I am your # microgreen. Do you recognize me said little #seed. I am #special in the sense that if it is #cold outside, you can #grow a crop of my #sprout -micro green. 

You may be wondering what #sprout is. 

I am led with #hidden treasure. If you supply me with little # moisture, warmth and #air and of course little #care, I will #swell in your tray with joy, and I will become #sprout with root and shoot. My shoot can be lengthened by a few cm. I am packed with life #vital force and am full of protein, fiber and #antioxidants. 

With simple #rewarding efforts, one can put a handful of #soaked (12hours)seeds in a #clean jar and keep them for 8-10 hours. Cover the jar with a #muslim cloth. Keep the jar in #cool, dry place where direct #sunlight does not come. Within a few hours, one can see #sprout shoot coming out. After a full day, #sprout shoot length will increase, and the jar will be full of long fr, fresh #healthy #nutritious sprouts. 

Friends since sprouts are full of #minerals, they contribute to the #health and well-being of humans. 

I use moong #sprouts in making #idly, poha, upma, #stuffed paranthas. Children love it. My #western friends are so fond of my stir-fried moong sprouts. The same I spread on #stale roti to make cost cost-effective, healthy breakfast. 

Moral of story-To make cost-effective healthy food, one should make #maximum use of #sprouts of different types of beans in food .
