Sprouting your azuki beans will further enhance their digestibility and make the nutrients more bioavailable. After straining the beans, leave them in a shallow bowl or dish on a countertop. Keep them damp with one or two tablespoons of water. Let the beans sit for three to four days; rinse well, drain, and store in a container for up to seven days. Rinse the sprouts and place them in a fresh bowl daily to avoid bacteria or mold growth.
