 Boiling Peanut Seed Sprouts
by: Bret

What an interesting question.
While we have never heard of boiling peanut sprouts there is no reason you can't do this.

Peanut sprouts are very nutritious and sometimes eaten raw, like bean sprouts. They contain vitamins A, B, C and E, calcium, iron, magnesium, niacin, phosphorus, potassium, amino acids and 20% to 25% protein.

Peanut sprouts taste best when they are 3 to 5 days old (the root tip is just beginning to show). You should rinse your sprouts thoroughly before eating them raw or boiling them. You can eat sprouts that are more than 5 days old but they may not taste as good as younger sprouts. Sample a germinating sprout each day to decide how old you prefer them.

Remember peanut sprouts are alive so they must be refrigerated after sprouting. Dry the sprouts carefully to remove all surface moisture before refrigerating them. They should be dry to the touch. Their refrigerated shelf life in a proper container is about 2-4 weeks at best. Live sprouts have no enzyme inhibitors so they must be refrigerated or they will spoil rapidly.

 Yes an interesting question indeed!

This question leads me to another.

Could the sprouted peanuts be malted? Has anyone tried this? Peanut beer might be an interesting experiment!
