Guest guest Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 I have started sprouting. So far my favorites are alfalfa and clover--but that is all I've sprouted so far. I have started sprouting some Adzuki beans. I read something that beans that are sprouted such as Adzuki and Mung beans should be cooked or at leasted steamed after sprouting to kill bacteria. Does anyone know something more about this? I would hate to sprout and then not be 100% raw by eating them. Thanks in advance.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 I have been eating raw mung beans for years and would never think of cooking my sprouts. Just take care of them when soaking and sprouting. I think most problems with sprouts come from commercial growers that sell to chain stores. Those I am careful with. Fenugreek is a great sprout for all kinds of health benefits, especially the liver. It sprouts in only a day and taste great. So you may put this seed on your next order.

Commercial sprouts are a great breeding ground for salmonella but if you keep your sprouts rinsed daily and NOT sealed in an airtight container they'll be fine. BTW Mung beans should be sprouted in the dark. I have great success sprouting lentils and garbanzos.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 Why the dark on the mung beans. Mine are in the dark any how I soak them overnight and let them dry during the day. As soon as I see the tail they are in the fridge. Bruce The New with improved product search Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 > Why the dark on the mung beans. The light will begin to turn them a touch green and this is a slightly bitter unpleasant tast with mungs. No harm done, just taste function. As far as I know all other beans or seeds can be sprouted in the light. rusty - " Bruce Reid " <bwreid67 <rawfood > Thursday, October 16, 2003 10:12 AM Re: [Raw Food] question regarding sprouts > Why the dark on the mung beans.
