Date: June 29, 2008 07:12PM hey flygirl, i just googled this info recently. it will help explain the benefits of sprouting. it's not a must in the raw vegan diet, but i find personally they add punch and flavor to my dishes, eating them solo or combining them with salads, etc. they are nutrient dense living foods. :-) hope this helps and take care.

Date: September 01, 2008 08:08PM It's just another powerful way...nutritionally...to take more responsibility, control and consciousness over one's diet. Sprouts are very powerful nutrition!
-Shelled sunflower seeds are very easy to do.....as are mung beans (they turn into Chinese bean sprouts!). Alfalfa sprouts are also good. Lentils can be a good thing to try. -The process is very easy. Simply soak your large seeds or beans overnight (and your small ones for 4-6 hours. Then strain/rinse thoroughly in cool water. Drain excess water. Just place in a bowl covered by a dishtowel and keep in a cool area (room temperature) out of the sun. Just repeat the process of rinse, strain & drain 3 times per day....until the sprouts reach the maturity/taste you like. -A great site is: [www.sproutpeople.com] -Hope this is helpful. -David Z.

Date: September 11, 2008 04:45PM I have found that mung beans,peas,and lentils all sprout at the same rate.
So I just combine them all together now in one jar.I used to use separate jar for each one. Brian Re: how to sprout

Date: October 02, 2008 12:28PM My wife has sprouted Mung beans before then cooked them :>( . Can you sprout any grain or nut, then eat the sprout raw? What about rice? We have a lot of Brown rice. Re: how to sprout

Date: October 14, 2008 05:18PM I have experimented with sprouting rice, and while I did get some of it to germinate it was extremely prone to mold. I decided that it was not worth it. I did have more luck with the grain quinoa. I know some raw foodies soak rice to soften it enough for eating, but I haven't tried that myself.
There are some sprouts which are known to be unsafe when raw, most notably kidney beans. As a result, I tend to avoid sprouting any beans that are shaped like kidney beans, just in case. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
