Date: October 02, 2009 01:18AM just soaked some wheatberries for 24 hours then drain the water and let them sit to sprout for 12 hours. soaked some sunflower seeds for 12 hours and drained them. then threw em in a blender with some spices and blended them up as best i could. spread it thin on a plate and set it out to dry in the sun for a day. it is pretty good. next time tho, i'd like to grind it all up better so the bread (wheatberries) aren't as chewy...or maybe soak them for longer.

It sounds yummy. I bet its very dense and filling? Yes,those wheat berries have to be ground to the right consistency or they are chewy. Vinny Re: made my first bread

Date: October 02, 2009 12:58PM Hellokitty,
Wheatberries are just the whole kernel of wheat. That's what is milled down to make flour. You can get a couple different varieties of wheatberries in health foods stores, for sprouting, or for planting for wheatgrass. Cooked food eaters buy them to grind up their own wholemeal flour for making home made bread, as they believe it is more fresh this way. I agree; when I've sprouted wheatberries for bread like iamwhatiam describes, the resulting bread has a much more "alive" wheat flavor than baked wheat bread. The sprouting of the wheatberries changes the nutrition somewhat, but they remain a complex carb. Re: made my first bread

Date: October 02, 2009 03:16PM Wheat berries have gluten. Not good if you have any sort of gluten intolerance - which has been implicated in intestinal disorders.
I avoid wheat most of the time. Live Well, Laugh Often, Love Much We are all in this together! Namasté Re: made my first bread

Date: October 02, 2009 06:11PM I wonder if the blade of grass (leaf) that sprouts out of the wheat seed (berrie) as it is harvested for WG juice is a complex carb ? Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
