These delicious wraps are a healthy and nutritious, and they make a great snack or lunch to go. Tabbouleh is a traditional Levantine vegetarian dish. Usually its prepared with bulgur or couscous. In this version sprouted quinoa was used instead. Thus we get the version with less calories but richer in nutrients and also more delicious. Sprouted quinoa is especially healthy. Its a source of all essential amino acids, making it a complete protein and is rich in vitamins, minerals and fiber. Also its gluten free. Sprouting quinoa is relatively easy because it has a notably short germination period. Sprouting quinoa will neutralize the phytates and enzyme inhibitors that make quinoa hard to digest.
