Guest guest Posted September 5, 2004 Report Share Posted September 5, 2004 Shari: Actually, this quote only indicates the possible production of gas and doesn't necessarily indicate that they shouldn't be eaten. Beans are gas inducing whether cooked or raw. I think this is more a matter of taste and personal preference. M Shari Viger [shavig] Sunday, September 05, 2004 1:37 PM RawSeattle [RawSeattle] sprouted beans from page 85 of the book " Sprout Garden " by Mark M Braunstein: " Having persevered, you now have big bean sprouts. All beans contain both an enzyme that inhibits their digestion, and a complex sugar that promotes their fermentation. hence the notorious, malodorous, musical gas in the gut. Sprouting breaks down the sugar, but does not entirely destroy the inhibitor. Cooking destroys the rest. " This tells me it is not an optimal food, if it is recommended to cook them. Just because something is edible and raw does not mean it is a food I want to eat. I wouldn't eat soy beans sprouted and especially not raw.

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2004 Report Share Posted September 6, 2004 That was still part of the quote and I meant to say " what about this part of the PARAGRAPH " .

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2004 Report Share Posted September 6, 2004 Shari: You helped me solve the " rotting bean " problem. When you mentioned watering 2x a day I realized that I was overwatering. I cut back on my watering and I now have a batch of garbanzo sprouting that have a very sweet and " warm " smell to them. Problem solved and no need for an expensive, automatic sprouter! thanks, M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 6, 2004 Report Share Posted September 6, 2004 Thanks. Interesting. I do enjoy bean sprouts, though I eat them only occaisionally. - " Shari Viger " <shavig <RawSeattle > Sunday, September 05, 2004 1:36 PM [RawSeattle] sprouted beans > from page 85 of the book " Sprout Garden " by Mark M Braunstein: > > " Having persevered, you now have big bean sprouts.

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 So I was at the local organic market this morning and I saw they have a variety of different sprouted beans and seeds there. I know some of you on this list have talked about them, and I was wondering--how do you use them? I like trying new things but I feel so out of my element with this one LOL. On another note, I tried to grow sunflowers in my garden, I planted seeds, but only one sprouted, when I came back from Ranch, something had taken my sprouted seed and run, there was just a little hole where it used to be. I'm thinking that little animal had a very nutritious snack LOL. Heather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Bob, how do you do that? Just toss in a handful into the dough? Do you put it in before kneading?

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Are folks sprouting their own beans or purchasing presprouted? I've heard Quinoa is rather high in protein - does it make sense to use that as part of breakfast and then add an additional protein? I'm just (re)starting the program - tried to go it alone about a year ago and somehow it fell by the wayside - and I'm having a dickens of a time maintaining the level of protein required at each meal, especially at breakfast. Is it bad to add things like the St Yves veggie bologna/turkey/etc slices? I wondering about the sodium content. , Kiran Agarwal <kiranagarwal2 wrote: > > On connecting to the link, I get message, this link appears broken.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Hmm, well I bought sprouted beans twice and didn't know what to do with them and they got moldy LOL. I did sprout them once and used them in a chili which was wonderful. I think it would required quite a bit of sprouted beans to get enough protein. You could definitely have them as part of breakfast. I would love to know what you serve it with. I find a lot of those fake soy meats to be very salty tasting, but it is a personal preference on whether or not you eat them . Heather There are two ways to live your life.
