sprouted beans less toxic when raw?
my son recently went to a friends house and was offered 'sprouted raw chick
peas'. but on my packet of dried chick peas for the supermarket it says, 'do not eat raw'. when beans and legumes sprout do they then become less toxic?

Many years ago when I sprouted things, if I recall, you bought special seeds for it.

The theory is that the substances that inhibit sprouting of seeds also
inhibit digestion of the seeds and may inhibit absorption of key nutrients or even be more or less poisonous, depending on the seed. Providing the right conditions (mainly moisture and mild temperatures) permits the inhibiting substances to be neutralized so that sprouting can occur. At that point, more nutrients become available, both to the plant and to us. Breads made with sprouted wheat and/or other sprouted grains are supposed to be much more nutritious and easy to digest than bread made from regular milled grains, even whole grains.

Many years ago when I sprouted things, if I recall, you bought special seeds for it. I think that was for a different purpose. Apparently a lot of the dried beans/seeds that you buy are processed at a high enough temperature that they won't germinate. The "sprouting beans" are handled so that they will germinate.
