Tummy doesn't like sprouts

Date: May 03, 2008 11:30PM I just had some sprouted stuff- lentil, pea, and something else mixed in. I liked them but I do not thing I am digesting them very well. Is this something one can get used to or is it possible I just can't handle them?

Too many bean sprouts can upset my tummy too. Re: Tummy doesn't like sprouts

Date: May 04, 2008 01:08AM I don't think anybody digests them well. Maybe if you dehydrated them, it would be easier, but they are really best cooked, even very lightly steamed.
I stick to non-beany sprouts and use them only in small quantities. Re: Tummy doesn't like sprouts

Date: May 04, 2008 02:06AM Odd. I was under the impression that this was a staple of raw eating and I was late in the game. 
oh well maybe just a few of them mixed in with something else would be better I was just eating them by the handful crunching away on them while watching a movie. Re: Tummy doesn't like sprouts

Date: May 04, 2008 02:07AM I can handle 1-2 cups of sprouted beans with no trouble. If I eat more than that... then there's trouble. 
You could try smaller quantities, mixing them into salads or something. Or your body just might not like them! In the end, starches are less than optimal. I'm sure if I ate enough raw corn, I'd get a belly ache. But I was a channa masala/hummus addict before going raw, so these are priceless transitioning tools for me. There are plenty of other sprouts to try--my two newest loves are sunflower shoots (so there's green leaves, not the early germinated seed) and pea shoots! Re: Tummy doesn't like sprouts

Date: May 04, 2008 02:34AM the only sprouted beans i eat are lentils, all the others are hard for me to digest. green leafy sprouts are terrific and just as easy to handle as lettuce, alfalfa, clover etc. and baby greens like soil grown buckwheat and sunflower sprouts are amazing.

I just bought some lentils so I was going to try those on my own. I don't seem to be able to find things like alfalfa anywhere (that aren't already sprouted). -DaveK Re: Tummy doesn't like sprouts

The whole popcorn with a movie thing is kind of burned into my system (and perhaps the american psyche). It's a nice substitute for the conditioned habitual necessity for munching. Did I just say "conditioned habitual necessity?" Anyway you know what I mean I think. I will take my pretentious vocabulary and be on my way. -DaveK Re: Tummy doesn't like sprouts

Date: May 04, 2008 02:36PM You will like lentils....They are large,easy to sprout,and have a nutty taste that is good on their own.Make sure you get raw ones! The common ones in the supermarket wont sprout.

I used to do chic peas years ago and that's how I bought them. Re: Tummy doesn't like sprouts
