Rye berry seeds

Date: January 23, 2008 04:22AM A friend of mine brought me some rye berry seeds that I was planning to use to make dehydrated crackers. Well, I found out when I eat them, I become acidy. It takes almost a week to return to my normal alkaline self. I hate to see the seeds go to waste. So I was wondering about growing the seeds and eating the greens in salads. Has anyone done this? How big do I let it get before I can eat it? Any input, suggestions, advice welcome.
Thanks, Mona Re: Rye berry seeds

Date: January 23, 2008 03:29PM Thanks David. I'll try that. Can you eat the grass it grows into? I heard eating grass isn't good for us. I suppose the sprouts would be OK if they don't get that big. Right?

rye berries are also an excellent way to impart nutrients back into the soil at the end of a gardening season. sow the seeds and let the grass grow about a foot high or less, then turn it under so it rots back into the earth. this can help keep weeds down as well. Re: Rye berry seeds

Date: January 24, 2008 12:36PM Thanks for the great tip, Coco! I wish I had a juicer for it, but I don't. I was also wondering about using it as a grass in my garden. I like the idea of using it to help the soil. Thanks, again.
