doedoechachacha Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Hi! I know this has been asked over and over again, but I just wanted a bit more details as I'm aware sprouted beans are technically okay... But what kind of bean? I have jars of beans at home right now that vary in color and sizes: black, light green, light yellow, pink, large, small, lentils, etc. It's a variety pack. I'm wondering if it's acceptable if I sprouted them and cooked them to eat? If not... Any thoughts on what to do with them?!??? Are they so bad I should eliminate them for good even after the Whole30 (I'm technically on a Whole 90). I would hate to waste food. Thanks!

Moderators ShannonM816 Posted February 26, 2016 Moderators Share Posted February 26, 2016 Sprouted beans are not okay on a Whole30. Some vegetarians who do not eat any form of animal protein may include them as a way to get protein -- that's discussed here. The reasons they're not allowed on Whole30 is discussed in the Legume Manifesto. After your Whole30, you'll do reintroductions, and then use the information about how you reacted to legumes to decide if you want to include them in your personal eating plan going forward, and how often you might want to do that. I might have misunderstood your question, or misinterpreted what you're doing. Bean sprouts of any type are okay, it's just the beans themselves are not allowed. I thought you were talking about soaking beans and then eating them. If you're going to sprout them and eat the sprouts, go for it. (Clearly, I'm not a big legume fan, and don't cook them or sprout them much...) Apologies for any confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praxisproject Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Are you planning to reintroduce legumes? Dried beans last a pretty long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doedoechachacha Posted February 29, 2016 Author Share Posted February 29, 2016 Thanks - yes, was planning to just sprout them. I don't mind just eating the sprouted portion if that means that I don't have to completely waste a bean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doedoechachacha Posted February 29, 2016 Author Share Posted February 29, 2016 I don't plan on reintroducing them ever, and they're just sitting there tempting me to go back to my old vegan diet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praxisproject Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 If you're not planning on reintroducing them, if you can afford it, I'd donate them to a food bank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
