Soaking Seeds, Nuts and Grains is an easy and healthy way to include additional enzymes and nutrients in your diet. Soaking nuts in fresh water and then rinsing them, allows for easier digestion. Seeds and grains 'come to life' when they are sprouted and are host to a much larger variety of vitamins, minerals and ezymes than their dormant counter-parts.

Please refer to the Quick Reference Sprouting Chart link below for additional information on specific seeds, grains and nuts.

2. Place your grains in a colander with very fine drain holes and rinse very well. You can purchase something like this at the dollar store. There are other tools used for sprouting such as sprouting trays and jars, but this is the method I prefer.

3. Spread the grains out across the bottom and sides of the colander - making sure they are somewhat evenly distributed. Place colander over a smaller bowl with a little water in it. Cover with a kitchen cloth and set in a cool dry location. Rinse the grains well 2-3 times a day, changing the water beneath each time.

4. Please refer to the sprouting chart below for specific soaking and sprouting times. Most grains, seeds and nuts only take a day or so.
