Date: March 16, 2014 01:55AM I have tried in the past sprouted wheat and sprouted buckwheat.
I read about sprouted rice or sprouted brown rice. The problem is that they are all difficult to eat row. Re: Anyone eat sprouted grains?

Date: March 16, 2014 03:54AM Buckwheat isn't a grain and is gluten-free. Quinoa isn't a grain either but I think it has similar anti-nutrients. Re: Anyone eat sprouted grains?

The wheat is part of my dinner that l will be starting in less than an hour. Also having algae and lentil sprouts. Sprouted long enough to eliminate uric acid. High quality dinner. Had broccoli/alfalfa/fenugreek sprout juice for breakfast, and had kelp/chlorella and sunflower sprouts for lunch with B12 bacterial supplement. Great breakfast, great lunch, and wonderful dinner.

Date: March 24, 2014 02:35PM yeah, sprouted kamut & rye for manna bread. Sprouted quinoa (not really a grain) for salads. Sprouted lentils (7 grams of protein per cup) and mung beans (3 grams of protein per cup). Obviously, except for the kamut and rye, these aren't grains. but some have included these in the thread, so thought I'd. Re: Anyone eat sprouted grains?

Date: March 24, 2014 02:47PM But how do you eat sprouted kamut and rye?
I has to be made into dehydrated bread? Pretty hard to eat them raw. Re: Anyone eat sprouted grains?

Date: March 24, 2014 03:07PM I usually eat them as bread. But could sprinkle them onto a salad, I agree those, if in a salad just sprinkled.
The sprouted themselves are soft and a little sweet. But best used sparingly if not in bread. Also, the window for getting sprouted without fermentation or grassy taste is pretty short. If the sprout gets much longer the grain, it's probably not going to taste good even in bread. But don't throw them out, make wheat or rye grass and juice instead. Re: Anyone eat sprouted grains?

Date: March 24, 2014 03:16PM Such a small window for human consumption.
Maybe they were not meant for humans. What do they bring health wise that cannot be achieved with other foods? Re: Anyone eat sprouted grains?

Date: March 24, 2014 03:50PM Hmmmm... tough for me to believe not meant for humans when they have sustained human growth and development throughout the neolithic era for the last 10,000 years, albeit in cooked form. [www.youtube.com]
A little barley, wheat or rye sprouted on a salad or manna bread is fine. I think it's better to have a little diversity in your food choices. That said, I agree it's not essential. I think you are correct that there aren't very many nutrients in grains you can't provide with other sources on a raw vegan diet. So, agree in part & disagree in part.

There are so many other foods to choose from for human consumption Sprouting grains may never get rid of all of the anti nutrients. Grain grasses for juicing is a win. Currently I am trying corn micro greens. Life is good. Re: Anyone eat sprouted grains?

Date: March 25, 2014 05:37AM Most anti nutrients do seem to have benefical roles, but we need to keep them in check until we build up the bacteria and enzyme levels in the body (imo) so we can break the anti nutritional chelates that they form.
Many phytochemicals are anti nutrients. Oxalic acid, tannins, phytates, goitrogens etc. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 03/25/2014 05:40AM by The Sproutarian Man. Re: Anyone eat sprouted grains?

Date: March 25, 2014 04:38PM I will never understand why when a person has a negative experience with a particular type of food, then they think it is best for all humans to avoid? How narrow minded, grains are awesome and I feel sorry for all those who can't eat them, but please stop trying to make all other humans avoid them it is just a waste of your energy.

Nobody is forcing their view, the issue is that raw grains are not easily digestible. So you have to cook them. Yet you want to be raw. The forum is discussing how to make them digestible. Would love to eat sprouted raw rice but how? Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 03/25/2014 05:18PM by RawPracticalist. Re: Anyone eat sprouted grains?

Yes, we think in narrow terms about foods. Grains are one of the king foods, but we need to learn how we can unlock their treasures. Many people know the greatness of sprouted grains...folks of old times and modern times know the benefits. Process them well and bring the body back to health and eat certain foods and all will be o.k. Brian Clement and Kulvinskas know the score. If they were as disasterous as the science points out they would be causing all types of problems for HHI people. We can tame the wild beast in those sprouted grains, and imo, if we improve our machine via improving enzyme and good bacteria levels in the body we can handle those grains. It's all to do with upgrading the body machinery, eating certain foods and processing them that counts imo. Bravo to the sprouted grains. May many here discover their greatness. We need to ease into it. Grains make people strong and vibrant. Re: Anyone eat sprouted grains?

They are full of energy, sugars, protein etc. they build muscle etc. Yes people are forcing there opinions stating grains are not good for humans here and in many other posts on this forum in general, clearly you already know this? They might not be easily digestible for YOU, but ANY raw food diet is going to be difficult for a while for most. You don't HAVE to eat sprouted rice but if you would like to...then just sprinkle it sprouted on your salad. Use a dressing if you don't like the taste No one has to be fully raw to start out. Grains might be best soaked or sprouted then cooked to start out. This is all a process, a long process for most. Brian Clement said himself he had issues with many raw foods to start out, even some of the healthiest raw foods will be difficult at first, don't force it...no one is going to arrest someone for going slow. This is a mental, physical and spiritual transformation imo and we should not believe that it will be super easy. And when it is not super easy we should not just give up and say well, I read on the internet that this diet is not good blah, blah, blah. The important thing is to go slow make sure you are getting some B-12 to start out, eat a variety of foods and stay vegan! if possible. The proof is there in the form of what the folks at HHI are doing and all the raw foodists that they collaborate with. Brian Clement is going strong on this diet as is his wife, son and many other HHI students. Re: Anyone eat sprouted grains?

Date: March 26, 2014 01:01AM Bravo Superjuice, you said it all perfectly. Imo, if you can't digest raw sprouted grains then something is wrong and your health still needs to be built up.
Fruit and veggie diet for most = running on empty, not going to fix the health problems completely in the long term IMO. Sproutarian diet for most = running on half a tank of gas. A fermented, supplemented, algae, seaweed sproutarian diet = running on a full tank of gas. It will fix you eventually. Re: Anyone eat sprouted grains?

Fermented sprouted millet because it is much less acidic feeling, so you can manage the grain as a staple better. I find the sprouted fermented gluten grains get too acidic so they should be had much more sparingly. Sprouted beans and sprouited grains can be hard to digest at first, but when you build the body up you can manage it much much better without problems. I still like to top up with ferments regularly because they are extremely important to repair past damage done to the body. The raw food will not give you enough enzymes alone because people have abused cooked foods for a long time. We need seaweeds, food enzymes and ferments to complete the job imo. And we need other bacteria's such as B12. In sum...we need to introduce various bacterias and enzymes to restore the body to health. The raw foods are not enough on their own. We are all sick to some degree so we need un-natural measures to restore higher body functioning. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 03/26/2014 01:09AM by The Sproutarian Man.
