I've sprouted lentils to leaf stage. They're really cute with those little green leaves but they didn't taste any different to me than lentils with little tails. I didn't intentionally sprout them to leaf; I was being lazy - scooping some out to eat and leaving the rest to keep sprouting rather than refrigerating them. By the way, I made my (Carol Alt's) lentil salad again and instead of just germinating them (soaking eight hours, then using) I went ahead and sprouted them for a day so they had little tails and it was really good. The salad tasted a little sweeter to me, I think. I had to put more tomato in because the volume of sprouts was a little bigger than the volume of soaked (germinated) lentils, but all the other ingredients I kept the same and it was really good. I think I'm going to sprout the salad from now on instead of just germinatingit. Sparrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 I think the only reason is that I just plan a meal around them. I do eat lentils uncooked.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Okay. Thanks much. Melody Beans, Sprouting, Gas Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 06:56:36 -0800 (PST) Ok folks, Sorry if this email offends anyone, I certainlly do not mean to. I have noticed that when I eat cooked beans, espically Lentils they give me horrible, painful gastric symptoms. However, I sprouted the Mix 47 Midnight Moon from Sprout People, Crimson and French Blue Lentils and Black Garbonzos. I ate some in the raw state and then the rest I put in a pot of rice, just as the rice was about finished " standing " so basically the sprouts were not cooked, just warmed in the hot rice. I had NO Painful symptoms at all. Does the rinse soak cycles get rid of some chemical that is causing my symptoms? Would it be a good idea to sprout all beans before cooking in what ever recipie I am doing? To save money I have been using Lentils and Black Beans as Meat in Spaggetti, Lentil Patties etc. I have used extra Kidney Beans in Chili instead of Meat. Thanks in Advance!

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 I'm fairly new to sprouting; I got into it when I went raw (for the most part). As you probably know the idea is that once a food is heated above 118 degrees it starts destroying the enzymes that make it digestible. However, in doing a lot of reading on the subject I've come across advice that we still lightly cook some foods. Broccoli and Cauliflower for instance are actually a difficult for us to digest raw (in the opinion of these authors) and even though cooking them compromises some of the enzymes we are farther ahead by cooking them a little. The same supposedly applies to the larger seeds, legumes and beans (this doesn't apply to the small sprouts, alfalfa, clover, broccoli etc.). I find it interesting that I don't really like these items raw either. I am not sure that I buy that nurses opinion that gas means our bowels are functioning properly. I eat a lot of raw fruits and veggies and don't have any gas or digestive issues at all, unless I eat a lot of raw lentil sprouts. I also trained as a Colon Hydrotherapist and even though I don't remember everything from class I never heard that theory. I've blanched my lentils a couple of times and like them better that way but after reading the post about frying them up in a pan I decided to try that. I wasn't using the wok or high heat so I won't really call it a stir fry but that's pretty close to what I did. Threw some bean sprouts and lentils in a pan with some olive oil and Bragg's aminos. They were awesome! I have to thank whoever mentioned that and got me to try it (Melody wasn't it?) Today I did the same thing but then added some cut green onions, tomato, clover sprouts and soaked raisins to the pan at the very end. It was enough to warm them but not cook them. It was really, really good. In fact my room mate who isn't even close to raw was bemoaning about how good it smelled (ha!) He was even stating that the Bragg's smelled better than regular soy sauce; I might have to watch him around my Bragg's! I'm trying to be as raw as possible which is why I took so long to decide if I was going to adopt this practice. I want to use a mixture of different types of sprouts but really don't like some of them raw. I've been trying to decide whether I agree with those opinions but since I do seem to digest them much better cooked a little (not to mention I probably won't bother eating them raw) I'm going to go with that method. I thought I'd throw that information into the mix to see if it helps anyone's gas issues :-) and say thanks again for helping me to get off the fence and make up my mind.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 I haven't noticed a change in their taste when sprouting the lentils to leaf stage, but then I add my lentils to a huge salad, so all the flavors kind of combine.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 I've been hearing about people making hummus from raw, sprouted chickpeas and I was thinking about preparing this. Now that you're talking about lectins, I'll have to look that up to find out whether these chichpeas can be eaten raw. Have any of you tried to eat raw, sprouth hummus? If so, did it turn out pretty good? Anyone get sick from raw, sprouted larger beans???? I would think that the SproutPeople would warn if their sproutable beans should not be eaten raw, and I don't recall any kind of warning on that website. Maybe that is why someone told me not to drink the soak water of the larger beans. Maybe the lectins, or whatever, comes out when they are soaked. Anyone know?

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 I haven't found a complete list of the beans that we shouldn't eat raw, just a few here and there but I'm pretty sure chickpeas are not on the list. I have found recipes for raw hummus on raw websites (or books - I don't remember). If you did a Google search for - raw hummus recipe - or something like that I'm sure you'll find one. I've tried them sprouted, they a little starchy but pretty tasty.

Now that you're talking about lectins, I'll have to look that up to find out whether these chichpeas can be eaten raw. Have any of you tried to eat raw, sprouth hummus? If so, did it turn out pretty good? Anyone get sick from raw, sprouted larger beans???? I would think that the SproutPeople would warn if their sproutable beans should not be eaten raw, and I don't recall any kind of warning on that website. Maybe that is why someone told me not to drink the soak water of the larger beans. Maybe the lectins, or whatever, comes out when they are soaked. Anyone know?

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 I haven't found a complete list of the beans that we shouldn't eat raw, just a few here and there but I'm pretty sure chickpeas are not on the list.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 They do mention eating beans in moderation and cooking the larger beans do to there more problematic issues " enzyme inhibitors,lectins and the fact the protein glydian is hard to digest and can cause sensitivity to the individual.Thats why humanity soaks and cooks beans from a traditional stand point.Very few people actualy become ill from eating raw beans but many become bothered by bean consumption,gas,bloating and slowing ones transition time.If your looking for high protein with less issues try buckwheat and chia seeds along with good ole sunflower seeds. @...: bhans2@...: Wed, 21 Jan 2009 07:39:52 +0000Subject: Re: Beans, Sprouting, Gas I've been hearing about people making hummus from raw, sprouted chickpeas and I was thinking about preparing this.
