Green gram is one of the best vegetarian super foods with amazing health benefits. It is also known as Moong Dal in India
Moong Dal is a good source of iron. It protects us from skin cancer. It is loaded with vitamins and protein. Green gram helps us to lose weight. And helps to control blood pressure also.
Sprouted green gram is very rich in protein and vitamin C. But the vitamin C will be destroyed when it get heated.
Pomegranate is also a very good source of iron. It increases the immunity power and control the blood pressure. It also helps to increase the hemoglobin level and is a good remedy for stomach problems and asthma. It is rich in vitamin C and Vitamin K. Pomegranate is the best remedy for bone related problems also.
Moong Chaat is really a North Indian recipe. But, I made little changes in this recipe and my family members like this very much. It is a salad which contains sprouted moong dal and pomegranate and is very healthier snack for elders as well as children.
