Mix Grain - Kwati (क्वाँती, क्वाँटी)

Kwati derives from Newari language and a traditional soup of Newars. It literally translates to hot (kwa), ti (soup). This hot soup is made with 9 or more different sprouted beans and enjoyed as a delicacy on Janāi Purnimā/Kwati Puhni. It has a historical significance in Nepali culture because in ancient days when the food supply used to be scarce, kwati provided farmers with much need nourishment during monsoon’s busy crop-planting season. The tranditional soup can be enjoyed all year long and is great for recovery during postpartum.

When beans are soaked and left to sprout, nutritional values like vitamins, minerals, protein, and fibers are increased by 10 to 20 times than normal beans. As nutrient-dense kwati is prepared as soup, it supplies plenty of minerals, vitamin, and fibers which are beneficial for health. Also, the sprouted beans are easy to digest.
