Ragi Sprouts Salad | మొలకలతో రాగి సలాడ్ | रागी अंकुरित सलाद | special desi recipes

The staple food of ancient India was Millet, instead of Rice. Following our busy life the major biggest change happen is with our food habits. We quickly forget our indigenous foods and chase standardization. Millets too have been discarded as being too primitive to be used, forgetting the roots. But, now again we are digging back the roots for a healthier life. Millets have lately been hailed as superfood grains, which are great healthy alternatives to refined flours. We have introduced many millets like Foxtail Millet, Kodo Millet, Finger Millet, Pearl Millet, Barnyard Millet, and Sorghum. Whole millets and millet flour are naturally gluten-free and a great alternative to rice and wheat in most recipes. Finger Millet is one such super grain that has recently made a comeback. Finger Millet, also known as Ragi ( Nachini ) is an important millet grown extensively in various regions of India. Tiny millet with bigger health benefits. Ragi is a whole grain that is gluten-free and a staple in South India. It is an extremely nutritious millet, that same looks like mustard seeds and is rich in fiber and high levels of protein, which helps with weight loss and helps to regulate blood sugar levels. And it is composed of essential amino acids, calcium, good carbs, and Vitamin D.

Ragi flour is prepared by either crushing as whole dried grains or spouting, drying, and then grinding them. Many recipes with these tiny seeds like ragi malt, ragi dosa, ragi idli, ragi salad, ragi roti, etc. Sprouts offer increased nutrition than the whole. Making ragi flour with sprouted ragi is more nutritious than normal ragi flour. As I recently read in one article that "Sprouting ragi increases calcium levels by almost 20 % and also increases iron content by almost 10 times".Once ragi are allowed to sprout, the vitamin C levels increase and lead to further absorption of iron into the bloodstream and help to battle anemia. Ragi is one the natural relaxant as it contains ample amounts of amino acids and antioxidants that help the body to relax naturally. It also works wonders for maintaining young and youthful skin.

How To Make Ragi Sprouts? The process of changing ragi grains to sprouts is quick and easy but, the nutritional benefits are huge. To make Ragi Sprouts, firstly buy high-quality ragi from the stores. Then thoroughly clean the ragi by rinsing it in water twice or thrice. Then soak the ragi seeds in water for about 24 hours i.e. 1 Day.

Note: That means if we soak the seeds today at 8 pm, Water should be removed again tomorrow at 8 pm After 24 hours, remove water from the ragi and tie in the cloth, and hang it for the next 48 hours i.e. 2 Days. Usually, sprouts will start growing after 5 hours and tiny sprouts after 24 hours, and long sprouts after 48 hours.

Here am sharing the post on ragi sprouts salad which is a very healthy and easy recipe that goes in minutes. A salad is a dish consisting of mixed pieces of food, sometimes with at least one raw ingredient. Ragi sprouts salad is done by sprouting the ragi seeds and then mixing them with nuts and seeds. Here in this recipe, I used sesame seeds, flax seeds, raisins, and almonds. To make the recipe tastier I used grated jaggery or jaggery powder for sweetener. As the sprouts themselves will be sweet but, the taste of the ragi will be lightly bitter, to cut that bitterness add jaggery to have the good taste. Ragi sprouts salad can be eaten as it which just one ingredient raisins also.
