Soaking and Sprouting Grains Questions
I have found soaking and sprouting grains to be tedious and time-consuming. So do we really need to go through all this trouble? If we don’t, will it impair our digestion and strip our bodies of much-needed nutrients? Is phytic acid really a problem? I go over these questions in today’s informational video.
There are some reasons why we should not soak and sprout grains, but there are also many benefits to soaking and sprouting, not only grains, but beans and nuts too.
Soaking and Sprouting Beans
In the following videos, I show you how to soak and sprout beans and talk about different approaches you should try in the warmer and cooler months.
I also show you the right way to cook dried beans, which includes soaking them before cooking. This is a popular video that has helped many people enjoy eating and digesting beans when they haven’t had success with beans in the past.
Soaking Oat Groats
Are you ready to make soaked oatmeal? I’ll show you how to soak oat groats to make some of the most nutritious and tastiest oatmeal you’ve ever made.
Soaking Nuts
Do you find nuts hard to digest? I’ll show you how to soak and dry nuts to make them easier to eat and enjoy. In the recipe video, I use pecans, but you can also use another nut that you like.
