I love beans and peas.I particularly like sprouted chick peas. It's easy to do. I just soakthem for about 10 hours, drain and rinse them and then leave them without any additional water. I rinse them 3-4 times a day. I like them when the sprout is just appearing (which takes no time at all). John likes them when the the shoot is about to sprout some leaves. He dosen't always get a chance to eat them, as I've often eaten most of them at the eralier stage!
I've just posted an article on the benefits of eating beans on Health & Goodness web site:
