Sprouting wheat for raw "bread"

[fiamma]

I'm currently sprouting wheat to make raw "bread" (essene bread???) and I'm pretty excited about it! Anyone else done this?

[cedarblue]

nooooooooo - it scares me!! - then again i don't have a dehydrator either!

[fiamma]

oh, okey doke It's in the dehydrator as we speak... wil let you know the outcome!!! After the slimefest that was sprouting buckwheat, I have yet to be persuaded of the merits of sprouting grains!

Good luck

How did it turn out Fiamma?

It's actually still in there - it's been 21 hours now. I'm going down to eat lunch so I'm going to try a bit and will let you know!! Oh the suspense....

I have sprouted wheat grain before... it tasted slightly liquoricey. If you stew some diced matted wheat sprouts then you might experience the most chewy food item known to humans [known to me, to be more accurate].

I have planted three rows of wheat at allotment... it is already inches of grass, and should ripen early next 'year'.

Is rejuvelac a made up word?

Is rejuvelac a made up word?

no idea - but it always sounds like a digestive remedy to me!

I like the wikipedia 'gospel' entry for essene bread [ angels of water and air, but especially the part about turning the buns over at noon]:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Essene_Bread

I had understood rejuvelac to be the water in which the grains had been soaking .... but not which had fermented to the point of frothing .

^yes. plus, it kind of IS a digestive aid since it's fermented and got lots of bacteriums and such

Can anybody tell me if the Sunnyvale sprouted bread is raw? I'm gonna eat it anyway because it's delish, but i'd like to know if i can feel smug about it too...
