Wow!
Subah, what are you doing?
I'm growing vegetable sprouts
Vegetable sprouts? What's that?
I've only heard about dal, moong, and chana sprouts
3 years ago, they were something completely new for me too
But in 2018, in Hippocrates Health Institute, America,
I had gone to attend a 3-month course
It's a highly prestigious natural cancer healing institute
Here, I observed with my own eyes how by changing their diet and lifestyle,
people were able to reverse their advanced cancer & tumours
When I looked into it in more depth,
I found out that they were having these sprouts twice a day
These sprouts have the nutrition of a full-grown plant sitting within them
And thanks to this nutrition, people were able to reclaim their health
So in that moment, I knew that I had to share this powerful secret with you all
So in this video, I'll share everything you need to know about vegetable sprouts
In the first part of this video, you'll learn about all their benefits
From giving you to strength to giving you immunity,
why are they Mother Nature's greatest superfood?
And in the second part of this video, you'll learn the right way to prepare them
What are the best varieties that you can grow in India?
And how can you use them?
But first, let's understand what is a sprout
When you add water to a seed,
it starts sprouting because of the moisture around it
a tail starts emerging from it
this seed along with the tail is called a sprout
We've only known about sprouting lentils till now
But there are plenty of vegetables that you can sprout and consume
But why do you call these sprouts superfoods?
The answer is hidden in the name. They are truly SUPER
S for strength-giving, which give you a lot of power
Look at these radish sprouts
This little sprout grows up to become a big radish plant
Think about it - this tiny sprout has the power to become such a big radish
When you eat it, what do you think happens? Where does this power go?
In your body!
In Hippocrates Health Institute, we were also taught
that sprouts are 10-30 times more nutritious than a full grown plant
2nd benefit - U for unadulterated
which means absolutely pure
These days many of us are hunting for organic food
but it's either too expensive or we can't figure out whether it's truly organic or not
but sprouts are organic by default
without any chemicals, without any herbicide or pesticide
You can trust that they are safe because you're the one growing them
3rd benefit - P for pranic, which means they're full of prana
Try this experiment yourself. Take 2 pots. Add some sprouts in one of them
and add any one of these things in the other one
Water them a little every day
After 1 week, what happens?
The pot in which you added cooked food will remain exactly as it was before
nothing will grow out of it
but in the pot containing the sprouts, you'll see a small plant growing
Why? Because sprouts have prana. They have life
And foods like biscuits, chips and noodles have no life in them
Something that has no life can never give you life
Think - how much life, how much prana, how much energy is in this little sprout
And when you eat them, that same energy is transferred to you
It fills you with energy
it helps with your body's repair and regeneration
and eliminates the diseases inside you
Next benefit - E for easy
To grow them, you don't need any soil, or special light, or machine,
or lots of space, or much time
All you need is some vegetable seeds, a thin cotton cloth, and water
You simply have to soak the seeds in water, which only takes 1 minute
The next morning you have to tie them in a bundle, which takes another minute
And then just open the bundle and wash the seeds daily for the next 3 days
How much time does it take to wash them?
1 minute!
By the 5th day, they will have long tails growing out of them
and they are ready to be eaten
In 5 days, how much time did it take? Just 5 mins
They're not just easy to grow, but really easy to digest too
How can they be easy to digest?
So many people get gas, acidity and indigestion after eating sprouts
Look, listen to this carefully
there are 2 types of sprouts - one the kind you've known about for many years
lentil and bean sprouts
On the other hand, there are vegetable sprouts
It's difficult to digest lentil and bean sprouts
That's why some people get gas, acidity and indigestion after eating them
They are great for those who have strong digestive power
like children, athletes, players who run a lot, workers who do a lot of physical labour
but if you only exercise for 1 hour a day & usually spend your day sitting on a chair
then vegetable sprouts are more suited for your lifestyle
they are really easy to digest
and there's no question of getting gas, acidity or indigestion by eating them
So what's the last R? Think about it
Reasonable, which means they are cheap
Seeds grow 10-15 times their size once they sprout
Spending just a few rupees, you can grow so many sprouts
Come, let's find out what are the best sprouts that can be grown in India

And you may find fenugreek seeds in your kitchen already right now
you can start growing them right now
Let's find out how to grow them
The first step for growing sprouts is to soak them
Take 2 big spoons of seeds, wash them once and transfer them to a vessel
Add at least 1 inch more water than the layer of seeds
Now soak them overnight
The next step is tying them in a bundle
So the next morning, take the water out of the vessel
Wash the seeds properly with water once
and take a thin white cotton cloth like this
it's not any special cloth. It's just a thin white cotton cloth
Place your soaked seeds on it and tie the cloth tightly in a bundle
so that the seeds are wrapped in a bundle like this
Now place this bundle in a bowl and cover it with a plate like this
You can leave this bowl on your kitchen counter,
but ensure it's not exposed to direct sunlight
they can get damaged if exposed to direct sunlight
The last step is washing them. For the next 3 days,
once in the morning and once in the evening,
you have to open the bundle and place it under running water
After washing them a little, tying them tightly in a bundle again,
place them back in the bowl
why do we do this?
So that they can retain the moisture. Moisture is really important for growth
Just wash them like this for 3 days
and by the 4th day, you'll see long white tails growing from your sprouts
This means they are ready to be eaten
Did you see how easy it was?
Just soaking them, tying them in a bundle, and washing them
By the 4th day, the world's healthiest food is ready to be eaten by you
Different seeds take different time to sprout
But within 4-5 days, they're all usually ready to be eaten
Once they're ready, you can keep them in a glass bottle and put them in your fridge
Remember - before placing them in the fridge, it's really important to fully dry them
You can place them under a fan to dry them
These sprouts can easily last for 5-7 days
Come, let's discuss some important FAQs
1st question - how do we use these sprouts?
the best way to use sprouts is by adding them to your salads
Instead of simply sprinkling some sprouts on top of it, make them a main part of it
To make a perfect salad, add 30% vegetable sprouts
30% vegetables of your choice
like cucumber, tomato, carrot, capsicum, beetroot, cauliflower
and 30% green leafy vegetables
like spinach, coriander, lettuce, cabbage, fenugreek leaves
For 10% topping, you can add delicious homemade chutneys
or dry fruits and grated coconut kernel
You can replace any of your meals with this salad - breakfast, lunch or dinner
Apart from this, you can also add sprouts to your soups
Add them to tikkis
You can add them to anything and eat them
Just remember to add a big quantity of them - at least half a cup
Next question - what do we if my sprouts catch mold?
Some people may face this problem
When sprouts get spoiled, or when a little bit of mold or fungus grows on them,
don't worry
try again
This time place them somewhere with access to fresh air
If there's a window in your kitchen, you can place them near it
or keep a little fan next to your sprouts
Mold or fungus only grows when your sprouts do not get enough fresh air
As soon as you increase this fresh air, there won't be any more mold or fungus
