I don't cook them very long at all. And I put the seasonings right in
the soaking water. I read somewhere that the seeds actually start to
germinate; not only do they convert complex sugars to simple ones but
the vitamin B content goes up eightfold. I don't know if that's true or
not but it sounds plausible.
