Are dried beans or legumes considered a raw food that would be able to germinate!
Question:
I am wondering this because I am trying to adopt a "raw food" lifestyle and can't seem to figure out where to get raw beans. When I go into health food stores, I never see a label saying that the majority of them are raw like most raw foods are labeled, yet I have seen one bean labeled "raw" only ONCE! I cannot believe that the majority of these stores would only carry ONE type of raw bean (non-heated or roasted). I am assuming they are all just dried. Please help!
Answers:
As long as you avoid the roasted kind of beans, or the ones that are salted, with flavorings, etc. most of the other beans should be raw. I have germinated wheat berries into a good health drink. Buy small amounts, put them between damp paper towels in a dark, warm place and keep the towels damp (not soaking wet) and you should get sprouts in a day or so.
