Soak your Beans

by Helge Hellberg | May 10th, 2009

If you’ve never done it, try it – it’s easy, and really good for you:
Sprouting your legumes makes them easier to digest and much more nutritionally available – and watching their birth is always amazing!

So, next time you want to cook beans, soak them first for a few days in a jar or straight in the pot you want to cook them in later. Keep them covered with water and exchange the water once a day. After about three days, suddenly, the beans become alive and are starting to develop a tiny sprout on one end. That’s the time when you know you just turned a dormant seed into a living food!
