How to prepare raw foods?

Question

I looked at a website telling what could be eaten on a raw food diet, but I'm confused. It says you can eat chickpeas, black beans, wild rice, oats, millet, etc, but how do you prepare them without cooking them?

Answer 2

You soak them in water until they are squishy and sprouted.

Answer 3

Yeah, you eat them after you sprout them. Raw "cookbooks" often have information on how to sprout, including sprouting times. You can eat them alone or with other foods (in soups, salads, spreads, etc).

Answer 4

u sprout them

Answer 5

It is not wise to eat raw beans and grains such as those you have named as the beans contain toxins which can make you sick if eaten raw. The grains on the other hand, contain nutrients which are not unlocked until they are cooked and often eaten with certain other foods.

Answer 6

You soak them in water this isn't considered cooking them

they are dry when you buy them and you are rehydrating them to eat them

there should be long directions and quick directions on the bag.

good luck
