Guest guest Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Suz,I am going to try the things you mentioned. I have white and red Quinoa on hand as well as the other things you mentioned.I just started making my own nondairy milks again. I was making a terrible mess with the conventional way of blender/nut bag, but I just got a Soyabella and it is fantastic. So I think some sprouted grains with homemade milk would be awesome. Thanks for the ideas!marionall fired up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Quinoa sprouts are great as a salad base instead of bulgur, couscous or rice. Google quinoa salad for an abundance of recipes. I freeze excess quinoa sprouts and throw them into my favorite winter soup. Any extra aging veggies or herbs are washed and frozen, then, for a quick meal, I cook them in a pot of water, strain the broth and add quinoa sprouts, seaweed and miso. Sometimes I sprinkle it lightly with beluga lentil sprouts and a condiment of Brazil nuts ground with fresh rosemary and pink salt. YUM-O! Sproutingly, PS The above may seem salty, but I get leg cramps if I neglect my healthy salt intake. ________________________________ To: sproutpeople Sent: Tue, May 3, 2011 2:20:47 PM Subject: Quinoa sprouts OK - I have a big batch. Now what do I do with them? Something easy and fast. ;-) I want thinking just steam them and use them like I normally would - as a substitute for rice. Also - how long do you normally let them get? The tails on mine are pretty long. I think they've been sprouting for 2 1/2 days or so. I'm doing so many things at once now that I'm losing track. tia, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 , I LOVE your Rosemary/Brazil Nut Salt recipe. I also get leg cramps and have been told to increase my salt intake--which, honestly, is a challenge for me. I am not very keen on salt. I am so excited about trying your recipe. I like anything that involves nuts and herbs. thank you for sharing that. marion Dr. Rollings NJ Licensed Psychologist #4686 www.DrnRollings.com Sent from my iPad > Quinoa sprouts are great as a salad base instead of bulgur, couscous or rice. > Google quinoa salad for an abundance of recipes.

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 I usually sprout mine only for a couple of days. You could use some of it to make rejuvelac (instead of using rye, but the same way, check sproutpeople.org for recipe or google) right after the sprouting is done. I also steam them and I make stuffing for bell peppers out of it, or a cold salad with cilantro (or other leafy herbs), garlic, tomatoes, lemon juice and salt and oil. I also dehydrate them and this way they keep for a long time in a mason jar, then I'll just sprinkle them on salads or add to soups. > > OK - I have a big batch. Now what do I do with them?

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 " soap under the sheet " ??? Did I miss something here? Peggy ________________________________ To: sproutpeople Sent: Wed, May 4, 2011 7:27:15 AM Subject: Re: Quinoa sprouts  Don't worry. I did, and I'm fine. Been doing this on and off for YEARS. I don't do it every night. I take magnesium every day for my heart. And so far I'm still alive and kicking. The soap under the sheet actually works for me, but when I have a stressful day (and believe me, lately, YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT I HAD TO ENDURE', that's when a nice 15 minute soak does wonders. I don't use a lot, maybe a tablespoon full. And my sugar is fine, and my feet are clean. Diabetics have a lot to worry about. Thankfully, because I control what I eat and I monitor myself, I'm doing fine. I just hope it stays that way.

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 Ahh...I see what the soap under the sheet is all about. Thanks for this idea - one I had NEVER heard of, but will give it a try for sure. Thanks. ________________________________ To: sproutpeople Sent: Wed, May 4, 2011 7:28:13 AM Subject: Re: Quinoa sprouts  Good. Let me know if it helps. Every month, at the PN Support Group meeting in NYC we always talk about " who has the soap under the sheet " .
