However, by eating roasted gram with high amounts of salt or oil, this benefit can be transformed into disadvantages.

3. Sprouted gram: Powerhouse of Nutrition

Health experts consider sprouted gram to be the most beneficial. When the gram sprouts, the amount of vitamins C, B and enzymes increases in it. It is also helpful in detoxing the body.

Sprouted gram gives more benefits than eating on an empty stomach in the morning. However, it is more safe to eat by washing it thoroughly and by giving light steam.
