I wanted to make some beans and wanted to neutralize some of the phytate acids as well as other anti-nutrients which would be the best way? I am a single mom and I work so if it allows changing water every 6-8 hours, geesh that is pushing it! lol

I don't know whether it's soaking or sprouting but I change the water every 12 to 24 hours (usually more like 24)

I soak for atleast 24 hours with a splash of ACV added to the soaking water. Then I drain the water and rinse well before cooking.

I do sprout beans sometime too. But I don't like to use them the same way. The sprouts may be for a stir fry or things like sprouted lentils are yummy raw.
