Guest guest Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Sprouting beans: Spread beans on a plate or white sheet and remove and foreign matter, such as twigs and stones. Put beans in a pot. Cover with water. Wash the beans by rubbing with your hands, changing water several times. Soak beans in about three times the water. 1:3. Time: minimum 12 to maximum 24 hours. Change water once or twice. you may see some beans such as moong beans sprouting during soaking, specially when soaking for 24 hours. Decant the water. Beans will be wet. cover and leave overnight. You will see that some beans such as moong beans sprout easily. Some require 24 hours and longer to sprout. You want the sprouted part to be larger, easy! cover the soaked and decanted beans with a plate and put some weight on it. I take a mixture of several types of beans. I buy them from Indian store. Moong, lentils, chick peas, tur, black eyed beans, kidney beans etc. I soak beans in morning, decant water in evening and cover the beans. Next morning I cook in pressure cooker. Kidney beans and chick peas take longer to cook. Moong and moth beans do not require pressure cooker, they cook much faster. As I have mentioned earlier, 1 and 1/4 cup of dry beans provide me with 75 gms of proteins. experiment. i love to expriment. kiran ________________________________ mel8239 <shaggypoo.chaos Tuesday, 26 May, 2009 3:59:43 AM Re: I am vegetarian Oh that is funny Maggie.

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Hi Kirwan I used to sprout in my last house and stopped because i kept forgetting about them and going away for a few days...NOT a nice smell lol im just wondering where you got the info on 1 1/4 of dry beans as 75gms of protein? I used to calculate that it was approx 7gms per cup dry for lentils and 14gms for mung beans. Im also of the 'had to eat meat to get stable variety' and trying to find protein sources that arent eggs, soy or wheat [irish] Karen , Kiran Agarwal <kiranagarwal2 wrote: > > Sprouting beans: > Spread beans on a plate or white sheet and remove and foreign matter, such as twigs and stones. > Put beans in a pot.
