I mostly tie up the grains/beans in a cloth instead of the jar/screen method. It works, but is a bit messy. I am going to try your method next. For those looking for ways to use sprouts for something other than baking, here is my favorite recipe: (Version of a popular Indian recipe) 1 part of any sprouted beans (mung works best) 1 part of any soaked/sprouted grain (sprouted quinoa or soaked brown rice work best) 1 cup of grated carrots, or zucchini, or finely chopped spinach/kale Salt 1 Serrano pepper (if you like things spicy) 1 inch piece of ginger A few springs of fresh Cilantro Grind everything (but the carrot/zucchini/spinach/kale) in a blender with some water. Add water until its the consistency is that of pancake batter. Now add the carrot/greens. Spread them out a little thinner than pancakes on a greased skillet, flip and let cook on both sides. Make a quick and healthy breakfast. I love your post and your sprouting setup. I mostly tie up the grains/beans in a cloth instead of the jar/screen method. It works, but is a bit messy.

Just ordered an Excalibur dehydrator and waiting for it to arrive, and the grains will be the first thing I use it for. My question is how does one know when the grains are thoroughly dried? I DO NOT want to damage my mill with grain that still has some moisture in it. Maybe someone can tell me how long they dry their grain and at what temperature. I have a WonderMill, and it is one sensitive baby. Not to mention costly. I realize this is an older topic, but maybe someone will stumble onto this and help. Thank you!

But I think that they are really pretty safe. I just did a <a href="http://www.thenourishinggourmet.com/2009/01/why-sprout.html" rel="nofollow">new post</a> about the benefits of sprouts (both raw and cooked sprouts), and in it I give a few links addressing this issue. Read through those, and research it a little, and see what you think. :-) Hi Adrienne,

Soaking can very effective in reducing anti-nutrients, and I do that method often. :-) Sprouting has it's own benefits, but I also think that soaked grains are good for you too. :-) Hi Julia,

Sometimes I sprout them, but sometimes I just make the batter after soaking the grains overnight. I am wondering just soaking is beneficial, as I know that how much you allow the sprouts to grow is really a preference. Thanks!
