Guest guest Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 Your knowledge is always so impressive!!!! An honor to have you on these sites. I'm wondering what is "alot." (people in India) My husband just recently has been adding chickpea flour to his breads (just once a week) - but then compared to all the other foods he eats, I'm guessing it's a much better choice.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 thanks for those kinds words - very much appreciated I think with the chickpea bread it was a staple for them..... why did your husband choose chickpea flour? maybe he can try rosanna's chestnut bread?

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 I think ilanit's post is Ipod Worthy! Recently I have picked up this product from Whole Foods called Munch Mix. It is a mixture of sprouted lentils, aduki beans, and green peas. Rather fun to eat, and a little goes a long way. > > > Ah, but Ilanit, they are seeds > > > yes - but seeds of legumes - right? > > there is some evidence that certain legumes contain lectins which can > affect the immune system in certain people especially if not soaked and > sporuted ot cooked etc > > fro example in a certain region in india people were living on a bread > made from chickpea flour - a lot of it - and because preparing legumes > in this way does not neutralise these natual chemicals people developed > all kinds of health problems etc > > this is why looking to traditional ways (this was a modern twist on the > traditional use of these foods and then as a staple where in the past it > was not) to determine ways of preparing them - like traditional cultures > fermenting grains and legumes etc > and why the modern use of soy protein and soy flour in EVERYTHING is so > detrimental > > > - and sprouting is the first step a seed does - and then they grow > > into beautiful plants where there is even more wonderful nutrition, > > either for other animals, us, or the earth (when they fall back and > > turn into compost). > > > absolutely!

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Aww - thanks!!! that mix - is it already sprouted? sounds yum!

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 you met him??!!! wow! How cool. I have his books - they are great. And years ago these little flax fibre sprout bags. or were they hemp? anyway - cute idea. he wrote a vey funny book on digestion wrote: Ilanit Tof - Signature Yes, the mixture comes sprouted. I thought it is interesting the company has aduki beans in it. At the housewares show, I met the person known as the SproutMan, http://www.sproutman.com/biography.html He is huge on sprouting of course and has written many books on it. He is behind a well known sprouter we sell too, and was there to promote it. your nori roll idea sounds great ilanit, and fun too!

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 hmmmm, you've started an idea brewing in my head what to do with the zillions of seeds I have that I'll never get around to planting - but I don't think I'm that brave. I love that you are. Klara Bender wrote: I'm game (or is it gamey??). Obviously it can't hurt in small quantities. As I understand soaking grain (seeds) for 12 hours or more starts the sprouting process (a post I was thinking about writing). Sesame seeds, pumpkin, sunflower, almonds, quinoa and millet taste better and are tastier when they are roasted. I'll try both methods in small quantities and report.More posts re seeds?? keep em coming. B.Klara LeVine wrote: Ah, but Ilanit, they are seeds - and sprouting is the first step a seed does - and then they grow into beautiful plants where there is even more wonderful nutrition, either for other animals, us, or the earth (when they fall back and turn into compost). Interesting question, tho, , whether we can just eat them as seeds. Flax seeds also are just seeds, but are more difficult to digest, but then also sesame, that's why both are better used by grinding first. Are you an experimenter, ? Ilanit, you said you are, would you dare try??? Really a good question - wonder if anyone in the macro world has tried. Klara Bender wrote: Thanks for the info - sprouting it is.

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 I've used the sprouting bag made from hemp. It's great for larger seeds that usually take longer i.e. mung beans, wheat etc. Not too good for smaller seeds i.e. alfalfa, clover etc. I checked out the newest sprouter that mrntioned and as the Texan would say "I got to get me one o' them". B garysmiller234 wrote: Yes, Steve was siting at the end of the table for a company that sells his sprouter when I saw him. He apparantly goes to most of these shows. He did have some of his other sprouting stuff there too. Those sprouting bags are made out of hemp, and really are an inexpensive way to do simple sprouting. Yes, the mixture comes sprouted. I thought it is interesting the company has aduki beans in it. At the housewares show, I met the person known as the SproutMan, http://www.sproutman.com/biography.html He is huge on sprouting of course and has written many books on it.
