Guest guest Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 ----- Original Message ----- From: tylertaylin ===>We also used soaked flour bread for ours, soaking for 24 hours, works well. She doesn't need it anymore but still likes it. We found that soaking grains at least overnight and with raw apple cidar vinegar or young coconut kefir really broke them down for predigestion. Prior to doing this my son couldn't digest soaked quinoa. I'd find whole pieces of kale and quinoa in the potty. With many months of cultured foods, food combining, and soaking well with RACV or YCK he finally could! (just a splash to your soak will do)Now I think he could digest a nail.

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 , I'm sorry I have so many questions, but I've got one more. Do you throw out the water you soaked the grains in?Thanks, sprouting grains We found that soaking grains at least overnight and with raw apple cidar vinegar or young coconut kefir really broke them down for predigestion.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 You just put enough water and vinegar in to take up the flour. The recipe we use calls for 2 cups of warm water, 2 TBSP of cider vinegar and 4 cups of whole wheat flour. You won't have any water to throw out. Google "soaked whole wheat bread" and you should be able to find this recipe online. It's absolutely delicious. sprouting grains We found that soaking grains at least overnight and with raw apple cidar vinegar or young coconut kefir really broke them down for predigestion.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 , My guys are doing so much better since incorporating more BED type principles to their diet. Now, I am ready to try the BED grains starting with quinoa. Can you tell me exactly how to sprout quinoa? what do I soak it in, for how long, what kind of container, etc? How is best to serve it the first time?

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Soaking flour: I don't throw out the water. Soaking grains: DO throw out the water. By soaking grains you are removing oxalates and other plant phytates. You want those rinsed out. I soak for up to four days, especially beans. wrote: > > > You just put enough water and vinegar in to take up the flour.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 My apologies, I was not referring to soaking whole wheat flour to increase its digestibility. I was referring to " flour " as a general concept. We are GFCFSFCF and nut free. Everything else, we try to soak to increase digestibility. The grains we use in our home are: Amaranth, Teff, Quinoa, Millet, Tapioca, and Rice. I also occasionally use sorghum. Vivian Westfall wrote: > > > Soaking flour: I don't throw out the water.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Can you tell me what kind of container you use, what liquid do you soak the grains in, and do you sprout them?
