Sprouting Beans - Lentils, Mung Beans, Chickpeas - Super Easy Method

[@RAWlike100]

You sure can. My husband likes them in shepherd's pie very much. We just briefly boil them for 5 minutes first to remove any digestive inhibitors, then add them to the pie and bake. You can use these beans in so many recipes that would call for beans... even hummus/dips. The texture is a little more fresh-like (not as starchy) because some of the starch was consumed by the legume during the sprouting process. Cheers!

awesome video!!! I'm going to start sprouting for me and my dogs. They are on a vegetarian diet due to allergies and I bet this will be even better for them in combination with their dog food. I will do further research first though. Thanks for this!!!

[@Pavlovafowl]

Very clear and logical explanation of the seeming enzyme and cooking conflict and also very well presented. I am about to make your sunflower pâté recipe and have had to go out and buy the organic sunflowers as I do not have enough of my own. The price here in France for organic sunflowers has doubled recently and this is for last year's harvest but with continuing fallout from Fukushima reaching Europe this is not surprising. Thanks for your videos we really enjoy them.

[@WhatALifeish]

I like your simplicity of explaining. Cheers.

[@siszam]

I bought one of those jar tops with the metal screen from ebay. It didn't fit any of my jars either. It seemed to be irregular. I sent it back and got the plastic tops with holes in them. Those fit and work very well. Thanks for the informative video. I enjoyed it.

[@michele3838]

Thank you! I have never done this, and I am so happy that I found your video. I liked how you explained things so clearly. I am excited to get started. :)

[@DabneyFountain]

Scientific explanation of why to sprout, excellent video.

[@BonnieandMikeBoonies]

Thanks so much for your wonderful video. You packed a whole bunch of awesome information into this. Thanks again!

[@GypsyTheGoatOnTube]

You are so informative, I love that. I soaked to many lentils for my soup and had leftover. Didn't want to waste and your helping me with that. So, after you boil them do you have a favorite way of eating them? I would like to know please. Thankyou

[@avedanut]

wow thanks for sharing! i just bought some mung beans tonight and was wondering how the heck to start cooking them, very informative video

[@jarice4657]

Thank you for your video. My son and I are watching for homeschooling :)

[@GazmendCeno]

Thank you for the useful (and very practical) info!

[@luckyfire3]

Great Video! I'm trying this this weekend for sure.

[@TiriT87]

Yesterday I ate my first sprouts eveeer!!!! Thank you SO SO SO SO SO MUCH!!!! they were delicious :D!!!!! =) And so easy xD!!!! Love and Light =)!

[@RAWlike100]

Exactly! They cook like greens or veggies. When sprouted, mung beans, lentils, even chickpeas... all of them cook (boiled) in about 5 minutes and have a more 'veggie' or sprout like-texture and lightness to them. Many people have an easier time digesting them this way.

[@RAWlike100]

@ldyInBluJeanz Thanks for the feedback! After the sprouts are briefly boiled, they are simply placed on a salad or used in a rice / pasta dish. Sometimes, I just drizzle them in a little oil & Herb salt and eat as is. They are an addition to whatever I am eating at that meal. They can even be blended with oil, vinegar, and herbs to make a chunky salad dressing or basil pesto.

[@Maianara]

Great video and so well explained! amazing! Thank you.

[@wsmith160]

Glad you mentioned cooking thank-you.

[@ldyInBluJeanz]

Great, down to earth and easy to understand video...Love your videos! Can you elaborate on what you put on your 'bathed' sprouts. Your mung beans...do you just toss them in a salad? How do you most enjoy your sprouts?

[@thejimmilner]

Thanks for the video and info.... Just a question though, once they are boiled for the "5 minute bath" as you call it can they be stored in the frig and eaten cold? I sprouted years ago and mostly clover and small seeds. I am looking forward to trying the beans.

[@anaitisfairy4273]

Save lots of money and less waste!! Buy a yard of screen at home depot for a buck or two, cut circles out if it (little larger than diameter of jar mouth), place on top of jar, screw on metal rim and there you go. Thanks for the video and info.

[@NeonAera]

I recently been sprouting beans for my health, but I was wondering.. and it's been bugging me.. what is the point if we are to sprout them.... and then just going to cook/boil them out anyway? Won't they lose their nutritive properties by a large percentage or something? Especially when we boil them to make sure their toxins are lessened and eat them when they are blanched. Of course, the fiber and protein is still there.. but meh, what about the minerals/vitamins? Sorry for so many questions. Maybe we can eat them raw instead? Thinking about blending them raw for smoothies, dips, or something interesting. Thanks! And great video.

[@lolavonvegan6770]

I'm so excited gonna try this 😀thank u

[@TheHappyApe]

Thanks - really useful. I'll try my first lentils today!

[@kat_c225]

Hi, Love your video...very informative. I was wondering if you I could warm the sprouted lentils for a few minutes in a bit of coconut oil. Thank you for the video.

[@toddrandall473]

Thanks very much! Very helpful!

[@olitonottero7620]

super helpful thank you

[@jonnycapone1]

Great video, have you tried GABA rice? works great with brown shortgrain. Also if you havent, you must try and order some black spanish radish, they grow into tiny black golfball radishes with a tap-root ready in 30 days flat. but the sprouts are phenomenal, sone of the fastest ive seen, i bought this specific radish because its argued on forums to be the spiciest.

[@1veggiemonster]

Thanks for the reply. Interesting...so when sprouted do they cook more like sprouts now as opposed to beans (seeds)?

[@GreekGirl102]

thank you you've been a great help for me! im in 8th grade and im doing a science project on lentil seed germination and i needed to know how long it takes for them to germinate so thanks for that :D and this was some pretty good information :) thanks a lot!!! Do you know anything about growing lentil seeds on paper towels?? Do you have to rinse anything out and stuff?

[@mviera70]

Hi! I just tried my first ever sprouted lentils I personally sprouted my self and i didn't like that raw taste either lol. You're the only one actually mentioned about that odd taste in any sprouting video Ive seen. Does it lessen the amount of nutrients once it's been cooked or does it matter if it's cooked or raw for to get the benefits of sprouting? Thanks!

[@j.c5078]

Good stuff thank you!

[@gardongabaron]

what the..... all these tattoos? crazzzzzy

[@carpii]

So she has some tattoos. What of it?

[@GuyPresse]

Great video, thank you.

[@davidkelly8145]

I had no problems sprouting pinto beans using this method.

[@music39726]

Could you please make more videos or post more information. You are very knowledgeable.

[@brewhaha2010]

cheese cloth and a rubber band works great!!

[@cbzombiequeen58]

walmart has a wooden dish rack pretty cheap, i put 8 jars on it and put a pan to catch water

[@thatbme35]

Raw turf.Yummy!

[@jdjanedoe731]

THANK YOU!

[@DabneyFountain]

Smart + cute. Thanks.

[@RAWlike100]

@cnaatwork Some species of lentils are flecked with black (specifically dupuy lentils)... if the seed shell has black flecks before soaking, then it is just part of the seeds appearance... but if the black spots appear after you start soaking them... then I would toss them. Use smell and your best judgement. (This is why cooking is suggested as it not only reduces any digestive inhibitors, but it also would kill any bacteria that may grow).

[@cnaatwork]

Hey, I got a black spot on some of my green lentils. Does this mean there are no good? Do I have to throw all of them out? Thanks!

[@cbzombiequeen58]

can you do a show ,long one ,on useind them,im growing sprouts but have a hard time cleaning micro sprouts,and useing them,salads get boring

[@luisquintana2248]

Wow she's a looker, she made my Mung Bean Sprout.

[@knowledgeizkey9]

I was wondering do you eat these all raw?

[@vermiman]

I use plastic canvis to make my jar lid inserts.

[@JeffreyViews]

You can make nine large mouth sprouting lid meshes for just seventy-five cents.

[@henrydehaan6538]

i just put on a cut up flyscreen with a rubberband but several times i had to throw away my beans because a couple turned soft and bad ... what did i do wrong???.

[@RAWlike100]

If you are going to use flyscreen, make sure you only place it on the jar when you are rinsing and draining... Keep it removed while the beans are draining on an angle. This way the beans have full access to air and can dry / grow properly. My guess is that the flyscreen is very fine and can end up trapping too much moisture in the jar (as well as not allow enough air to circulate). If you already do remove the flyscreen... it could be that the beans are too old / no longer viable...

[@henrydehaan6538]

I'll try that out ... green beans and lentils have worked the best for me so far. Beans wich split up have been more challenging ... could it be that too much movement causes them to go to waist???.

[@RAWlike100]

henry de haan Chickpeas, Mung Beans and Lentils are the best for jar sprouting. Avoid trying to sprout any beans from the "phaseolus vulgaris" family such as black beans, kidney beans, pinto beans, navy/white beans, etc... these beans are not successful sprouters and they also contain a toxin callled phytohaemagglutin which needs to be destroyed via boiling. That is why you see these types of beans typically sold as 'canned' beans as the canning process inactivates the toxin and makes them safe to eat. I only sprout chickpeas, mung beans, lentil, sunflower seeds (shelled), buckwheat, and quinoa. All these have worked great and are eaten raw by some people (although I still do cook mine briefly).

[@henrydehaan6538]

Allright,thanks for the info ... i'll have to get rid of my white beans then. You were right about the flyscreen allthough placing then upside down it still holds the water.thnx!!!

[@1veggiemonster]

soooooo we can use these sprouted beans to cook in a shepherd's pie?

[@RAWlike100]

My advice is to cook them briefly... personally, I don't eat them raw... some things are instinctual - and my instincts tell me not to eat them raw... that taste is nature's deterrent... there are many phytates, lectins, and other natural toxins that plants exude to prevent them from being eaten. It's the plants natural defense system to ensure its survival... honor your body and its reaction. Cook them to reduce / eliminate these anti-nutrients. Legumes value is their protein content.

[@keeelane]

when you boil or cook any food it reduces the vitamin c content. not sure about other vitamins tho.

[@RAWlike100]

@TJsoutherngreen You can go to sprouting-dot-com or Google "Mumm's Sprouting Seeds" to get to the website. They service both Canada and the US! They have the small black and brown lentils which sprout the nicest as well as the sunflower seeds, mung beans, peas and many other grains - I even experimented with sprouting my own breakfast cereals. It is definitely easy to do once it becomes part of your daily lifestyle routine. Awesome that you are exploring this stuff ;-)

[@ekeanorroberts823]

Eat raw in salads, yummy & good for you

[@pdomesticgoddess]

just go to the hardware store and buy a piece of screen and cut to fit. saves money. No metal ,fabric.

[@tdginter]

Quinoa & Buckwheat are not actually grains, despite the fact that they're often referred to as grains.

[@mviera70]

So what can I do to pass that taste... I really don't like it. Maybe if I keep trying I may get used to the taste?? Or season them really good and mask that taste? Lol.

[@baddoggie101]

Not all the vitamins are destroyed by that very brief cooking. Cooking them briefly is a good idea if just to kill the bacteria that might have got into the beans while sprouting. People have been known to suffer food poisoning from sprouted beans. Sprouting beans reduces the amount of protein to one-third the original. Sprouting and cooking also reduces folate from 70% to 7%.

yer sleeves actually look like sleeves,,,;]

[@danthadon87]

the monster zit on the right is making me want to throw up, how the hell is it related to sprouts??

[@xintrepidxmindx]

seems like a lot of work for something you can buy a heap for a buck

[@chuckknight]

1) Fresher is always better, and growing it yourself ensures it is as fresh as possible. 2) They cost a *lot* more than a buck where I live.

How sad (and gross) that you have ruined your arms with those dirty looking tattoos - you are an attractive young lady and you will regret having those in later life.
