Nice video! I have some chick peas soaking now...will see how it turns out!

@768Kayshan Nice!!!!! They taste delicious..remember it does not matter whatever instroctions say how many days to sprout them..if they are ready after 1 day put them in the fridge..specially if the tails getting brown or so... love!My book says for lentils 1-5 days sprouting and they sprout almost in the water because of temperature in my kitchen... :)

that's way too much protein in one serving. let alone one meal. too much protein in the body causes acidity and what the body does to balance out this acidic-effect is that it leaches out calcium from the body (teeth, bones, etc) . The WHO foundation recommends know more than 10% of your calories from protein.

Thanks for the info and video! I want to start sprouting as soon as I buy a water filter, can't wait. Your sprouts looked so yummy! Can flax seeds be sprouted also? Or is grounded flax better? Peace and blessings to you!

[elfe1982]

@MarcSoFresh Dear Marc :) I suggest grounding flax rather then sprouting, because to be honest flax can almost not be broken down in the body.. if consumed just whole.. it releases its propperties when its grounded.. and it contains prussic acid or also called hydrogen cyanide which is devistating.. this is the kind of substance you also get from smoking :O so you want to go to chia or hemp..the best is to eat flax oil- because they can almost remove prussic acid when extracting the oil..

Good video!! I love cooked quinoa, but would like to try it raw, how does it taste raw? Does it taste like ? Is it easier to digest cooked or raw? Id like to saok wild rice, and eat it raw. Is raw rice safe to eat? Thanks:)

[elfe1982]

@xsliceofheavenx Thank you Dear :)

It's not unhealthy, but the rice will swell in your stomach. If you eat a large amount, you could certainly have discomfort. In extreme cases, your stomach could even burst. This has actually happened to people, mostly children. So don't eat too much of it..hehe

Here is more advice and input

If you soak the rice in warm water for a few hours, it will absorb the water and will not expand in the stomach.

Don't eat too much ra wrice .too much is unhealthy..

[elfe1982]

@xsliceofheavenx Quinoa is absolutly safe to eat- Its a grass- not grain..BUT I heard from a food scientist who did her doctorate on quinoa that eating quinoa raw actually has no additional benefits.In fact that the body absorbs the protein of quinoa better when it’s cooked.The enzymes (protein as well) that are deactivated with heat are more easily digested when cooked.

So here again try to experiment..hehe and allow yourself some cooked.. your body needs it otherwise you wouldnt crave it!

Thank you for sharing! I enjoyed your video. You seem so nice and had some good information. I just bought some 45 pounds of sprouts and I never have done sprouting before. I made the purchase for the purpose of having an emergency food supply and sprouting seem like a great idea. God Bless - Thanks :)

[tim4962]

@tim4962 oops - I mean 45 pounds of seeds - :)

Hab erst vor 5 Monaten meine Ernährung auf naja 95 % Rohkost umgestellt. Werd gleich mal morgen im Bioladen gucken ob ich Quinoa bekomme. Das entspricht dem Inkareis? Sind da nicht in der Schale relativ viele Saponine enthalten? Oder wäscht sich die Schale weg? Ich habe seit 3 Jahren ein Umkehrosmoseanalge, das sicher optimal für die Sprossen. Für einen Rohkosteinsteiger wie mich superinteressantes Video!

[elfe1982]

@MrScrewy Hallo :) Ja aber wenn man das Quinoa gut waescht werden schon dabei ein Teil der Saponine entfernt. Und dann beim Spiren wird noch mal ein ganz grosser Anteil entfehrnt -so das man am Ende das Quinoa unbedenklich essen kann. Im Bioladen hab ich im Urlaub auch Quinoa gefunden.

Danke fuer das Kommentar! Ich bin gerne behilflich!

@marymadrox Hi Mary :)

1. yes any quinoa works just fine to sprout and 2.- you need a dry towel for it.. try not to leave the seeds too wet. Rinse them 2x daily but rinse them good. I the quinoa or any seed, nuts or beans lie too wet they mould too easy ;)

Let me know how your getting on.
