How to Sprout Your Raw Beans
- Rinse and cover dry beans in filtered or spring water in a glass jar. Cover jar with cheesecloth, sprouting screen, or mesh sprouting lid.
- Soak beans at least 8 hours (overnight works great).
- Drain and rinse beans thoroughly. Drain by placing the jar on an angle to allow airflow to still enter.
- Repeat rinsing and draining 2 to 3 times per day. When you wake and before bed are good times.
- 3 to 4 days for chickpeas/garbanzo beans, or until sprout tails appear and are the length you’d prefer. (1/4 inch sprout tail is recommended for full nutritional benefits).
- The same method for other beans and legumes, but the timeframe may differ to achieve germination.
