I think you've got your answer above - the irradiation is the usual cause. Other factors like too much exposure to light in those stores and also the time it took from packing the beans till it reaches our homes - god knows how long it's been sitting on which warehouse and the shelves at the markets. I followed one of the beans-discussion in a group I used to hang out and the above is what I learned from it.. Also a suggestion from the same discussion - Ethnic beans or any other ethnic spices? Then buy from an ethnic market where it moves very fast. :) Indira, They are most probably genetically modified - to increase production and reduce the pests.. but here, unlike monsanto, that is not what is causing the un-sprouting!

After three days, they sprouted a little. By the time,they were smelling so horrible, I had to throw them in garbage. I had same problem with my wal mart bought black eyed peas.

The beans I buy from the bulk bins in health-food stores seem to do fine though..i guess they're spared the third degree....

You are tempting me Laxmi. I love alasanda vadalu very much. Nina: Thanks for posting this informative link about sprouts here. Black-eyed beans are one of the beans we sprout regularly here and at Nandyala. They are safe to consume and also taste better than the non-sprouted plain beans. AN: That explains the lack of life. Thanks. I am aware that they irradiate meat and some vegetables. Poor beans! Madhuli: just once a week. about two cups of beans, that's all. Trying to gain some Vit B.:) Hi Sushama: Like ER Murthy mentioned, proper water drainage and also well ventilated area are essential for healthy sprouting process.

I think, what 'Nina' said is correct, the pulses are irradiated. When we tried with Moongdal,(when we were visiting our daughter in CA,)we had the same problem. For the other comment on 'sticking and smelling', the reason probably is that after soaking, the water is not drained fully. Try putting the soaked pulses in a cloth to keep them dry. ERM, Vizag. Hi,
