I often sprout my grains before grinding. You do have to dehydrate them after

sprouting-just spread into single layers on a tray, dehydrate until dry, then

grind as usual. I do this with rice, buckwheat, millet, quinoa, flax, etc.

Works just fine.

Hi TJ,Please no worries about how much you know or don't know. We were all new

to this once and I know I continue to learn all of the time.There are folks on

the list who sprout wheatberries and use them as you do, so hopefully they will

see your post and respond.I will just say that in the raw food community, people

often sprout seeds and grains and then dehydrate them for later use. Rene Oswald

is a raw food educator who has talked alot about this.Take a look at

this:http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=rene+oswald & aq=fI think the

first video on the list is about sprouting and dehydrating seeds and

grains.Please feel free to post more questions--I sprout wheatberries all of the

time but haven't ventured into making bread with them yet, so perhaps I will

have questions for you :)I did make essene bread recently, but dehydrated too

long and now have essene crackers :)marion

living creature. By every act that glorifies or even tolerates such moronic

delight in killing we set back the progress of humanity.

Hi All,

I know NOTHING about sprouts so forgive me for being out of the loop. I have

wheatberries that I grind myself to make bread. I heard recently that they

should be sprouted before using to remove some component that's not too friendly

to the body.

My question is can I sprout the wheatberries and then dry them again so I can

still use them to make flour or does that defeat the purpose? My wheat grinder

only works with dry goods.

Thanks for any assistance offered,

TJ
