You are right. MOST dried beans are excellent for sprouting. However, also be aware that

KIDNEY BEANS (and other large beans) SHOULD NOT BE SPROUTED - THEY ARE TOXIC!!

.
Actually all beans are toxic, as are most seeds, because they contain enzyme inhibitors for self preservation that shut down your digestive enzymes. A small amout of sprouted beans or seeds are ok, but sprouts in general are not particularly healthy, although washing will help.
