garbanzo bean soak

[Guest guest]

SO I bought dry garbanzo beans in bulk, put them in a bowl with water,

and they've been soaking for over two days now and they're still very

hard. I was going to make hummus. Should I have just bought the

canned kind? And does anyone have a kick-ass hummus recipe I could

try?

 

Thank you!

soak them overnight and rinse them then dry them thoroughly ;

rinse and dry them for a couple of days ....they should

sprout.

Why do you dry them? I soak overnight, rinse and put in a colander and rinse 3

- 4 times through the day. I only let them sprout until the tail is 1/2 as long

as the bean is round. Any longer they get a " funky " taste to them.

 

And I use any hummus recipe that calls for cans, I just substitute sprouted

beans. Make sure your tahini is raw, though.

Helllo to all:

 

I don't post very often but here's my two cents worth. After

soaking, rinsing and draining I usually rinse and drain 2-3 times

per day and allow to sprout (2 days) only until the tail is about

1/4 " (according to Victoria Boutenko). When processing I may add

Young Thai Coconut Meat to help smooth out. Try this especially if

you're trying to cut back on too much oil per day. I also add

various fresh herbs and/or veggies (i.e. parsley, dill, cilantro,

chives, spring onions, finely ground carrots, and of course some

spicey pepper (optional).

Sounds good Elaine. I've never thought about using young coconut in my hummus.

I'll give that a try next time.

 

Thanks for the tip.

Here is a link to a video of Carol Alt making raw hummus and she shows

a close up of her sprouted bean - kinda fuzzy but you can get the idea

of how far along it is.
