Dried Beans in Smoothies
Posted by: Wheatgrass Yogi ()

I bought some Organic Dried Baby Lima Beans. Strange thing, they're White. I soaked 3 Tbsp. overnight (pouring off the soak water) and had them in my morning Green Smoothie in place of the usual nuts or seeds. Has anyone else tried Dried Beans without sprouting them first?......WY

Thanks La_V for your encouragement. We all need to do more of that, don't we?
I've decided to try to sprout the Lima Bean Seeds. If they sprout, I'm going to continue to use them in my Green Smoothies. If they don't sprout, I'm going to throw them out. I can remember, years ago, going through a 'Bean Sprouting' stage (Mung, Adzuki, etc.). It's fun to experiment......WY

I use sprouting beans in my smoothies but I do not use them unless they have sprouted for at least a couple of days. They still have plenty of enzyme inhibitors coming out of soaking, if your were to eat they will be difficult to digest unless they have sprouted for a couple of days
