Why to make ‘Chickpeas (Sprouts) Basil Vegan Sandwich’:
Sprouts, the most healthiest form of any beans / legumes / lentils when compared to them alone.
I had already made a blog post about the excellent health benefits of sprouts, how to make sprouts, how to cook them ( Recipe Link with step wise pics⇒ Sprouts )
Actually, wanted to make something quick and easy yet filling meal, which has carbs, protein, calcium, greens and veggies.
So here I made these yummy sandwiches that have sprouts (for protein), basil (for greens), cheese (for calcium) , potatoes (for carbs), and of course, bread for wholesome benefits.
