sprouted beans

[Guest guest]

from page 85 of the book " Sprout Garden " by Mark M Braunstein:

 

" Having persevered, you now have big bean sprouts. All beans contain both

an enzyme that inhibits their digestion, and a complex sugar that promotes

their fermentation. hence the notorious, malodorous, musical gas in the

gut. Sprouting breaks down the sugar, but does not entirely destroy the

inhibitor. Cooking destroys the rest. "

 

This tells me it is not an optimal food, if it is recommended to cook them.

 

Just because something is edible and raw does not mean it is a food I want

to eat. I wouldn't eat soy beans sprouted and especially not raw.
