Sprouted lentils, black eyed beans, partridge peas, peanuts and vetch retain phytates which cause poor digestion and gas Alfalfa sprouts are mildly toxic - do not eat them every day, and avoid them if you are a cancer patient, have a weak immune system or suffer from inflammation" I had heard that you should not ingest sprouted kidney beans and this is what I have found on the net:

This allows you to keep the seeds moist without them sitting in water. There are sprouting kits you can buy that are plastic containers with holes in them.

I have never tried it but I'm assuming you would sprout them but not let them get very long and then just stir them into your bread near the end of mixing. Let us know if you you try it!

I sprout wheat grains to make sprouted wheat bread. It's really easy and the bread tastes great! I haven't tried any other grains yet, but I would like to try sprouting barley to make malt powder.
