That was 11 years ago. We now know so much more about the microbiome - I really hope there will be an update som day.

Sprouting is so much fun! I’ve got tons of videos on broccoli sprouts (http://nutritionfacts.org/topics/broccoli-sprouts/), for example: Biggest Nutrition Bang for Your Buck (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/biggest-nutrition-bang-for-your-buck).

But again, whichever way we like them we should eat them. Why? See:

What about for calcium absorption and building bone health? I have read sprouted makes the vitamins in them far more have bioavailability. Is this true?

You don’t know what else is in those canned beans, that’s not mentioned on the label. Don’t trust processed foods.

Would steaming beans not be healthier than boiling? You figure some nutrients would be leached into the boiling water

So I wonder how much better your beans will be if you soak them and then sprout them.

What about COOKED AFTER SPROUTING???
vs. just cooked and not sprouted…

@mariar1322

👍👍

@rashie

Doc don't eat those canned beans 😋
BPA remember?

@charliebecker4417

I find the sprouting or even just soaking to be an effective way to reduce the gas you get from beans.

@AwesomeFDO789

I wish they had also tested Cooked Sprouted Beans. There is a real possibility that eating them cooked-sprouted is even better than simply cooked.

Is there any fiber lost in cooking sprouted lentils?

@kiwi-v4b
@

Sprouted lentils can be eaten raw. If sprouted chickpeas and other legumes truly need to be cooked, will the "no minutes at full pressure" trick work for them or do they require minutes also?

I love this video! I think it's important to eat beans in whichever way feels best for you. I prefer sprouted, but appreciate knowing the science of nutrition behind the lovely and humble legume :-)

Try eating 6 red kidney beans uncooked and see what happens?

I don't think bean extract can cross the blood brain barrier in any significant amount. Also Wikipedia says that sprouted kidney beans have 59% more protein than regular cooked kidney beans.

@neiloppa2620

Thanks for reminding how easy is it to get some beans into the diet! But generally, the less waste, the less carbon footprint, the better for the planet! Therefore, cook them from scratch or sprout the smaller beans.

If you don’t really like beans you need to stop eating them from a can. You’re missing out

What about BPA in canned foods, I read it's more of a problem in acidic foods like tomatoes.
I never seem to cook properly my legumes and got stomach discomfort after eating it, so canned are far more convinient for me.

@Phi1eap

When you have an automated pressure cooker like the instant pot, it is just as convenient to boil dry bought beans as it is to buy them canned. Dry beans can be bought in much larger volumes for a much lower price and don't have the overly high salt content seen in canned beans.
