I am on a raw food diet, how do I prepare dried black beans to eat without cooking them?
Do I just need to soak them longer or can I just eat them after soaking them overnight? Do I just sprout them then eat em’?

You can’t eat black beans raw, they are only digestible when cooked. This according to a reliable raw food source (see below)
Large beans: Anasazi, Black, Fava, Kidney, Lima, Navy, Pinto, Soy, etc. Except for soy, these are irrelevant to the sprouter – raw flavor is truly horrible. Also, serious toxicity/allergy/digestibility issues with these raw beans. Except for soy (edible raw if grown long enough), these beans must be cooked to be digestible, hence are not of interest to the raw-fooder.
I saw that raw food diet on Wife Swap….how can you stand raw meat? Yuck!
You will get some serious gas by eating dried beans without cooking them.
Even after soaking for 24 hours, you still need to boil for at least 1 hour.
I’d sprout them.
What is the benefit to eating a raw food diet? I have never heard of this before. Aren’t you afraid of getting sick? I am not trying to be rude or mean, but I just don’t understand.
Yikes! I don’t know about raw DRIED beans….was this recommended?
You can’t eat them raw, they will make you ill.
And to those that are saying "How can you eat raw meat" I would point out that this question has been asked under "Vegetarian and Vegan".
And there are several meats that can be eaten raw, when purchased from a reliable Vendor and properly processed.
Ever heard of Steak Tartar or sushi?
just mash them and add them to taco shells as u would beef add lettuce carrots peppers tomatos and seasoning
Google it to be sure, but I would think you have to sprout them.
I’d vote for sprouting, unless you want to bow to the throne later…
Give Candy the ten points! She just saving you from a good long session of puking!! Uncooked black beans won’t seriously harm (or kill) you like kidney beans but they just aren’t safe raw.
soak them till they sprout then eat them with salt pepper lemon juice and chopped green pepper or red pepper
looks like everybody so far says the same thing im gonna say. raw beans, no good. its ok to munch on a few raw green-beans but thats about the extent of it.
