Soak for 15 hours. Sprout for 3 days before cooking. Use low heat - under 120 degrees - for 4-5 hours or until tender.

Sprouting increases the nutritional value and also activates the enzymes which in turn helps to eliminate the flatulance that usually goes along with beans.

Beans increase in vitamin and nutritional value after sprouting, sometimes with a very high percentage.
