Date: July 01, 2006 02:22AM Does anyone sprout garbanzo beans successfully?
I find that I have to wash the beans as often as six times a day in order to keep them from spoiling. The beans themselves seem to produce some kind of toxin that dissolves the lil' sproutlings, not to mention stinks up my entire kitchen. Only with frequent washing (best done with purified water) and thorough draining have I sprouted edible garbanzo sprouts. Does anyone have techniques for better garbanzo sprouting?

Date: December 25, 2006 09:14PM Daikon is right. I've found some beans don't sprout, they just rot. You probably have a bad batch of beans.
As far as how to sprout, I trust The Sprout People. Here is their documentation on garbanzo beans, [www.sproutpeople.com]. It doesn't mention the no rinse method on that page, but when I purchased an easy sprouter from them a few years ago I remember instructions stating that you can sprout them at 50 degrees Fahrenheit with good air circulation over a 6 day period with no rinsing. I did that a few times in my refrigerator and they turned out great. I've also sprouted them at room temperature with good results and made hummus out of them. The hummus isn't very creamy though and I wouldn't want to eat too much of it. When I added chickpea miso and cashews to the hummus the consistency was much more like cooked hummus. Maybe some zucchini would be a nice touch. Jalapeno adds a tasty kick to it. You can make no-bean hummus out of zucchini or almonds if you don't like garbanzo sprouts but want hummus. The sprouts are great just sprinkled whole on salads as well. Re: garbanzo sprouts

Date: December 27, 2006 01:38PM I have sprouted organic garbanzo beans and they're delicious. I lightly steam them and eat them without .... refunding anything afterwards.
I do agree with the original poster that garbanzo beans require a lot of attention in terms of frequent washing; otherwise they tend to smell bad (but still sprout). rc Re: garbanzo sprouts
