Guest guest Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 Crave away, I say. Yes, I even BUY pre-sprouted mustard and broccoli sprouts to pop into the blender. Store sprouts gotta get a 20 minute bath in Grapefruit Seed Extract, then, whammo. Sprouts are fresh and have the right nutrients. Easy to digest, good for the body to use. I live on the border of Amish farm country. The local stores have a " local " wheat berry and it really is powerful after 2 days of soaking/sprouting once you make a blender " milk " out of some of those wheat seeds. I did a comparison today. I'm used to just throwing a small handful of wheats into the Vita Mix with other things. But from now on, I'm doing a beverage with the sprouted wheat berries. The farmers' are much better than the store wheat berries. If you can get locals, try a comparison. I also use the GSE (grapefruit seed extract) on these. Bon appetit, mes amis. Jerry in PA ps -- Kim, we are just are prone to a little light banter, I think mostly is what you have detected. I wish I were sprouting " whats " however, I do, heh, heh . . .

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 I'm a new member as well. I'm interested in reading replies to this question. In the meantime, this is how I've been choosing which seeds are safe to sprout. If they are offered for sale on a reliable sprouting web site, I figure it's safe. One thing I've noticed. Once I started eating my very first sprouts (only about eight weeks ago), it was like I started craving them (ANY of them) like crazy. All day long, I'm sitting at work just craving sprouts. Have any of the other new sprouters experienced this? Terri > Good seeds Bad seeds (was Dear Bob...) > Date: Thu, 16 Feb 2006 07:18:11 -0800 (PST) > > > This is good info and I appreciate it!

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 Terri: I have noticed a similar phenomenon RE: wanting sprout to eat now. I have staged my growing so that there are always some that are about ready to eat, juice, etc. Regards, Bob Re: Good seeds Bad seeds (was Dear Bob...) > >I'm a new member as well.

Once I started eating my very first sprouts (only about eight weeks ago), it was like I started craving them (ANY of them) like crazy. All day long, I'm sitting at work just craving sprouts. Have any of the other new sprouters experienced this? Terri I'm a new sprouter and I crave anything that gives me more energy... I have an idea for a cereal.. Lightly toast sprouted wheat berries at 200 degrees for 10 minutes. Place in a container. Pour into a bowl w/ milk for breakfast. Does anyone think this a good idea?.. Should I keep them refrigerated or would they stay good on the shelf? So many questions! Like a puppy let loose onto a meadow in April... with lots of other little puppies too... chasing eachother and wagging their tails... that happy-frantic look in their eye. excitement. ~ --------------------------------- Autos.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 You response cracked me up-oops-I just read the previous 'insane' posts. Maybe I should say, gave me a chuckle. Thanks.
