More Sprouts

 

so continuing from the last post about sprouts…

they just keep on growing…. and growing… and you just got to keep on wetting it (we used a spray bottle filled with pure water).  you’ll notice some clumps are missing, that’s because we like to just rip off a chunk of grass and chew like cows (except we spit our the fiber)

so i guess eventually you can juice it, but we never got that far. Nay, we ate all that we could and then it turned yellow, and it just kind of died. right in the kitchen. and now it is sitting outside our front porch being used as a kitty litter by the neighbor’s cat (at least that is what we account as the stink)

BUT……. before you stop reading for reals, here are some pictures of some sprouted spelt tortillas i made (way before the spelt became so grassy)

I blended up the spleties in the Vita-Mix

Kneaded them with some flour, salt and oil. Rolled them out and…

… popped them on the griddle. yum?

Conclusion: the store bough ones are better.

more sprrrrouts!

Okay, i finally uploaded some photos :)
so, fist i soaked the wheat overnight (NOT 24+ hours - it can drown the poor grain!)


Then, i left it in our colander for about 2 days and just kept wetting it and lettin is sprout away.( you can see in the pic that the wheat germ is starting to sprout--they're the roots)




And that is about all for todays post!!

Project numero uno!

Objective: to Sprout wheat/spelt or whatever i end up using, to make wheatgrass juice, then, dry the trimmed wheat and make sprouted wheat tortillas!!

though my previous attempts at sprouting have gone sour (literally) i am prepared to face this challenge, even if it goes moldy. i will go step by step through this project, and let anyone out there know how and what happens to it. i have never made anything with sprouted wheat before, so if this turns out, i can add it to my cooking resume :)

P.S - the kefir made me throw up. in the early morning after eating a delicious peach kefir smoothie. it is important,
i realized,
to sterilize everything!
