I'm sure @janton will be along to answer, but my wife cooks up beans from scratch and does soak them for three to five hours, at a minimum, so she can cook them up for dinner. So, I'm agreeing with the idea of the soaking but not necessarily so close to the sprouting state. Still, a lot of planning and understanding of what was going to be needed went into all of this for sure, right down to the cooking of the beans. :)

Soaking is a good start. I wonder how long it takes to cook after soaking? Thanks for the reply
:)@glenalbrethsen.Well, I don't know how long it took for them to cook the beans they had. In my wife's case, it's about an hour, hour and a half, give or take. I think she lets the water get to a decent boil and then turns down the heat so it's a little softer, but still plenty hot and then let's them go. It also depends on what else she's doing, because sometimes she cook them a little longer. Generally when she's doing this it's to go with Mexican food, so we'll eat them whole or she'll mash them and refry them. In that case, she might leave them in a little longer cooking.
I usually pressure cook beans from dry, but they did not have that option.
