Goodness of grams

Chinese medicine uses green gram as a remedy for oedema, fever, headache & generalised anxiety & as a diuretic. It is also a folk remedy for arsenal poisoning & other mineral toxins.

100 gms of sprouted green gram contains 30 calories with 3 gms of protein, 6 gms of carbohydrate & 2 gms of fibre. Unlike other pulses green gram is free of flatulence causing agents. Hence it is good for convalescents & good weaning food for babies.
