Sprouted Ulunthu Powder: How We Craft a Protein-Packed Superfood for Growing Champions

Updated: Mar 29

🌱 Hey Nourishment Ninjas! Ever wondered how we turn tough urad dal into a digestive superhero for your little ones? At The Tiny Scoops, we’re rewriting the rules of legumes—no bloating, no bitterness, just pure, sprouted perfection. Let’s spill the (sprouted) beans!


Preparation steps for sprouted Ulunthu: harvesting, soaking, germination, drying, grinding, and seiving.
Preparation steps for sprouted Ulunthu: harvesting, soaking, germination, drying, grinding, and seiving.

Step 1: Handpicking the Finest Urad Dal

We scour local farms for plump, creamy-white urad dal—no splits, no stains. Only the best beans make the cut, because your tiny tot deserves nothing less.


Step 2: Washing & Soaking – The Purification Ritual

  • Triple Bath: Washed in filtered water infused with turmeric and rock salt to cleanse impurities and boost antibacterial power.

  • 24-Hour Soak: Beans luxuriate in water until they swell to double their size, softening their stubborn outer layer.



Step 3: Sprouting – The Alchemy of Patience

  • Dark Room Symphony: Soaked dal is wrapped in breathable cotton cloths and nestled in a warm, dark room for 72 hours. Slow sprouting coaxes out snow-white, 1-inch sprouts—nature’s stamp of nutrient readiness!

  • Anti-Nutrient Knockout: Sprouting slashes phytic acid by 60%, freeing up iron, calcium, and zinc for tiny bodies to absorb (Journal of Food Science).

Fun Fact: Our sprouts are so tender, they melt in your mouth—no “bean bitterness” here!



Step 4: Sun-Drying – Golden Goodness Unleashed

  • Solar Kiss: Sprouts bask under the sun until they turn golden-brown and crisp. Sun-drying preserves delicate B vitamins that electric dryers might destroy.

  • Crunch Test: Snap a sprout? If it crackles like autumn leaves, it’s ready for grinding! 🍂



Step 5: Grinding & Ultra-Sieving – Silky Smooth, Every Time

  • Cold Grinding: Stone-ground at low speeds to prevent nutrient loss from heat.

  • Triple Sieving: Powder is sifted through micron-fine mesh three times. We lose 25% of the batch, but grittiness? Never an option for tiny palates!

Why Parents Cheer: Smooth as almond butter, gentle on tummies! 👶



For the Sprouted Ulunthu & Nuts Mix

  • Nut Trio: Almonds, cashews, and pumpkin seeds (roasted slow and low to preserve oils).

  • Seed Boost: Added flax seeds for omega-3 brain power.

  • Perfect Harmony: Blended in a 65:35 ratio (more dal, less overwhelm) for a balanced, toddler-approved taste.

Toddler Superpowers: 12g protein per serving + iron for playtime stamina!


Why The Tiny Scoops’ Sprouted Ulunthu Stands Out

✅ Ayurveda-Approved: Revered for postpartum recovery and child growth in ancient texts.✅ Small Batches: No stockpiling—freshness is non-negotiable.✅ Toxin-Free: Lab-tested for heavy metals and pesticides. Always.
