      Hello Prasanna,

      Sprouted health mix can also be made in home just like sathumaavu. The ingredients will be same the only difference is that the ingredients needs to be sprouted overnight dear and extreme care needs to be taken while sprouting.

      Cheers,

      Hi, while sathumavu is made of the pulses, rice and some dry fruits, millet sathumaavu is made from the range of millets, that is the difference. For more information you can check out the ingredients on the pack in our online store.
