now im confused. Should i have it raw or cooked, anyone know?
It was on my approved list, good protein and doesnt spike sugar much. I usually had it steamed with some cucumber and lemon. Raw sprouts can sometimes cause infection so I always cooked mine lightly.
Yes ma, very healthy. At home we always sprout moong and steam it before eating. My mother in law makes a nice sundal style with it. Just keep it hygienic and you are good.
Yes its a great protein and folate source, I had it in my salads a lot. One tip my dietician gave, lightly steam the sprouts instead of fully raw, easier on digestion. Pair it with my morning walk routine and I felt good.
Very good actually, lots of protein and iron. Just dont eat them fully raw, give them a quick steam or saute to be safe from any bacteria. I had moong chaat almost daily, it kept me full.
