I tried to sprout different beans. But the usual problem I notice is that there is always some fungus that grows with the sprouts. How to avoid this fungus? I tried to pat dry the beans, but problem still occurs. Some help would be really appreciated. Hi,

The thing is that raw kidney beans are quite toxic already. But they are generally sold dried and are very hard so require a lot of cooking to become enjoyable (the cooking breaks down the toxin inside of them). So it's not so much that the process of sprouting makes the kidney beans toxic, they are basically toxic already beforehand. I'm not sure how sprouting affects this and whether it reduces or increases the amount of toxins inside. In any case I think I'd rather be safe and cook them before eating. In order for normal beans to become edible (and the toxins to break down) it takes at least 10 minutes of boiling in a normal pan, not a pressure cooker. I wonder how the time could be adjusted to avoid kidney bean poisoning and yet not ruin the texture of the sprouts. Hi,

Both of u r doing a great job. I will like to share even an easy way to sprout beans.Just soak them in water for 6-8 hours and then drain the excess water and put the beans in a colander with a utensil underneath and cover the colander with a plate. Wash them with fresh water every 2-3 hrs and they will be sprouted in less than 24 hours. hey…This is my first comment on ur site.
