Best Time To Eat Sprouts According To Ayurveda - #3315

I’ve been trying to incorporate more healthy foods into my diet, and sprouts seemed like an easy and nutritious choice. I’ve been eating them as a snack in the evenings, but someone told me that might not be the best time. It made me wonder what is the best time to eat sprouts according to Ayurveda, and does the timing really affect their benefits? I usually eat sprouts raw, sometimes adding a bit of lemon and salt for flavor. While they taste great, I’ve noticed that my stomach feels a bit bloated afterward, especially if I have them later in the day. Could this be because I’m not eating them at the right time? From what I understand, Ayurveda emphasizes eating foods when your digestive fire, or Agni, is strongest. Does this mean the best time to eat sprouts according to Ayurveda is during the day, like around lunch? And are raw sprouts harder to digest compared to cooked ones? Another question I have is whether eating sprouts in the morning is a good idea. I’ve read that Ayurveda discourages cold or raw foods in the morning when Agni is weaker. If that’s the case, how should I prepare sprouts to make them easier to digest early in the day? Also, do the type of sprouts matter? I usually eat mung bean sprouts, but sometimes I mix in chickpea or lentil sprouts. Does Ayurveda suggest different times or preparations for different types of sprouts, or are the general principles the same? Lastly, are there specific combinations to avoid? I’ve heard that mixing raw sprouts with certain fruits or dairy might not be good for digestion. If that’s true, what are the best combinations to eat sprouts with for maximum benefits? I’d appreciate if you could explain the best time to eat sprouts according to Ayurveda and share tips on how to prepare them in a way that avoids bloating or indigestion. I’d love to keep them in my diet, but I want to make sure I’m doing it right.
