1 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
½ cup Chopped Onions
¼ cup Chopped Cilantro

The sprouts add volume without a lot of calories, so you get to eat more! The pepitas also give it a unique texture.
Serve this with veggie strips (bell peppers, carrots, cucumber slices, etc.) and eat it for lunch.

½ small tomato, chopped
½ cup sprouts of your choice (I used alfalfa/radish), shredded (I just used my hands)
1 tablespoon raw pepitas
2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
Simply mix all together

overnight in 2 cups water. You can drink the soak water in the morning. (As per Ayurveda, 5000 year old Indian
Medicine System, drinking water in which fenugreek seeds are soaked is good for Diabetics, it clears toxins
and helps in detoxification. Fenugreek sprouts are also good for nursing mothers as it helps in milk formation).
Sprout the 1/2 cup Mung beans (As per Ayurveda, Mung Bean sprouts are tri-doshic/balancing for all body types)
until the roots are at least seed length.

carrot. Soak 1 cup raisins for at least 3-4 hrs and add it to the above mixture along with juice of 2 limes. Add 1/2 cup

Bean Sprout Salad
2 tablespoon Sesame seeds
1 pound Fresh bean sprouts
thoroughly washed and drained
3 med. Garlic cloves
peeled and minced
2 med. Scallions −− trimmed & minced
1 1" cube ginger
peeled and minced
2 tablespoon Oriental sesame oil
1/3 cup Soy sauce
2 tablespoon Cider vinegar
1 tablespoon Mirin (sweet rice wine)
2 teaspoon Light brown sugar
1 teaspoon Spicy sesame oil
Makes 4 to 6 Servings Fresh bean sprouts are a must for this recipe from China's Hunan province.
The canned variety don't have the requisite crispness. Keep a close eye on the toasting sesame seeds so they don't burn.
PREHEAT OVEN TO 300F. Toast the sesame seeds by spreading them over the
bottom of a pie tin. Roast for 12−to−16 minutes, stirring often, until they are golden. The seeds can be toasted in advance and stored in an airtight container. Place the bean sprouts in a large heatproof bowl and set it aside.
In a medium−size skillet set over moderately low heat, stir−fry the garlic, scallions and ginger in the oil for 2 to 3 minutes, until they are limp. Add all the remaining ingredients, increase the heat to moderate, then boil the
mixture, uncovered, for 1 minute to slightly reduce the liquid. Pour the warm dressing over the bean sprouts, toss well, then cover the bowl and chill the salad for several hours. Toss again before serving
Recipe for "Mung bean Soap?" for bathing
(found on the internet)
Sounds like fun!!!
Mix a little mung bean flour with water and use this paste instead of soap. It smells like freshly cut grass and doesn't
dry out the skin like soap. It is tridoshic and especially good for sensitive skin and conditions such as athletes foot.
You can buy mung bean powder, or flour, from some Indian grocery stores. In India they mix a little turmeric with this
paste and use it as a face wash, though I am a little wary of using turmeric on my skin for fear of looking jaundiced! If
you want to try this be sure to wash it off quickly.
Thought from Glenda: Use the mung bean sprouts (live food) and dehydrate them to make the flour.
