Guest guest Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 hi Lucy, I am vegetarian and i meet my requirements using sprouted beans. I sprout beans at home. Kathleen has mentioned in the past that for vegetarians maintaining proteins is a difficult task. I also find it difficult to maintain the required protein amounts. I sprout 1 and 1/4 cup of dry beans for one days protein requirements of 75 gms (for my body weight). I boil sprouted beans generally in a pressure cooker or a slow cooker. This gives me about 3 cups of boiled beans. I take 1 cup of beans for each; breakfast, lunch and dinner. For variation I use Kathleen's Georges shake, cottage cheese and rarely tofu. Yogurt is used mainly for taste, it is not a good dense protein source. For vegetarians in India, sprouted beans or dehusked beans(known as daal, example: moong beans give moong daal) are always cooked for lunch and dinner both. If you want I can elaborate how I do it, so you do not have flatulence or gas in stomach.

I have become almost vegetarian on step 7. Doing it from a steady place worked for me. Even so, I had to do it very slowly and gradually to stay steady. I agree with mel-maybe change a meal here and there to start rather than change all. Congratulations on getting steady on step 3 too.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 hi Kiran I've always wanted to sprout beans, but never have. This past week I had delicious sprouted lentils which I found even better than non sprouted. I have heard Kathleen say that it is very possible to do the program well as a vegetarian. Could you expand your sources at all? Mel , Kiran Agarwal <kiranagarwal2 wrote: > > hi Lucy, I am vegetarian and i meet my requirements using sprouted beans.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 You know what is funny? I found out about RR several years ago because I was researching how to sprout beans at home. There was some sort of ad or link to an article that Kathleen wrote on the side of the web page on sprouting. I was so distracted by RR that I forgot about sprouting beans. I would love to sprout beans at home, as well as learn how to dry my own fruits and veggies.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Oh that is funny Maggie. Maybe we could learn abut sprouting together. Does anyone know of a simple guide? Or would you talk us through it? I could get going this weekend. Mel , Maggie Vining <Maggie.Vining wrote: > > You know what is funny?

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Gosh! When you say covered do you mean by a lid? Or a cloth? And how many seeds can you do at a time? Would a coffee jar work? Can I use any bean, seed, legume? Oh & how long does it take? Is it best to keep one species to itself? Sorry Lucy I started thinking of questions & more came out.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 I have the same questions as Mel and more! Walk us through it step by step if you have the time...: ) Also, I'm so new to this subject of sprouting. What is it done for? Does it improve the quality of the food itself, improve digestibility...? Thanks!! Janine On May 26, 2009, at 1:18 PM, mel8239 wrote: > > > Gosh! > > When you say covered do you mean by a lid?

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 I became interested in sprouting because it is an inexpensive and eco-friendly way to obtain nutritious/raw food. It's a great way to get a little bit of home-grown food especially when you do not have room or time for a garden. There are also a lot of uses for the milk that comes from the sprout juice, but I am not ready for that! And I too am curious about seeing more info!

Start with a handful and see how that turns out. A large coffee jar would be fine. Yes you can use any bean, seed, grain as far as I know. Length of time varies from one seed/legume to another, opportunity to experiement. Yes you can mix species. Ta da! Hope you have fun with it. lucy > Gosh! > > When you say covered do you mean by a lid? Or a cloth? And how many seeds can you do at a time? Would a coffee jar work? Can I use any bean, seed, legume?

I don't know about digestibility, but as it increases the enzymes that may mean that it helps digestion. The steps are easy: Rinse about a handful of seeds/legumes Put them in a jar the size of large coffee jar Cover to keep out flies Rinse them twice a day When they have sprouted eat them, yum! Good in sandwiches, salads, or just as a side dish. Different seeds/legumes take different times to sprout, sometimes you have to be patient and just keep rinsing twice a day. If you don't rinse them they will go smelly and yuk. Have fun Lucy > I have the same questions as Mel and more!

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 thanks Lucy . Just a reminder to the list that one of our Rules of the Road is to not post links without getting permission from Kathleen first. The reason for that is that there could be some liability on Kathleen if the information is false, misleading, harmful etc. I know our intentions are good when we want to post a link but best to be safe then sorry! It's easy to get Kathleen's approval, you can just bring it to my attention privately and I'll handle the rest . Heather There are two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle. --Albert Einstein ________________________________ fleetlucy <fleetlucy Wednesday, May 27, 2009 2:42:02 AM Re: I am vegetarian , Maggie Vining <Maggie.Vining@ ...> wrote: >Hi all, Here is a website link to sprouting that looks quite good: http://www.primalseeds.org/sprouting.htm Lucy > I became interested in sprouting because it is an inexpensive and > eco-friendly way to obtain nutritious/raw food.
