I soak them pretty well intially, then when I rinse them I swirl for several minutes. Not sure why this is happening. Also same problem with adzuki beans. I end up having to boil them and put them in stews etc so it's definately not rocks because it all ends up soft.
How long do you sprout for? Also where do you keep them while they sprout? I keep mine in a dark cupboard.
Sprouted chickpeas are delicious! Actually they're my favourite sprouts.
I also need to find raw almonds and sprout those but they're impossible to find. I'm hesitant to order from overseas as they may be irradiated. Sprouted lentils are also next on my list.
Marc I keep looking at your mung bean sprouts and they look amazing. Are you using a sprouter? I just use a pyrex glass bowl and glass lid.
actually now I think about it my chick peas have always been organic and locally produced, yet my mung and adzuki beans were not organic and sourced from overseas (my local health food store ran out of organic stock so I bought a bag of the non-organic from the supermarket). Irradiated perhaps, and maybe causing sprouting issues. Can you sprout an irradiated bean?
I shall need to source organic beans and start all over again and see if I have the same problem.
