Helllllp...is this okay to eat??

[Nani]

Hey everyone!

I just went to Trader Joe's today and saw some really cheep sprouted goods...I got a package of "organic sprouted mix"...containing raw sprouted lentils, raw sprouted adzuki beans and organic peas all for a great price of $1.99.

My big question is.....did they intend for this product to be used raw? Can I eat the raw adzuki beans and peas? I have heard that a lot of raw fooders don't eat raw beans because they disagree with them??....or are not edible?? :confused: AND...if they are cool to eat....anyone have any ideas?? The lentils, adzuki beans and peas are all mixed together.

I couldn't help but buy them....I was having a lazy moment and didn't have any homemade sprouted goods at home. :D

Okay...theres my silly question for the day. :D

I buy those and love love love them. Also the pea sprouts...they are super bliss and I love em. Did I say I love them?

Sprouts are sprouts are sprouts are sprouts!

What i mean is, that sprouts are always raw, and always great (ok, i'm assuming TJ's wont sell poisonous sprouts in the produce section) ans as long as YOU don't "disagree with" adzuki beans or whatever, just munch away!

One day, you will help someone with the same question and they will probably think it silly too. But its on a "need to Know basic", so you asked. IN JOY your Sprouts, add them to a Salad.

Sounds like you got a good deal at Trader joes.LOL

Thanks guys!

Yeah, I was pretty sure Trader Joe's wouldn't sell poisonous food LoL :D But I had heard that raw beans usually weren't always good to eat raw...stomach issues and so forth. I have never eaten sprouted adzuki beans before and was curious. Also since there wasn't any "instructions" on the package, I didn't know if they expected people to cook them prior to eating.

But my brain was thinking....they are sprouted...so eat them raw. But then again....my brain is always thinkin'.....eat it raw. :D

Soo, cool, thanks everyone. I'm off to go eat my mixed sprouted salad :D
