Notes
- Sprouting converts the complex nutrients stored in the seeds into a form that can be easily digested.
- The inactive enzymes present in the seeds also become active after sprouting thereby enabling easier absorption.
- Sesame seeds contain abundance of vitamin B6, thiamine, and niacin among vitamins, and calcium, copper, magnesium, iron, and phosphorus among minerals.
- Adding variety of vegetables makes it rich in fibre.
- Moringa chutney gives the punch of protein, iron, vitamin B6 and antioxidants. (moringa chutney: https://www.lukecoutinho.com/download/Moringa-chutney.pdf)
