Why did we choose to have fun with sprouts? 

For two reasons:

#1 – Healthy Eating – Sprouts are called miracle food! They are one of the most nutritious food to eat. They contain fiber, protein, minerals, vitamins & enzymes. Fiber helps you digest better,  protein makes you strong, and minerals & vitamins adds more energy in you!

Of course, it our family’s favorite snack! We enjoy eating them raw but absolutely love eating them in the form of salad.

#2 – Science Experiment – Sprouting is a very good science experiment for kids because it helps them to learn the process of germinating seeds.

So, what’s the ‘Sprout-Salad’ recipe?

Learn about Indian Culture

While making the recipe, have kids learn about the Indian culture  and  download the following coloring & writing worksheets.

Coloring Sheet 1: Rangoli is an Indian folk art in which colorful patterns are created on the floor near entrances or courtyards using materials such as colored rice, dry flour, colored sand or flower petals. It is usually made during festivals such as Diwali (Festival of Lights), Pongal, and more.

Coloring Sheet 2: Deepak (or diya) is an oil lamp, usually made from clay or brass, with a cotton wick dipped in oil. Clay diyas are used for lighting during special occasions such as Diwali (Festival of Lights), whereas diyas made of brass are permanent fixtures used in homes and temples.
