Sprouted Moong/Muung Beans


Need to get your fiber on? ...or add some 'Raw' food to your diet and cut back on eating beef and other fatty foods? Try sprouting some beans and adding them to your salads...

If you do not own a sprouter you do not have to go out and buy one...soak a few cups of beans over night...place some wax paper on the bottom of a pan or plate...spread them out, and cover with plastic for another day...

...and guess what happens...they are 'live' food...anything that can still sprout like potatoes, onions, carrots, beets, and most beans that are exposed to dark and cool conditions will sprout something...they are edible...and if you cook them below 110 degrees on low heat it is considered 'Raw'...a healthy diet...

Hubby and I are looking to get back to my healthier way of eating...so I am introducing this to family and friends...my Texas Caviar Salsa Dip...you would eat these in a salad with cucumbers, tomatoes, onion, or any other 'Raw' ingredients, and a little Red Wine Vinegar to dress...
