Guest guest Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 Hi everyone, I am new to this board and also to this way of eating. I have a question that is probably basic for most of you. How do you sprout stuff and once it is sprouted do you eat the whole thing? I know you put them in some water but for how long, do you change the water, does the temperature of the room matter, etc? Are there things that shouldn't be sprouted? When people talk about soaking nuts and seeds before you eat them, exactly what does that mean? Sorry to sound stupid but I guess when it comes to this subject I am. Thanks, Lisa _______________ Is your PC infected?

Get some green lentils and if possible get organic. Put 3 tablesoonsful in a 4 oz. glass of water, let soak overnight and then drain the water and leave the glass on your counter with the drained lentils in it. Cover with a porous clean cloth to keep the flies out. As soon as you see the tails breaking out, they're edible. Rise them once a day and when you start to eat from one dish start another. If they taste good to you try garbanzos next and then there are dozens more to try. But lentils are easy, tasty, quick and very inexpensive. You could feed yourself for a month of 5 bucks worth of lentils. Eat them raw as finger food or add to salads and gaspacho or miso soups. I like miso with raw lentils and chives and juilenned fresh raw ginger tossed in at serving. If they don't spout in 3 days then they are dead [probably irradiated] so throw out the supply and get fresh ones somewhere else. rusty - " Lisa Renae " <lisarenae123 <rawfood > Tuesday, May 11, 2004 10:42 AM [Raw Food] Newbie with a question > Hi everyone, > > I am new to this board and also to this way of eating.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 Rusty, I tried to sprout them before. Do you eat the whole thing? I was hard and crunchy. Just curious.
