“During the sprouting process, the starch molecules, or complex carbohydrates, are broken down into smaller parts, referred to as simple sugars. Simple sugars are the building blocks that make up complex carbohydrates but in a form that the body absorbs more easily. The body recognizes and readily digests simple sugars for quick energy, as opposed to starches that can be stored as fat. The [seed] sprouts, transforming itself into a plant, and we know that plants consist primarily of simple sugars that easily digest in the body in the form of vegetables.”

How much protein is in 100g moong dal sprouts?

Moong sprouts contain extra proteins: Sprouting increases the availability of proteins. For example, on sprouting, the protein content of moong increases by 30%, i.e., 100 gm of unsprouted moong contains 24.9 gm protein, but on sprouting it increases to 32 gm.

According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) , 100 grams (g) of boiled mung beans contain: 7.02 g of protein. 19.15 g carbohydrate, including 2 g sugar. 7.60 g dietary fiber.

BENEFITS OF SPROUTED MOONG
Sprouts are an essential part of our vegetarian (largely vegan) diet. Legumes, nuts, and seeds are highly concentrated and nutritionally potent food sources. 2 years ago, when we started exploring plant powered, whole grain foods; our nutritionist had specially emphasized on eating lots of sprouts. Below are just some benefits of eating sprouted moong:

Sprouting helps in maximizing nutrition: Though moong beans are packed with proteins, vitamins, and minerals, their nutrients are most accessible when the dormant seed starts to become a live plant. The outer covering often contains anti-nutrients which makes it difficult to absorb the nutrients present in the seed. During sprouting the anti-nutrients are cast away and a powerhouse of nutrition is unlocked.
Sprouting increases the levels of vitamins, minerals, and protein in moong beans. As the tiny leaves and rootlets are formed, sprouted moong beans have more chlorophyll which helps detoxify the body. They also have higher amounts of Vitamin A, C and D; iron, copper, and protein which helps build immunity and boost blood circulation.
Sprouted beans are easier to digest. Moreover, sprouts contain live enzymes and lots of dietary fiber which further help in improving the digestive processes. The enzymes break down the food for easier digestion and the fiber helps in bulking up the stool making it easier to pass through the digestive tract.
Eliminates Flatulence: Many lentil and beans cause flatulence due to the presence of certain carbohydrates. Sprouting eliminates these gas-producing starches.
