Thoughts on Mung Bean Sprouts?
I do alot of sprouting, mostly mung beans and alfalfa sprouts, but also include lentils and other legumes. I often eat the mung beans when they have just been soaked, for about 24 hours. Does anyone else do this and if so, how do you feel about not waiting for the tail to appear?

I have eaten them with just the very first indication of root, but I like them best when the root is around the length of the seed itself. No rule for me, just preference. Mung are a favorite. Quick and easy! Lentils too. (I tend toward lazy with food prep chores)

Thanks for your thoughts. They must have a higher nutritional value at this stage also, don't you think? I soak them in luke warm water and drain a few times before I eat them, but they are always crunchy and sweet. I guess I was just a bit concerned about tearing up my digestive system! But I am still alive, right? ;) I guess it's a matter of listening to my body. I like them for breakfast, with a little apple cider vinegar and about a teaspoon of flax oil.

Definitely, yes, I recommend observing how they affect you and making adjustments accordingly. (OK, that's my stance on most raw / health things...true : )
I'm sure some people would sprout them longer just to soften them up more. Or, as you prefer, just chew the heck out of those short, sweet crunchy things!
Have fun in any case....right?
