Guest guest Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 Hello folks!I'm very new to this business of sprouting and dehydrating... in fact my dehydrator should arrive today and I have yet to actually sprout anything yet! I'm coming to this through Robyn Openshaw's (GreenSmoothieGirl) 12 Steps to Whole Foods. So far, I'm staring my day with Sole, having green smoothies daily, and making my own yogurt and kefir. My plans for sprouting are to be able to make live, raw snack foods(nuts and seeds, hummus, etc) as well as grow fresh sprouts and wheat/oat grass to add to my smoothies. My first question is about raw, sprout-able almonds... I live in East Texas and we don't have any almond growers locally. I'll probably eventually want to buy in bulk, but as I'm just starting out, it doesn't seem prudent to try that just yet. I've browsed online a bit, and discovered that almonds can be labeled " raw " but still be pasteurized! Money is an issue as well, so I was hoping someone could point me to a good, affordable source of truly raw almonds. Preferably that I can purchase in 1-5lb amounts? Also, we have some bug problems in my house... I like the idea of using glass jars with mesh sprouting lids for my first attempts, but I'm concerned that very small bugs would enter the mesh and contaminate my sprouts! Is cloth a better idea for the lids? Also love some advice on how to deal with sprouting in a buggy environment! Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
