Date: May 24, 2008 02:50AM hi. just a quick question:
are all beans raw? I bought some mong lentil and alfalfa sprout beans at the healthfood market. Do i just immerse them in water and wait for them to germinate? Or does it have to say it's "unprocessed" or raw on the label? Also got organic raw almonds? Do i need to sprout them ot just it them as is?? i've read that their enzymes become activated when you immerse tehm in water. Thanks Re: beans and almonds

As for beans, it depends. Most are raw but not all are sproutable. The best way to know is sample different ones and see which ones sprout tails.  Re: beans and almonds

Soak the mung and lentils for 12 hrs,and then rinse twice a day thereafter. They should have tails in a few days. If not,then they werent raw. But most health stores where you buy those beans in bins...they are raw. Brian Re: beans and almonds

Most sold here anyway are from US so not safe to eat soak them, they will get fat ..then can be made into milk..or dehydrated Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
