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!!!
