Hi Friends! I will write about a snack for the evening which can be easy & healthy for you.
It is a snack from sprouted Mung (a green lentil pic below). It is an Indian lentil which is packed with nutrients potassium, magnesium, folate, Vitamin B6 & fiber. Magnesium helps in muscle repair& control stress. Potassium is known to maintain the Sodium Potassium pump & lower the blood pressure. For pregnant women Vitamin B6 & folate are important nutrients for child growth. Unlike the black beans they are very small in size and do not need to be cooked before eating. Also being a vegan option can be enjoyed by everyone.
