Sprouting is so much fun! I’ve got tons of videos on broccoli sprouts (nutritionfacts.org/topics/broc..., for example: Biggest Nutrition Bang for Your Buck (nutritionfacts.org/video/bigge....
But again, whichever way we like them we should eat them. Why? See:

• Beans, Beans, They're Good For Your Heart (nutritionfacts.org/video/beans...)
• Beans and the Second Meal Effect (nutritionfacts.org/video/beans...)
Mostly I just used canned. See Canned Beans or Cooked Beans? (nutritionfacts.org/video/canne...)

Dr. Greger, you're the one person I go to when my carnivore friends start to ask me questions. Your videos are always the most convincing...because none of it is hyperbole and none of it is opinion-based. You are a ROCK STAR & I love you!
I wish they had also tested Cooked Sprouted Beans. There is a real possibility that eating them cooked-sprouted is even better than simply cooked.
It is, they wont tell you this. This is how our ancestors did it
Thanks again! Where would we all be without Dr.Greger!?
these nutritional facts videos contributed greatly to me eating more beans. THANKS!
Enjoy the gas! :)
@@04dram04 Actually, if you start with small servings your gut will get accustomed and you’ll have less or no gas. He talks about it in another video.
I love your tag line: Until Now.
Well done
Wait. What if I sprout the beans and BOIL the sprouted beans?!?! That's what I've been doing. What about cooked sprouted beans!!!!??
Awakenedblue LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL I WAS JUST ABOUT TO SAY THIS! WE WIN!!!
Same question came to my mind! I wish the study had done this! :)
I do this too....I cook sprouted beans and lentils at a very low heat. Did we get an answer to the question from Nutrition Facts? I need to know!!!
joining to the question
Also wondering this. Not all beans are desirable to eat only sprouted and not cooked.
Of course, preferably pick the low salt versions if using cans.
I love this video! I think it's important to eat beans in whichever way feels best for you. I prefer sprouted, but appreciate knowing the science of nutrition behind the lovely and humble legume :-)
Tried both ways, canned is easier but I also like raw green beans right off the plant...
When you have an automated pressure cooker like the instant pot, it is just as convenient to boil dry bought beans as it is to buy them canned. Dry beans can be bought in much larger volumes for a much lower price and don't have the overly high salt content seen in canned beans.
Thanks for reminding how easy is it to get some beans into the diet! But generally, the less waste, the less carbon footprint, the better for the planet! Therefore, cook them from scratch or sprout the smaller beans.
Love the take away: all of the scientific data concludes... wait for it... *just eat beans*
FINALLY! Affirmation of my childhood dream of eating beans every day!
This is so encouraging facts, Thanks!
GREAT video!!! Thanks from Germany. :-)
You're the best! I wonder, can you tell us how you come up with topics for and make your videos? My husband and I had a small debate about how you might do this, lol :)
secret to perfect beans..soak overnight in enough water (do not use too little water) and secondly..boil for about 45 minutes (with no pressure cooker) and most important rule............................DO NOT add salt until beans are soft or they will not become soft no matter how long you soak or boil them
+Lulu Del thank you!
+Lulu Del or just use canned beans and rinse them... no need to soak!
thank you :)
Yeah used canned and get BPA poisoning.. and pressure cooker preserves nutrients better than any other cooking method but soaking overnight in warm water is still needed for optimal results IMO.
Canned beans are pressure cooked (by law, they are then canned under pressure) . SO EXCEPT for the terrible chemistry which comprises the plastic resin lining canned are way up there in terms of nutrients/health.
I use canned as back ups. Much better than no food, imo.
LOVE IT! Thanks!
Great info!!!!
Realy nice,I love it.
This video has caused a significant increase of flatulence in my household..
+Fierceyed dairy and beans cause gas. cut dairy and gas goes away.
Ohhhh but in my case it's da beans, man, and they so awful. But I love 'em, they good fo me, good cheap protein, none of the fat that has mowed down so many loved ones. I eats them thankful.
i think the gas problem should pass if you eat them regularly. at least i have absolutely no gas and i eat 250g (dry weight) of beans every day.
jannu jokunen that is exactly my experience as well, once I got used to eat beans a few times per week, I really never experienced the flatulence I used to have initially... possibly it's the microbiome that needs a bit of time to adapt.
Fierceyed lol
Very interesting. Thanks for another great video!
I find the sprouting or even just soaking to be an effective way to reduce the gas you get from beans.
Canned what? Are you sure canned beans do not represent a significant degree of toxicity compared to boiled beans from a plastic package? Am I too paranoid?
You have the right to be. Research is very lacking in that department
Wow amazing!
Awesome video!
You are the best!
Those look like christmas lima beans. I had some and they are absolutely amazing!
Skip the can ---boil your own beans.
This takes an hour of boiling and many hours of soaking. Better have a pressure cooker handy too...
+AstralStorm yes...I have a pressure cooker, but I prefer soaking my beans overnight and cooking them in my crock pot during the day. That way I can flavor them myself and I like the taste of them best after they have been slow cooked in with some garlic and onions. It's really not a big deal, it just takes a bit of planning. Now, if I wanted beans to add to chilli, I would probably be fine with making those in a pressure cooker. However for beans that will be eaten alone, I much prefer my crock pot.
is this guy even a doctor or does he just read other peoples nutritional articles
beans are one of the most nutritionally dense foods in the world, the body works on ability to metabolize food vs the nutrition you get from metabolizing it, if there was a way to make corn easier to digest it would make you get more sustenance from eating it, just like cooking beans makes them more nutritional
after soaking them, i still recommend sprouting
What about COOKED AFTER SPROUTING???
vs. just cooked and not sprouted…
I don't know if you've ever talked about the subject of "metabolic damage" but it's a topic i'm interested in....wondering if it's actually a real thing (??)
Dear Doctor, as I add more boiled beans to my diet I get more gout. Any suggestions on how I might maintain a daily bean intake while avoiding painful gout?
Those with autoimmune arthritis, or even osteo, or gout . . . . I think we are good contenders for the SPROUTED bean - as the various lectins in various legumes can cause reactive inflammation : (
Dr. Greger, please whst is the quantity of Beans or legumes for a diabetic person?? 1 cup ,2 cups?? How much? Thank you!
Hi, Sergei Fitzgerald Fih! The amount of brans and legumes is not really different for people with diabetes than for others. Dr. Greger's Daily Dozen nutritionfacts.org/daily-dozen/ suggests 3 daily 1/2 cup servings each of beans and whole grains. Scroll down on that page for the infographic that is available in multiple languages. You can find everything on our site related to diabetes here: nutritionfacts.org/topics/diabetes/ I hope that helps: -Christine Kestner, MS, CNS, LDN, NutritionFacts.org Health Support Volunteer
How can the researchers be sure that the results they saw when applied to cells in a petri plate could be reproduced in the human body via the usual delivery method?
Nia LaLa I wasn't trolling. It was a serious question. For the record, I'm a vegan, in case you suspect I'm one of those "where do you get your brotein" trolls.
They can't.
Good point John. Hardly a conclusive study but good info nevertheless.
What about cooking VS sprouting in terms of anti-nutrients? Anyone?
+Levi Jaeger sprouting would produce a lower glycemic product than cooking. reason enough to eat them sprouted if you ask me.
How long to boil bean for max benifit? Pressure cooked? Do we have to drink the boiled juice too?
Drinking the boiled juice will help more.
so happy I subscribed
What about BPA in canned foods, I read it's more of a problem in acidic foods like tomatoes.
I never seem to cook properly my legumes and got stomach discomfort after eating it, so canned are far more convinient for me.
What if one sprouts beans then cooking them?
Tastes shit
me too
how many legumes are too many or excessive? i don't understand
Oh, oh, and I almost forgot. Ahh, I'm also gonna need you to go ahead and come in on Sunday, too.
other than actual alfa alfa sprouts i never knew ppl were sprouting beans!! almost a yuck feeling for me granted i havent tried it but as an indian legumes is the foundation of our meals. we just soak them overnight n it takes 5 minutes to cook in a pressure cooker or 20 in a pot with water so i wont even bother sprouting!
_Beans to you !_ 😜👌
👍👍
Is it safe to eat uncooked sprouted lentils . Saw something recently that said no , it wasn't safe
Back in the 60's babies were fed 'pinto bean juice' in there baby bottles. Also all other juices from the adults meal would work just fine.
Sprouted lentils can be eaten raw. If sprouted chickpeas and other legumes truly need to be cooked, will the "no minutes at full pressure" trick work for them or do they require minutes also?
Shouldn't beans be soaked overnight to remove phytic acid?
Yes indeed this doc is a bit confused about phytic acid when our bodies show different results.
Nobody knows everything!
You should look at his other videos on phytic acid. Research does not seem to indicate that phytic acid is bad for health, but it has been repeated so often that people believe it is bad for them.
Per ayurveda, there is "life" in the sprouts and you are supposed to eat "living" things vs dead. So per ayurveda canned (aka dead) food is not preferred over "live" food such as sprouts.
The answer is to eat sprouts once a week. And rest of the time, NON-CANNED beans.
why only once per week?
This is great thank you.
So now what we all want to know, what is the affect of cooking the bean sprouts?
Would steaming beans not be healthier than boiling? You figure some nutrients would be leached into the boiling water
Bpa alert at the end
Beans! Toot toot :)
Is there any fiber lost in cooking sprouted lentils?
Cooking rarely changes fiber, it's mechanical processes that decrease fiber. Cooking affects biological and chemical activity, sometime for better, sometimes for worse, and sometimes no change.
what about cooked starch causing cirrhosis?
Asia? South America?
acrylamides i know of.
Sounds like bro-science. Burn them yes, simply cooking them though, i'm not so sure. Please cite your sources.
If yo;u mean acrylamides, youdon't get them by boiling.
So I wonder how much better your beans will be if you soak them and then sprout them.
...until now!
Here's my experience with canned foods. I thought I was dying and on my way out. The metals were affecting my brain, my ability to sleep and get into my REM cycle, and my body's immune system. My doctor diagnosed me with Epstein-Barr Virus, Fibromyalgia, and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. He was a great doctor and voted the best doctor in the two largest counties in the US. One visit, I asked the doctor what the strange taste was in my mouth. He said, "Is it a metallic taste?" BINGO.
I stopped all canned foods and in one week knew I was getting better. Just to make sure it wasn't a coincidence, I started eating canned foods again and all my symptoms started coming back in just a few days.
You won't find any canned foods in my house now except tomato juice in case I get sprayed by a skunk. I read that it takes the average person 10 years to get over Epstein-Barr virus, Fibromyalgia, and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. The article went on to state that 1/3 get over it in 2 years, 1/3 in 10 years, and 1/3 NEVER get over these diseases. I got over all of them in just a few weeks by eliminating the cause of all of these diseases...the metals in canned foods.
Wow, this is surprising. Most cans (all cans??) are lined with plastic liner these days. Many linings no longer contain BPA, but they have other horrible endocrine disrupting chemistry in their linings.
IF your cans were from the 1960's I would find this story more compelling.
Please tell me more how the metals got into your food.
@@eugeniebreida1583 I was thinking the same thing and even if it did get in there its shouldn't be in massive amounts im curious how much canned food they where really eating i would imagine astronomical amounts in which case the salt would get you first lol
Canned beans make me break out! Any thoughts on that?
***** Thank you!
vanwells Maybe a chemical called BPA included in the resinous liner of the can. It's also found in some plastic containers. Maybe you should limit yourself to cook you own beans. Make a big pot and it will keep very good in fridge for a week or more.
Freeze what you won't be able to eat in a week. Freezing works great!
Sprouting is healthier for a number of reasons. One because enzymes that are important for nutrient delivery, absorption and cell communication are destroyed in the cooking process and another good reason is that when they sprout they are ready to be grown into a plant or tree so have everything available and open, more than non-sprouted IMO.
Regardless of what mans-science says, natural wisdom of living one with nature herself is the way to true intelligence. We live in a twisted society where we cook most of our foods and bombarded by 99% cooking tv shows and rarely a raw living food show where we are taught truth about longevity and raw "living: foods as when we need to eat more raw than cooked due to enzymes, biophotons and some other factors that modern science ignores also assist in cell regeneration and repair. Annette Larkins is a great example of what raw living foods, enzymes and biophotons will do and how they keep you young and vibrant even at 75. She grows her own food and sprouts and eats what she grows and makes herself.
Not only cooking but stomach acids will destroy plant enzymes. The enzymes we need are in and made by our body. Why are people thinking our bodies are so inept?
When beans are soaked for 6 to 8 hours they only need +or- 8 minutes cooking in a pressure cooker.
Nia LaLa The problem I've noticed with pressure cookers is that many seem to be made of aluminum. How safe are the metals in cooking? I prefer using Corningware slow cookers and cook them all night.
You can get stainless steel or ceramic coated ones. Pressure cookers preserve the most nutrients out of any cooking method, the longer the cooking the more nutrients are lost.
Kidney beans still need the longer cooking times (45 minutes on the stove top, or 20 minutes in the pressure cooker) Not because they don't get soft enough, but because they have toxins in them that can only be destroyed by high heat for longer periods.
Love it!
Cheap nutrient dense food have them everyday.
That's surprising. Brian Clements will have something to say about this no doubt ;-)
Shame the powers that be don't put a serious focus on learning from Hippocrates and other such places.
If you don’t really like beans you need to stop eating them from a can. You’re missing out
Its like Thai food
I fucking love your videos.
BEANS!
is it safe to eat beans raw soaked in water for 2 weeks
Sounds like they'd ferment by that point, not likely a good idea. Some beans, particularly kidney beans, have enzymes in them that are harmful unless destroyed by cooking and should not be eaten raw, even soaked. Cooked, they're harmless.
Thumbs up if you also thought the thumbnail was a big bowl of cannabis.
Try lupini beans. It takes about four day to make them from dry to eatable.
You were so far ahead of the curve! Lupini beans have really become popular globally within the last couple of years.
Always buy organic BPA free canned beans or just get dry beans and use a slow cooker to cook them after soaking. Easy.
Doc don't eat those canned beans 😋
BPA remember?
Dr Greger= X*(until now + put it to the test+so that you don't have to)
You don’t know what else is in those canned beans, that’s not mentioned on the label. Don’t trust processed foods.
in a petri disc.. a human body is different though.
At 1:18 he says "bean extract" now that can mean alot of things to begin with. Did they extract all the nutrition? and if the did, was nutrition intact? It is the whole food that count not if you only extract some... you get my point. :D
Well for my self I eat mostly soaked and sprouted or fermented beans like natto(japanese) or doenjang(korean).
They didn't test fermented beans though...
I'm the 1000th like! 😄😆
He is advertising canned beans
lol
But what about digestibelity of sprouts?they are easier on the stomach and more nutrients are available.
Try eating 6 red kidney beans uncooked and see what happens?
The problem with sprouting is that if they have harmful bacteria you can do a number on yourself.
and the problem with cooking is that is destroys all enzymes needed for optimal absorption of the nutrients and proper cell communication within the body,. Eat probiotics, they will take care of the bad stuff which is highly unlikely anyway if you buy from a clean source and wash well with pure water as you sprout.
No u😢 by
very 1-dimensional.comparison and conclusion. what about the much much higher vitamin-, mineral- and chlorophyll content in sprouted beans? I guess they have positive effects.
Why would you want chlorophyll in your food? As for minerals, sprouted seeds don't contain any more minerals than the dormant seeds they come from.
Zephyr López Cervilla uh, if you're eating a diet high in vegetables, esp. leafy green vegetables, you're actually consuming lots of chlorophyll. and yes, it is good for you.
iwasborntobefly: _"you're actually consuming lots of chlorophyll. and yes, it is good for you."_
- No, it isn't. Green vegetables contain several other pigments and many other compounds in addition to chlorophyll. Chlorophyll has no known health effects in humans. You may argue that it contains magnesium, but the amount of magnesium associated to chlorophyll is negligible compared to the total amount of this ion present in plant cells.
*****, I challenge you to find in MEDLINE a scientific paper claiming to have demonstrated beneficial health effects in humans due to chlorophyll consumption, wise guy.
*****, Google search results are full of crap. Clearly, any moron can make the most foolish claims about anything.
You know someone else willing to remain ignorant of "well established facts" about the effects of chlorophyll on human health? Dr. Michael Greger M.D. and his NutritionFacts.org. I challenge you to find any explicit mention of those alleged beneficial effects of chlorophyll in his videos. Because it's all pseudoscientific quackery used to sell grass juice at premium prices.
What about cooking (boiling) the sprouting beans? Will that be even healthier? I really wish the scientist(s) who did the study can be more inclusive...
I sprout chick peas and then boil them to remove the enzymes. More enzymes come out this way and they come out much faster too so cooking only takes about 5 minutes from the boil.
The 100C heat is likely denaturing most of those enzymes.
ur stomach acid denatures the enzymes anyways
John Smith
Which is pretty much what terry tibbs said when they wrote "boil them to remove the enzymes".
SomeDorkStoleMyName I understood his comment to mean that he wanted more enzymes for consumption. But this is CZcams, so I'm no longer surprised.
I understood it to mean the opposite. Maybe terry tibbs will come back and explain further. I also sprout beans before cooking, just a tiny bit, but that is to help remove those components that cause gas.
what about phytic acid...
great video, you'll definitely get better if you practice your speech a bit more.
Running out of beens is considered an emergency to me
I sprout them and then cook them.
No farts; until......now...
CANNED BEANS??? doc! what.s going on here!!!
This wasn't a very good informative video
