Canned organic beans okay?

Hi. Just wondering if canned organic beans (like garbanzo, kidney, etc.) are okay to eat as far as raw foods are concerned. I understand about the sprouting of beans (although I haven’t done that yet)—but, I’ve really been enjoying putting chickpeas on my salad, and just wondering if I’m getting all the nutritional value from them. I appreciate your replies. Thanks!

  • Thank you for your replies. I’ll definitely try soaking & sprouting them instead of using them canned. Thanks!

  • FYI – Was at Whole Foods the other day and found fresh sprouted garbonzos, not cheap (can’t remember the price?) but, for those of us who have a hard time getting around to doing sprouts they are very convenient!! Also, taste, texture and quality were better than I expected.
