Re: what do you grind sprouted wheat berries with?

[Guest guest]

I've used, with great success, a Black and Decker food processor.

Unfortunately, from what I've read online, Black & Decker was sold back in

1998 (to Applica Incorporated?), and the new ones are not that great. Which

is a shame, because after 24 years, mine finally croaked, while trying to

make nut-butter. It was a really good machine.

Hi,

You might want to consider trying a bullet blender. (Not necessarily this

brand, because I've read it has bad reviews.)

The Champion Juicer works well with the blank attachment. What will you do with

the mash?

I have the Magic Bullet. I like it. The only thing wrong with it is the

cups are small. ew

Ernest,

How long have you been using the Magic Bullet? Has it ever given you

problems? I was so close to buying one until I read a bunch of bad reviews

on Amazon.

Re the small cup: doesn't it also give you a blender and lid?

Can you process foods in the Magic Bullet without liquids added? To my

understanding, blenders need liquid to work (except the super-expensive high

powered ones like a Vitamix).

I'd be really surprised to find someone getting a blender to process

sprouted wheat berries, without adding lots of water to it first. Anybody?

No mine does not have a blender.They have several different systems. I

have the smallest. It was a gift. I've been using it for about two years.

It has never given me a problem.      ew

Thia,

Yes it can. Magic Bullet blenders can grind coffee, nuts, seeds, anything

dry without adding water. But the sprouted wheat berries would be a bit

mushy/wet, and you might have to turn out the blender, open the lid and

scape down the berries and continue several times. At least this is from my

experience when using similar sized blenders.

Take a look at this site, it has a small video demonstration.

Haven't been able to process wheat berry sprouts in my blender w/out adding some

liquid, I've tried to minimize the amount because I want to make bread. (I think

my blender is 500Watts).

I'm waiting another day for my wheat berry sprouts. Since I have the blender,

I'm going to make oatmilk tomorrow, adding that to process the berries, then

I'll add some regular dry oats to the dough to make bread.

How many days do you all sprout wheat berries?

I've noticed if they start growing green grass stems, then the sprouts have an

interesting taste, they are so sweet, and at the same time feel like if I ate

them raw like that, my stomach maybe couldn't really handle it. I used to drink

wheat grass juice, but that does take some getting used to.

keep sprouting,

I think that you have to be very doubtful of any claims made on an

infomercial. If someone is deeply into the raw food diet a Magic

Bullet is going to be burned out in no time. A few tablespoons of

coffee or flax seed or nuts is not going to stress a tiny motor

anything like a pound of sprouted wheatberries. I've gotten myself

burned by a number of infomercial purchases in the past, so I tend to

put more credit on the negative reviews than the positive ones.

You also need to know how the person used the devise compared to how

you use (or will be using it in the future). I think that most raw

foodists use their food production equipment very hard.

I have been working on the ultimate pizza dough recipe. I have pretty much got

it down using homeade sprouted flour, but I would like to use the fresh mash -

less work.

I've used the fresh mash for sourdough/starter. I've planned on making

pizza dough from it, but haven't yet. So far I have used the starter for

flat bread, and for crumpets.

It's been on my " wishlist " for about a year, now... They have one that

comes with an attachment that works with mason jars. :~)

Search the net. You can find the same thing $15 or so cheaper with free

shipping.

Have been very happy with my Tribest. Use it daily. Almonds turn into a thick,

rather heavy, oily flour that sprinkles on everything from cereal to mixing with

pure maple syrup for a great desert snack or crust for various cold desert type

fruit pies. Would probably be a good crust for cheese cake as well, but haven't

tried that.

I thought I would use the Mason jar attachment with the Tribest, but so far it's

been used once, but I seldom make anything that " saves " . I generally make

enough for one meal and save nothing. Adding the adapter to the mason jar so

the Tribest cutter will attach is a minor inconvenience. I use the smallest

container (non mason jar) most of the time.

I mill all my flour with a Nutrimill (another excellent product, IMO), but again

use all the flour without saving any. So, when it's time to thicken soup or

stew, I don't have any flour handy. Rather than pull out the grain mill, I use

the Tribest with a few ounces of wheat berries. Works fine, but NOT a

substitute for a real mill to make bread flour. It would take all day just to

mill the flour, IF that little motor would even stand up to the job.

Only complaint is salsa making. At my skill level all salsa is puree, no chunky

salsa. Tastes great, but personally I like chunky salsa.....but not enough to

get out the cutting board.

I haven't tried anything wet and gummy like sprouted wheat berries, but I

suspect the results would be a bit less than spectacular. I've ground fresh

sprouted wheat berries many times, but it takes a different type of operation

than a highspeed cutting blade - (mills, blenders, etc.). I use an auger style

heavy duty juicer for veg juices. The sprouted grain works fine in that

machine, but it is difficult to clean up.

I did a lot of research before choosing the Tribest concluding the " Pro " model

with the Mason Jar attachment was probably the best buy. Don't regret getting

the attachment as I may use it from time to time, and it doesn't take up much

room, but with current knowledge I would give it less importance on a future

purchase. The Tribest seems to be a quality built item.
