Hi, Sprouts are one of the many ways I use beans. My favorite has been the little mung beans. Recently I got a bad batch meaning half the beans are not viable. They don’t sprout. They can break teeth if left in the sprouting process. So, my newest recommendation regarding sprouts is that First overnight soak in the dark, then drain, rinse, and hold in the dark or at least out of the window until the first root sprout starts. At that point go through all the sprouts and make sure they’ve all sprouted. Anything that hasn’t sprouted is good for the compost. Then continue sprouting in the window. Rinse daily. You can eat them anytime. The best nutrition is when the leaves green up.
Lentils are also great to sprout. I love fava beans but soaking can make them go quite soft and I don’t soak before I use them.
Enjoy!
