  • The purpose of soaking and sprouting is to decrease the amount of phytic acid found in beans, legumes, nuts, seeds, and grains. Plants produce phytic acid as a defense mechanism but when we consume large amounts of this plant compound it can interfere with important micronutrient absorption. Remember, we are what we absorb, not what we eat!

    Ive been confused on if i need to close lid/warm area ferment beans / grains / nuts to break down nutrients, or if soaking them with either salt / ACV and water overnight is enough.
    also wondering what the difference between ACV and salt is...
    and what works best to ferment, and what works best to sprout

    Hi, great video!
    I used to sprout in a tray until I came across sprouting jars and get myself a set. I started off with mung beans and watercress. First one was a success , but the latter I have issues with, because of how gelatinous wAtercress becomes after soaking. Have you even done it that way? It’s been already 3 days they are soaking and I’m about to throw them out. I wonder if you have any tips for that.
    Also, do you keep your nuts and seeds in the fridge at all times? I was reading somewhere that they should be kept in cold(regardless whether processed in any way or not).

    I was curious whether there is a list of seeds somewhere which indicates which seeds must be cooked

    confused when I saw some videos of people using sprouted millet when previously I had found information
    indicating that millet must be hulled before consumption as the hull is not edible and as far as I understand you
    can't sprout a seed unless it is whole i.e. sprouted millet is with hull.

    • @AmandaLi

      @@AmandaLi even if a seed has been hulled, meaning it cannot be sprouted (like, say, a hulled sunflower seed), does it benefit at all from the rinse/soak cycle? So if I buy hulled sunflower seeds, would I want to rinse/soak and then dehydrate? I think so but would appreciate your confirmation.

    • @blackmber
      @blackmber Před 2 lety +2

      If you have some seeds already, I would suggest soaking a small amount to see if they will sprout. Some seeds (like split lentils) will begin to sprout even with the hulls removed, and sometimes gardeners will intentionally remove shells or hulls of seeds to make them sprout faster. You may also find that the hull softens or falls off after sprouting, and you will be able to rinse them off or eat them. Only if the seeds are roasted/toasted, crushed or ground they will definitely not sprout.
