Guest guest Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 Dear jenlynne, don't eat legumes raw unless they are sprouted raw unsprouted legumes contain enzyme inhibitors that can be quite toxic this is also why it's a good idea to rinse legume sprouts well wait until you see a little root poking it's way out of the bean, then you can eat it Susan --- jenlynne79 <no_reply > wrote: > I'm new to raw foods.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Experiment! Everybody is different. That is what I have to say about legumes after studying and experimenting with the rawfood diet since 1993. Moderation is key! I like buying online at http://www.organicfruitsandnuts.com/default.asp Aloha!

Do I have to start making weekly runs to the health food store, or do you order online (I saw some great sites, as a result of the sprouting information), or take a chance that the stuff in the bulk bins at the grocery are still fresh enough to use? Thanks Brenda ______________________ ______________________ Message: 3 Sat, 28 Jan 2006 20:58:15 -0000 " Diana P. " <laurelai3 Re: Newbie questions Thanks for the info on the dehydrator! I realize how silly the question about the legumes sounded. I am not really sure what I even meant by it. I guess I was just not sure if legumes were even " allowed " on a raw food diet. Thanks!
