Re: Antidote to sensations from beans

[Guest guest]

Try sprouting your beans and legumes.

Before you sprout them, soak for 12-24 hours. Rinse well.

I suggest starting with mung beans first and then lentils.

One or two day sprouted mung beans should give you far less problems

than unsprouted beans. In a very warm climate, you can eat them after

only one day of sprouting time.

They only take a few minutes to cook

If this works for you, you will be able to find a significant variety

of legumes that are sproutable.

_ I've tried eating sprouts in the past & have had a hard time with the taste. I can force myself to eat them up to a point, but after some days, I get tired of it & can't bare them. To me every sprout that I've experimented has a grassy taste to them unless I over cook them. Then I'm concerned about loosing nutrient value. Does anyone have an suggestions?

Are you substituting *beans* for meat mainly to make up for the

protein,

or for other nutrients? If it is about the protein, there are many

options that are much easier to digest (well, for most people), such

as

tofu, seitan, tempeh. All work great in vegetable dishes and you

don't

need to consume large quantities to take in plenty of protein. If it

is about other missing nutrients, which ones? Per calorie,

vegetables

tend to be the best source of most nutrients. I am vegan and I

rarely

eat beans, yet the Cron-O-Meter shows that I easily exceed average

requirements for all nutrients on my 1800 calorie/day diet --> except

for Vitamin D (I mainly rely on sunny outdoor exercise. BTW, I also

supplement B12.) Perhaps you're eating beans (specifically) for

other

reasons unrelated to nutrition?
