Sprouts are underrated. They are not that hard to make, expensive to buy, delicious and very nutritious. I recently sprouted mung beans. Here is a blurb about the nutrition in mung beas:
Produced from mung beans, the sprouts are free of cholesterol, and are ideal for anyone counting calories. One cup of mung bean sprouts contains only approximately 30 calories, 3 grams of protein, only 6 carbohydrates, and only .2 grams of fat. Sprouts also contain a high source of fiber, are easily digestible and contain a high concentration of enzymes facilitating the digestive process.
I made a bean salad by sprouting mung beans for 3 days and black eyed peas for 24 hours. I added them together with a little lime juice, a can of Rotel tomatoes with Jalapenos, and slightly cooked green beans. It tasted really good and gives a healthy dose of protein. You can also just add sprouts to any salad to get 20% of your daily protein.
