Directions
Cooking: Sort, discarding any stones, debris, or malformed beans. Rinse in a colander. Soak overnight or about 6–8 hours in warm water, using at least 3 cups of water for every cup of beans. Drain. Boil enough water to cover beans by at least 1 inch (use the soak water or fresh). Add beans to boiling water. Bring to a boil and simmer until tender, adding more water if necessary. Season to taste.
Sprouting: Sort, soak, and drain as directed above. Place in a roomy container, such as a quart or gallon jar. Cover with a loose woven fabric, nylon stocking, or mesh secured down by elastic or a rubber band. Rinse and thoroughly drain 2–3 times daily until sprouts reach desired length. Swish out seed caps in a basin of water if desired. Sprouting legumes until roots form decreases cooking time. Sprouting them to the two-leaf stage is said to bring them to the peak of their nutritional value.
