Guest guest Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 Hi... people have different methods for sprouting or germinating rice and grains .... I have an article for my method at my website... it is specific to short grain brown rice... http://www.bacteriapimp.com/9.html Let me know if it is useful for you.. all the best From: Cody <lecody2001@...> Subject: Lots of Questions Date: Sunday, February 15, 2009, 8:11 AM I have a problem with grains.. I may even be celiac, but regardless, I feel awful when I eat grains, with the exception of rice.. So does sprouting do away with the stuff that causes people to be ill from eating grains? Can organic rice be sprouted? Do sprouted beans need to be cooked, cause frankly they taste awful raw? Are mung beans the ones that sprout 3 to 5 inches long? Is that Sproutman sprouting wheel worth the six bucks? Is alfalfa a grass or a vegetable? Enough for now... Thanks C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a harder time eating sprouted grains than I did with cooked grains. I pretty much just avoid them all together at the moment.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 Have you tried some other grains that like rice have no gluten? Buckwheat is a good choice and very easy to sprout. Other gluten-free choices would be; quinoa, millet, amaranth, chia, flax, and I'm sure other's on this list can supply more suggestions. If it is celiac, eating gluten-free grain would be a good test to find out what you need to avoid. Lee On Feb 15, 2009, at 8:11 AM, Cody wrote: > I have a problem with grains..

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 Sparrow: Thanks... I will just keep aways from grains... safer I think, besides Lee: I am trying to eat a paleo diet.. no beans or grains... Rice is considered iffy by some adherents to the diet... but we have to take modern knowledge into account... I am going to try to germinate some rice.. using the rice cooker method. Although I will probably end up buying it later when I run out of rice. Lets see...questions left Is alfalfa veggie or grass?

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 HI... If kefir is correctly fermented it would be lactaid free but there are other ways to get these kinda benefits... ie, kombucha, and now EM micro-organisms that can be used as new probiotic suppliements, they are not freeze dried and can almost be as effective as kefir There are now probiotic soaps and probiotic cleaning sprays...

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 Hi , yes organic rice can be sprouted, if its brown. White rice has been processed and is really dead. Yes cook the beans just as you would if they weren't sprouted. Mung beans are the ones you see if the produce dept. called bean sprouts. Use mainly in Asian cooking. The Sproutman wheel is not worth six bucks. I got one free with my Freshlife and have never really had any use for it. Alfalfa is a legume. A member of the pea/bean family. I can't address what makes people ill. I am blessed. I can eat most anything. Keep asking questions. ew Lots of Questions Date: Sun, 15 Feb 2009 05:11:23 -0800 (PST) I have a problem with grains..

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Yeah, me too! I sprouted some adzuki beans last month--for a long time, because I wanted SPROUTS, not beans--and I saw why EW's wife won't eat the roots. Ewww, they look so devilish... Just had to break them all off; it was a lot of work for little benefit. So I won't be doing that again. When I think " sprouts " I am thinking green veggies. If I want beans, I'll cook beans. Still, I hate to just cook up those adzuki beans I paid good money for. I guess I'm going to have a bean garden this year... Same with the peas, didn't like them sprouted. Lentils, too. I'm glad you all like these things, wish I did. I do like the radish and the alfalfa sprouts, though. I wonder if I can get an Easy Sprouter in Canada?

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Sorry, I didn't make myself clear. Shipping anything into Canada from the States is enormously expensive--and sometimes the customs people get into the act as well--so I try not to order outside of my country.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 The peas will do greens! Yummy too. I cut the pea itself off, along with the roots, after the shoots get about four inches or so. I don't like the peas themselves. :~) Thia On Mon, Mar 16, 2009 at 10:57 PM, Connie Lacelle < groups@...> wrote: > Yeah, me too!

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 That's what I was hoping for...but they didn't grow very fast and I eventually concluded that the sprouts weren't going to get much longer and would actually spoil, so I cooked them in a stew. I must be thinking more in terms of VOLUME than QUALITY, so I'm only happy with sprouts that multiply size-wize. Planting those beans and peas will get me a whole lot more volume, more bang for my buck. And, hey, I needed garden seeds anyway.

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 When you say the roots look " so devilish " that is a completely arbitrary judgement. Millions of people worldwide eat millions of pounds of bean and other sprouts every day (roots and all) and they relish them. As for me, sometimes I have to choose to eat something based on it's health benefit and often actually liking it comes later. Little children would never eat (taste) anything new if their parents gave them a choice. So I guess my suggestion is to grow up and make healthy choices! As to the Easy Sprouter, your Health Food store that sells the Mumm's seeds might be able to order you one from them or you could order it from their Canadian web site since they do list them.

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Hey Connie, Give the roots a chance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sprouted lentils are delicious in a salad!!!! As are Adzuki, I right now am sprouting Black Beans for either Beans and Rice or Meatless Spagetti, I am also sprouting Pintos that will be the main dish for our supper tonight. The first time I fixed sprouted beans for supper my husband jokeingly said " Oh, so we are having worms for supper " . EW, I thought of your wife when he said that. The sprouted beans are delious and I do not have the gastric difficulties that I was having every time I ate beans. Which is good since beans can be a low cost alternative to meat. As I have always said, " try anything at least once " I have discovered there are things that I did not know that I really liked. I tried Sushi once and now that is that!!!! Your sprouts weither it be Leafy sprouts, Bean sprouts or Sprouted Grains are so much healthier for you. On Mon, Mar 16, 2009 at 9:57 PM, Connie Lacelle < groups@...> wrote: > Yeah, me too!

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Maybe I just need better education, a chart maybe. I can sprout mung beans okay, but I was expecting to have the same result with the adzuki beans. Honestly, I was SCARED to try eating them! So the chart could say something like: long sprouts (i.e. 3-6 inches): mung, y, z short sprouts (i.e. barely visible tail): adzuki, y, z soak (i.e. softened): rice, wheat, z etc. When someone says " I am sprouting xxx " I think long sprouts like mungs and alfalfa but I know it means everything else, too, so I don't know quite what to do!

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Oops, did I offend you? Perhaps that was a bad choice of words--I am very sorry. I know my thinking needs to change. I was raised a meat and potatoes girl, and married a meat and potatoes man. We raised weiners, pasta and cheese kids. Oy vey! It's an uphill battle to try and change everyone's eating habits and now that they're old enough to buy their own and bring home junk to share, it's even worse. I have spurts of healthy food times, then because I'm busy or discouraged I fall off the turnip truck and into the meat wagon. Thanks for the slap! Connie > > > Yeah, me too!
