Am I missing something? Is there a reason that I am seeing a whole slew of nut/seed recipes, lots of sprouted buckwheat – but after browsing for awhile, I have yet to see any with sprouted beans/legumes and what about quinoa/millet?? (Poorly constructed sentence there, sorry!) It seems like the recipes on this site – though some really great ideas – are rather limited to a fairly small range of (mostly sweet) ingredients. Where/how do you get enough protein? What food do you eat that leaves you feeling content/satisfied? Especially when you are making the transition? Please help me out in understanding. Maybe I need to just do more reading on this one sometime. I’m not eating the SAD at all. For the past year have cut out most grains/processed foods/sugar/and eat 90% or so organic. I’m wanting to incorporate more raw/vegetarian meals but am seeing potential issues w/raw as it relates to my health/protein needs.

Greetings family…i have sprouted lentils, and loved them. I”m a little weary of soaking and sprouting other beans because I’ve read/heard that our bodies don’t digest beans well unless they are cooked. So, I’m about 95% raw as I do cook a pot of beans with veggies on occassion. Ardesmond2, you add a really beautiful vibe to this site…i appreciate you. Enjoyraw, I’m single, and in recent times that men have expressen any interest in me and I tell them that I eat raw foods, I get that “look.” I’m joyful, though. This is one of the best journeys I”ve ever been on, and this one will not end. Peace and blessings…
yes…i grew up on our so called soul food. we seem to forget that our ancestors had to eat that food, and as we have always done, they made a meal out of nothing…something out of nothing. true soul food is food that feeds the soul, not our continued oppression. so, i hear you about if a man is not willing to respect my journey, and i know this is truth. i want a relationship where we are both healing, growing, loving…when the time is right, there he will be! oh, about sprouting..when i sprouted the lentils, i soaked overnight, drained the water and put them in a strainer with a bowl underneath and a damp papertowel over the top. they sprouted in 1 day. so, i think you’re only supposed to soak overnight, then you take them out of the water to sprout. peace…
you’re welcome, ardesmond2. as someone who also enjoyed the creative process of cooking, I’ve been really excited by all the great recipes on this site, and other sites, too. I’ve experimented with a few that have been amazing, and a few that have not turned out as great. but just like with preparing cooked meals, this is all part of the fun, and how we learn and grow our raw repertoire! This journey is one that continues to expand and heal me, and for this, i am always grateful. peace..
