Guest guest Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 Yes, homemade. Buckwheat sprouts, then blend them with whatever (spices, salt etc.) flatten them onto sheets and dehydrate them. Pretty simple once you get the hang of it. As to the red meat thing, it's very personal. I think of the ayurvedic classifications as a start. Then test it out and see if it holds for you. I think it's more important to build an internal database of your own reactions to food so that one can start eating more consciously. As an example, this morning I woke up and had only a cup of coffee. (Yes, one of my weaknesses) I still felt tired and decided to try a teaspoon of coconut oil by itself, just to gauge my reaction. It got a little increase in energy, smooth and gentle. this is onely one test, however, and I wouldn't draw any conclusions from it until I try it several more times. rich Re: sprouted crackers >Sometimes I use the coconut oil on sprouted crackers with fennel, >cardamom and a little maple syrup, all cooling.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 How far along the sprouting process do you sprout? Do you blend until smooth? Do you dehydrate at room temperature or use heat? Thank you - I love this suggestion. Laureen >Yes, homemade.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 Depends on the sprout. Buckwheat is pretty forgiving. I usually try to do it at less than half an inch. Wheat and wheat type sprouts (kamut spelt) you really have to keep them short, no more than a half inch, sometimes a quarter. Longer than that they get sickeningly sweet. And I do mean sickeningly. Taste them until you find the right spot. I have a green star juicer and I use that on homogonizing. It mashes them into a paste like substance. In a blender you have to add water or liquid so it's a little different. I have a dehhydrator. The should be dehydrated below 120 degrees to maintain the phytonutrients. Also try small batches at first with the seasonings etc. I found I have to put in a little sweetener but the amounts must be adjusted to personal taste. rich Re: sprouted crackers > > > >Sometimes I use the coconut oil on sprouted crackers with fennel, > >cardamom and a little maple syrup, all cooling.

Thanks. I've bought crackers like that but never attempted making them. >As an example, this morning I woke up and had only a cup of coffee. >(Yes, one of my weaknesses) I still felt tired and decided to try a >teaspoon of coconut oil by itself, just to gauge my reaction.

Sounds like a good policy, Rich. cheers, Jeanmarie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
