Sprouted legumes anyone?

Date: September 10, 2014 08:48PM Just wondering who here eats sprouted legumes regularly? How do you like to eat them?
I didn't like legumes at first, but now I love them mixed with salads and nori rolls. My favorite is sprouted black lentils, but I like several others too. They're best when the sprouts are short. I previously believed there was a protein "myth" and that sufficient calories would always provide sufficient protein. I don't believe that anymore. Legumes are good sources of lysine (an amino acid that can often be insufficient from nuts and seeds), and I think this may be a reason why they contribute to satiety (for me at least).

Date: September 10, 2014 09:40PM Lentils (green, regular size, organic) are my favorite. Best size of the tails for me would be 1-2 times the length of the lentil. Mung bean sprouts are very good also but provide less protein. To me eating mung bean sprouts reminds me alot of eating raw corn which i love. Alot of times I will mix lentil sprouts with sunflower seed sprouts. It's too bad that peas are most often sold as "split" otherwise I have them often also. Before I started sprouting I could not stay raw, and lost alot of weight. I always like the debates on this forum as to which is better sprouts vs high fruit. Re: Sprouted legumes anyone?

Date: September 11, 2014 05:52AM I'll eat mung bean sprouts in a salad. Kind of gives the salad a Chinese food appeal.  Re: Sprouted legumes anyone?

Date: September 11, 2014 02:22PM Maybe my digestive has not sufficiently recovered but sprouted beans still remain indigestible.
There are many other foods to choose from. I do sprout mung beans and lentils but just for fermentation and drinking the fermented liquid, everything else for the garbage. Re: Sprouted legumes anyone?

The silver lining is that if you're composting, there are critters out there who love you!
Does the fermented liquid taste OK? Re: Sprouted legumes anyone?

My diet is very simple, I grow indoor greens and juice them and eat fruits Sprouted beans and seeds are good for fermenting. It will take me too long to chew them and they do not go down easily. I could be just me. Re: Sprouted legumes anyone?

Date: September 21, 2014 04:06PM I regularly enjoy sprouted green lentils, though I haven't been terribly creative with them. Just toss them on salads or with steamed broccoli. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
