Soaked pulses

[peg53]

Hi I am wondering does anyone soak pulses? I have read a few articles that say they are brilliant and a few that tell us to steer clear. Yesterday I went down to the supermarket and bought around 10 different types of pulses and some brown rice and I have mixed it together. I took a few handfuls out and soaked it for 14 hours overnight rinsed it in boiling water this am and feed it to my indoor fids they are loving it. I am just wondering should I have cooked them or sprouted them or do what I have done. I frequently try to sprout seeds but they seem to take for ever and then I worry about bacteria build up and things and end up throwing them away. My husband says I bet they eat all kinds of moldy rotten stuff in the wild but like I say to him if he wont eat it I wont let my babies eat it either lol. thanks .

I am glad that I am not the only one who has trouble with the sprouting. I am wondering how many times to feed in a week or would it be ok everyday?

FYI To get good sprouts one should start with seeds intended to sprout. Check out Avain Naturals and you will see some nice ones.

Overnight usually means 8 to 10 hours. I would refresh the water and let them soak until ready to use. As you are cooking keep an eye on the liquid in the pot as you may have to add water or broth (chicken or beef - your preference).
