Guest guest Posted November 28, 2002 Report Share Posted November 28, 2002 BlankDeborah, good point. . .I believe that the sprouting process would probably take care of toxins. Vicki, I've wondered the same thing and decided there must be something about those being young (non-matured) soybeans -Edame- not having developed the toxins. OR Maybe my college Food Science instructor was wrong! I've wondered about that also. . . Let's keep gathering information and see if we can find some solid facts on this issue. LaDonna PS: My holiday baking is *slow*. I have Heidi's pie crust recipe 1/2 done. .. .and the ingredients for the rest of my baking set out. I must get busy as the hour is getting late. . .next on my list is the Benton Sister's Whipped Cream. How are the rest of you doing? PSS: Susie, a broccoli salad at the supermarket deli looked great this afternoon. I asked what was in it. . .raisins, purple onions, sesame seeds, and sunflower seeds. I wanted to try it out, but it had bacon in it so didn't. I think the sesame seeds would be delicious, don't you? http://www.Christian-Vegan-Cooking http://www. http://www.VintageVeganTea http://www.VeganMenus4HealthyLiving http://www.AllNaturalSweetenerRecipes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I may address that even though I'm not Vicki... I think you may be right about that. The various toxins developed in nuts, seeds and beans (pulses) are mostly (as I understand it) enzyme inhibitors, developed as the pulse reaches maturity to put the pulse into stasis and keep it from either deteriorating or sprouting until the conditions are right for it to sprout in the next growing season. Any pulse that is still maturing has yet to develop enzyme inhibitors. Deborah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
