beans?

Do you sprout beans or can you just soak them and eat them? Oh, and I have been dying to ask this question….Are crockpots okay to use when going raw? Thank you for all of your helpful suggestions; we appreciate them a ton:)

    I think you need to sprout them and all kinds won’t sprout well because of the hard shell. I have seen a few recipes on here for mung beans and my bf did a mexican dip with aduzki beans (sprouted). A word though – if you are expecting them to taste like cooked beans, they don’t.

    Here are sprouting chart. The beans are on there:

    For the crockpot, if you are just mildly warming a raw soup, than I don’t see why not. But do crockpots go to that low of a temp? I would just be careful when heating things in it so they do not get too hot. Over heat them and they won’t be raw anymore.

    in my limited experience most beans i have sprouted are more bitter than i like. i just made a delicious raw hummus though! i spouted the chickpeas for close to 4 days. soak 24 hours, then sprout for 3 days(rinse at least 2 times a day) i used pretty much the standard hummus recipe, maybe adding a bit more lemon juice. i got raw sesame seeds and made my own tahini paste. i’ve had 2 non-raw friends try it and they can’t tell the difference!! delicious and nutritious.
