Answer the following questions

Question 1. Why is it important to soak certain ingredients before cooking them?
Answer: Soaking helps soften the ingredients, reduce cooking time, and remove impurities.

Question 2. What are some commonly eaten sprouted seeds, and how are they sprouted?
Answer: Common sprouted seeds include mung beans (moong dal) and fenugreek seeds (methi). They are soaked overnight, drained, and then kept in a damp cloth or sprouting jar, rinsing them twice a day until they sprout.

Question 3. What is the recommended time for sprouting seeds, and why does it vary?
Answer: The time for sprouting seeds varies depending on the seed and environmental conditions. Generally, it takes around 2-4 days for sprouts to grow. Factors like seed variety, temperature, and humidity can affect sprouting time.

Question 4. Why do doctors and nutritionists recommend eating sprouts?
Answer: Sprouts are recommended for their nutritional value. They are rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and enzymes. They are also easier to digest compared to un-sprouted seeds.

Question 5. How did Gopal’s mother ensure the chana seeds would sprout?
Answer: Gopal’s mother tied the chana seeds in a damp cloth. This created a moist environment necessary for sprouting by providing the seeds with the required moisture.

Question 6. What would happen if the seeds in Bowl 3 (no water) were left to sprout?
Answer: The seeds in Bowl 3, without water, would not sprout. Sprouting requires moisture, and without water, the seeds would not undergo the germination process.

Question 7. Why did Gopal soak more than the recommended amount of chana seeds?
Answer: Gopal thought the recommended amount of chana seeds would not be enough for eight people. Therefore, he soaked an additional two bowls to ensure there would be enough for everyone.

Question 8. What inspired George Mestral to create Velcro?
Answer: George Mestral was inspired by the seeds he found sticking to his clothes and his dog’s fur after a walk. Observing them under a microscope, he discovered tiny hooks that inspired him to develop Velcro, a material with similar hooks used for sticking things together.

Question 9. How do seeds travel and spread to different places?
Answer: Seeds spread to different places through various methods, including wind dispersal, animal dispersal (through fur or digestion), water dispersal, and human dispersal (intentional or unintentional).

Question 10. What are some seeds that have been brought to different regions by humans?
Answer: Seeds like tomatoes, potatoes, and green chillies were brought to India from South America by traders. Over time, these plants became an integral part of Indian cuisine.
