Are dried beans or legumes considered a raw food that would be able to germinate and/or sprout?

I am wondering this because I am trying to adopt a “raw food” lifestyle and can’t seem to figure out where to get raw beans… When I go into health food stores, I never see a label saying that the majority of them are raw like most raw foods are labeled, yet I have seen one bean labeled “raw” only ONCE! I cannot believe that the majority of these stores would only carry ONE type of raw bean (non-heated or roasted). I am assuming they are all just dried… Please help!!!

    As long as you avoid the roasted kind of beans, or the ones that are salted, with flavorings, etc. most of the other beans should be raw. I have germinated wheat berries into a good health drink. Buy small amounts, put them between damp paper towels in a dark, warm place and keep the towels damp (not soaking wet) and you should get sprouts in a day or so.
