Soaking and Sprouting Seeds







Today in our Provident Living Meeting, we learned about sprouting seeds and making gluten.

Step 1 - Put measured seeds, nuts, grains, or legumes into a fine-mesh colander and rinse. Then put them into a glass jar and cover them with pure water 3 to 4 inches above the seeds. let the seeds soak overnight or for the specified tiem. The water awakens the plant enzymes within the seeds, triggering the life force that begins the sprouting cycle.

Step 2 - Place a mesh on the top of the glass jar to prevent seeds from rinsing away. Drain away soak water (and hulls). This will discard the enzyme inhitibors. Rinse the seeds with pure water, then drain again.

Step 3 - Let your seeds rest in the glass jar on the kitchen counter under a towel or another dark palce for 12 to 24 hours. Keep jars at a 45' angle for the best drainage. Rinse and drain twice a day until the desired sprout tails appear.

Step 4 - Expose your sprouts to sunlight for about sixe hours to aactivate the abundance of chlorophyll. Enjoy!
