PureLiving® Sprouted Garbanzo Beans

Sprouted Garbanzo Bean Hummus
Tuna-Bean Salad with Creamy Lemon Dressing

With their assertive, earthy flavor and meaty texture, PURELIVING Organic Sprouted Garbanzo Beans are used to being the center of attention. But they're just as comfortable playing a supporting role as a protein- and fiber-rich base for stews, chilis, casseroles, and so much more!

A natural process for preserving the many wonders of new life, sprouting increases the bioavailability of key nutrients in the whole bean and simplifies their absorption by the body for energy and nourishment! Learn more about sprouting here.

Cooking Directions: Sort and rinse. Cover with water and soak overnight. Drain, then bring 2 cups fresh water and 1 cup Sprouted Garbanzo Beans to a boil. Reduce and simmer 1½-2 hours, or until tender. Drain, season to taste, and serve.
