    Health Benefits of Sprout Chilla

According to the USDA, 1 cup of green moong dal has 49 grams of protein. And, having it in the form of a chilla also helps in losing weight.

    • The fiber content of lentils rises as they get to sprout. Sprouts increase the quantity of insoluble fiber in the gut. Thus, it aids in forming stool and its passage through the digestive tract.

    Lentils are the best source of protein for vegetarians. All the dals, be it toor, moong, arhar, etc are rich in protein. Protein helps to build muscle and repair tissues. Rice is a good source of carbs, that too- resistant to starch which gets fermented in the intestine to give rise to healthy bacteria. So, combining both of these makes the perfect well-balanced meal.
