Can you do sprouts? Or make them? Totally not necessary but sprouts from lentil, broccoli, alfalfa, etc. make a vegetable salad even more of a complete meal.

The recipes that dehydrate things and all are fun, but time-consuming and not necessary.

If you do steel cut oats you can soak them a long time and then eat them without cooking for breakfast. Or just have some fruit for breakfast.

That looks yummy.

I have done some sprouts. Our HFS sells an already sprouted mix of lentils and some beans. It is yummy. I have a sprouting jar, and I tried to sprout black beans, but they were too crunchy. or something. How would I sprout broccoli? I would like to learn more about soaking grains. Mostly, I just eat some greens with a little something in them for breakfast.

To sprout vegetables you need the seeds.

Some beans aren't safe to eat sprouted. I am not sure if black beans are one, but I'm pretty sure kidney beans have some sort of toxin that has to be soaked and cooked out. I know that lentils and mung beans are safe for the bean category.

Mommy I'm hungry!!
