Do you peel these? Some people complained of having to peel each bean, but others sounded as if they consumed them as is.

I am consuming them as is, no need to peel, no need to roast. I am actually starting to get to love them! At first they seemed a bit odd, but I now find myself grabbing a few as I walk past the bowl.

They do not have to be peeled. But I never did finish the bag. Just couldn't warm up to the flavor. Maybe you'll have better luck.

Not at all, can be sprinkled over a salad or had in hot water as is. No peeling required at all. Happy new year

Yes, I suggest peeling them because at first I didn't and it left my juice with a bitter, soap- like taste.Breville makes you think no peeling is required. That's the other thing I hate about the product.

I think they peel just fine. I run them under cold water after they are done and then peel.

They taste great. But I have never heard of anyone cooking them. You simply peel and eat.

Yes, I'm made it several times with garbanzo beans. To get it really smooth, you've got to let it go for a few minutes.

They look raw to me. I bought them on few occasions and give one package to my son. He is against roasted nuts and strictly paleo, he never complained.

I wouldn't put anything with a rind w/o first peeling or scoping out the fruit. Nor would I put anything with an extremely stringy texture. I haven't tried "all" fruits & veggies.

I haven't tried cooking them but I can't imagine why you couldn't. One issue might be different cooking times if you have a bag of mixed beans.

It's hard to know why without knowing the exact steps you made in making your milk. Did you wash and soak them overnight first? How long did you boil them and how did you grind them? I've never had soybeans taste musty but you never know. You might buy a new batch of soybeans and do it again as an experiment, you'll know if it's the technique or the beans.

The other comment that the bean from Amazon is not as fresh as those from the farm is completely untrue. These beans you buy from Amazon are directly shipped from the farm.

I think that is how they are mod commonly used, since they have no peels, but I just eat them as they are!

I do and is one of the reasons I purchased these. I stack them up with balls of foil in the corners to create layers. I saw Alton Brown do it once and I was sold.

My understanding is that they use low heat to dry the beans, but they don't roast them. They are raw because they haven't been cooked.

Yes they were, BUT.....they tasted AWFUL!!! I ended up throwing away about $100 worth because I just couldn't finish them. I happen to like the taste of protein drinks so the shakes weren't bad if you mixed them with juice. But the bars, muffins, mac and cheese......GROSS!!!!

I can only guess that these people had produce that was too far gone already when they started using the Bluapples, they expected the produce to last forever (nothing can make that happen), or they are inexperienced in how long produce actually lasts without using Bluapples. I continue to be consistently surprised at how long my produce is lasting now that I'm using the Bluapples.

I am not sure. I read some people experience peeling and scratch and have to throw them out. I handwash them after cooking.

Sounds like they are bad to me. You should contact the seller and/or amazon and let them know so that you can get your money back. None of the ones that I received were bitter. I tried to sprout one also, and it did not sprout. That leads me to believe that these are not truly raw. They were delicious though...
