Weight and health benefits. bean sprouts are low in calories (only 26 calories per cup) but high in protein, vitamins A and C, and folic acid—a dieter's dream food. How to use it. Sprouts are terrific in salads, stir-fries, and almost any mixed vegetable dish. To maintain their crisp texture, they should be stir-fried no longer than about 30 seconds—add just before you're finished cooking. They're best when bought fresh (avoid any that look limp or are brownish in color), but they can be stored in the fridge in a sealed plastic bag with a bit of water for a day or two.

However, this antienzyme factor is destroyed either by sprouting these legumes or by cooking them. So bean sprouts or cooked beans are okay. The same is true for grains rich in phytates, which can bind to beneficial minerals. The two main digestive enzymes, amylase and protease, are found in many foods. For centuries humans have put these food enzymes to work by predi-gesting foods before eating them. Fermented and aged foods are examples of this. However, raw foods also contain these enzymes, which become active when we chew them.

Avoid roasted, salted nuts and seeds. Instead, choose raw, unsalted nuts and seeds in their natural state, as they provide a good source of healthy fats. Limit daily consumption of nuts and seeds to 1-2 small handfuls per day (approximately Vs-Vi cup). Any more than this can be challenging to digest. If you have known, or suspected problems with your liver/gallbladder or just a generally weakened digestive system, do not eat any nuts or seeds initially. Later, when your digestion is stronger, you can introduce them, starting with a few almonds and see how you do.

The corners where they sit are like havens of calm and quiet in the middle of the crowded, noisy market. The obaas treat the beautiful white plucked sprouts tenderly as they carefully pack them in plastic bags.
