HUMMUS.

Hummus is traditionally made with garbanzo beans. In the Conscious Eating Kitchen, almonds are also used to make hummus. Garbanzos are one of the few raw beans I recommend for sprouting. This is because many of the raw beans unbalance V and cause gas. One reason is that trypsin and other enzyme inhibitors are still partially active in a raw sprouted bean. The longer it is sprouted the more the enzyme inhibitors are inactivated and washed away so the bean is easier to digest. Garbanzo beans need to be sprouted 2-3 days, until their tails are " long (see Soaking and Sprouting). Garbanzos are cool and dry and so help to balance P and K.

Hummus may be served with crackers, on top of sliced tomatoes, with vegetable cuttings, on top of salads, or in sea vegetable wraps and cabbage tacos. Hummus, along with avocado and sprouts, makes a nice filler for bell peppers. For a variation, try adding 4 raw olives to the mixture before blending. You may also try adding 1 tsp of a masala of your choice (see Masala Recipes).

Sweet Hummus

Balances P and K, neutral for V All Seasons 2 cups garbanzo beans, sprouted cup fresh apple juice 3 Tbs raw tahini - tsp cayenne tsp hing 2 cloves garlic or 1 tsp sun-dried garlic Blend and serve.

Remarks: The cayenne, lemon, and garlic help to mitigate the unbalancing effect of garbanzos on Vs. Some Vs are unbalanced by hummus. For these folks, tsp hing keeps the hummus from having an unbalancing effect. The raw tahini brings more heat and oil, which is balancing for V. During the winter more cayenne and garlic may be needed to balance V and K.
