Kathryn Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 I'm in the midst of sprouting some mung beans (ready tomorrow or the next day) and quinoa (ready this evening or tomorrow---if they even sprout. The info in the package suggested they would, but Steve M..., the Sproutman, claims they don't) and need some ideas for what to do with them raw. I'm thinking a raw 'chop suey' for the mung, but I'm open to other ideas. For the quinoa: a raw pilaf or maybe breakfast cereal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_raVen_ Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 You can always use the quinoa as a base for hummous too. You can dry it for a crunch cereal too; though buckwheat oat groats are fantastic for that. they are crunchy and light -- make an excellent raw flour Here is a "Mung Bean Sprout Salad in Outrageous Dressing" recipe from Sprout People - some other recipes there you may be interested in.

Great site too -- very informative. Thanks for the ideas! I hadn't thought of drying the quinoa and making it crunchy (I was thinking of blending with some nut milk), but I like that idea! Did you mean "tabouleh" (usually made from cracked wheat) rather than "hummus" (made with garbanzo beans)? I think at least part of those quinoa sprouts will be turned into tabouleh, and the other half will be a cereal. ' I've got buckwheat on order, so I can try the flour, too. Right now, I've got the buckwheat in the hull to make buckwheat lettuce. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_raVen_ Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Aww, thanks, MV Glad to help! That SproutPeople site is really good. They were the site that taught me most about all things sprouty. I hadn't known about rye rejuvelac before I saw it there. I still like spelt better, but rye is great too. A combo of soft spring wheat and rye is even better Have you ever had it? Seems it's either loved or hated. Kat, it's a toss up when it comes to raw recipes. You may not like quinoa dried. I actually don't like quinoa raw at all; but it's all according to taste with raw, I find. I also *despise* sprouted garbanzo beans. I meant, tabouleh with hummous . It's usually served together (I didn't mean hummous was made of grain ). I used to prefer quinoa instead of tabbouleh or tabbouleh made with quinoa with my hummous; if cracked wheat wasused, especially because it's too processed -- it was good, I just used to love quinoa when I ate grains. Let us know how your sprout stuff comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
