Hardly any people know about what can be done with wheat or even what it looks like. There are some health enthusiasts who know about it and really enjoy using it.
Typically, you wouldn't normally have any wheat at all unless you know about the benefits of food storage. Some people like to have wheat on hand, they can grind it into flour and make their own bread and baked goods.
Some people make a lightly fermented drink called rejuvelac that is awesome for getting your probiotics and has more beneficial bacteria than yogurt. Then, there is the sprouting that you can do with wheat.
And, you would probably want to know that sprouted wheat has all the nutrition you could ever need. If you let the wheat sprout even more, it can become sprouted wheat grass.
Sprouted wheat grass is very nutritious and is used by some in the fight to build the immune system and conquer cancer. But, simple sprouted wheat is definitely the easier choice to try.
Simple sprouted wheat tastes sweet and is something that children love. It makes a very healthy, fun, and t
asty snack.
By soaking the wheat in water for 12 hours, you unlock the hidden life force of the dry wheat. It will soon have a drastic increase in nutrition.
There will be vitamins A and C that weren't there before, live enzymes to help with digestion, increases in other vitamins and minerals, and some starch left for energy.
Wheat germ is the special part of the seed that is packed with nutrition. If you ever take the time to read a nutrition book, you will find that almost ever vitamin and mineral will list wheat germ as a good source for the nutrients.
So, when you let the live wheat seed sprout for a few days, there will be an increase in all of those nutrients as well. Put the soaked and rinsed wheat in a sprouter or colander and cover it so that the seeds don't dry out.
Then, make sure that you rinse them twice daily. In a day or two, you will see the shoot start to come out, and it may even turn green soon.
You can eat and enjoy it at this point. It's so good for you and can be added to salads, breads, and even casseroles. Best of all, you can just snack on them like they are, and your health can start improving.
