Green peas
Green peas are known as one of the first crops ever cultivated by humans. Originally grown in Asia and the Middle East, this plant is presently grown across the world because it does not require special conditions or care. However, though being low-maintenance, green peas still offer plenty of health benefits. If they did not, they probably would not have remained a popular ingredient in many cuisines of the world for centuries. Peas are relatively low in calories in comparison with beans, and cow-peas. 100 g of green peas provide only 81 calories.
How to Sprout Beans at Home
- Yields approximately 3 cups (1/2 lb.) of sprouts. Prep 3 tablespoons of beans, then transfer into a bowl or into your sprouter. Add 2-3 times as much cool (60°-70°) water. Mix beans up to assure even water contact for all.
- Allow beans to soak for 6-12 hours. Empty the beans into your sprouter (if necessary). Drain off the soak water. Rinse thoroughly with cool (60°-70°) water. Drain thoroughly! Set your sprouter anywhere out of direct sunlight and at room temperature (70° is optimal) between rinses. Ensure sufficient air-circulation is provided.
- Always be sure to drain very thoroughly. The most common cause of inferior sprouts is inadequate drainage. Rinse and drain again every 8-12 hours for 3 days.
Enjoy your home-made sprouts!
