HOW CAN I USE GARBANZO (OR OTHER) BEANS AND LENTILS WITHOUT COOKING (AS IS REQUIRED IN THE HUMMUS AND CHILI RECIPES)?
In the book Eating without Heating, on Page 84, in the recipe for hummus, it says: 2 cups of garbanzo beans, sprouted for one day. On Page 64, in the recipe for chili, it says: add one pound of bean, pea or lentil sprouts. That’s what we do: we sprout beans. You may purchase sprouted beans in the health food store. Or you may sprout beans yourself. You may sprout only four kinds of beans: garbanzo, adzuki, lentils, and mung. There are many books that teach about sprouting. Books by Ann Wigmore, Steve Mayerowich, Victoras Kolvinskas, and many others. In order to sprout beans, you soak them overnight in pure water, then drain.
