I’m just crazy about this soaked, sprouted bean/lentil product. Of course it’s organic, but it’s also available at Costco for a great price! It’s the TruRoots Organic Sprouted Bean Trio and it contains mung beans, green lentils and adzuki beans.
Most of us know that we should eat beans and lentils once our intestines have stabilized enough to digest them. Although your gut may not be able to process canned beans, this product may be fine because the beans and lentils are already soaked and sprouted, making them much easier to digest.
In a perfect world, you would have enough time to soak and sprout your own beans and lentils, but for many of us, this extra step means we avoid these highly nutritious foods. That’s the other reason I LOVE this product – it’s actually easier and quicker to make than rice!
