Check out Sprouting. Perhaps that will answer your question.

thank you so much. your follow-up has been a great help.

hi,

sorry for interrupting again, but i wish to know what is the average time for fava beans to soak well for sprouting? and how long does it take -on the longest period- to show sprouting?

i wish also to have this information about; Chickpea, Black-eyed pea, buck wheat, and White kidney beans (i know that it's toxic if uncooked but still i wish to have the information).

thanks

Haven't tried the faba, but all the others (mostly lentils) sprout on day two.
I always have a batch going to go with the salads. Leftovers go into the dog bowl. They love it.

actually this is day three on my fava calender, and the shy sprouts begin to appear. i took 20 seeds which were amongst the leftover of one kilogram purification, and i soaked them in a jar for a little over 18 hours.

there is a number of them which just rot, and some didn't show any signs yet but there is a number that has sprouted. i rinse and drian every eight hours, going to make it every six, hopefuly they like it?!

i'm intrested to know how much of your sprouting is leftover? something like half? third? quarter? tenth? 5%?

i've already bought some chickpeas, black-eyed peas, white kidney beans so as to widen my experience, and hope to get help.

thanks.

I don't know about the rest, but the black-eyed peas sprout fully in a few days - I'd say around 5 days tops. The first signs of growth should show up in under 48 hours.

The key in my experience is to fully rinse, soak, and drain them at least twice a day.
