I sprout and while still moist I add a bit of salt and pass it thru my juicer and form a loaf , stick it in the oven at 250 degrees for 3 hours and you’ll have sprouted dense bread and we love it!

[@virginiaadams5091]

I bake in my slow cooker a few hours when I make a bread similar to yours. I brown top under broiler for a few minutes when finished baking

[@ViaAngeles-ve5uj]

Yes! No need to dehydrate, make flour, then add water and bake - using more power.

[@derr2438]

I sprout wheat, and horse oats, popcorn, whatever I can get my hands on, for my chickens. A great money saver as they get much more nutrition from the berries than if dried. Kylene if you have ever sprouted popcorn (it takes longer and you have to soak and change the water) some of those sprouts are as sweet as stevia. At least in the batch I got from the farms of Pennsylvania. Tay good for me to know how to sprout, dry, grind and use sprouted wheat for cereal. Thanks everybody!

[@chelseacraft4669]

So what you’re saying is… You’re feeding your chickens better than people eat. 😂 I hope you’re eating what your chickens are eating.

[@sel7245]

I sprout "Horse-oats" too. In my country I can get 20 kg (45 pounds) of whole oats for about 15 $.. And 25 kg of yellow peas for 15 $.. Thats 100 pounds for 30$..But I eat it my self.. I always combine oats and peas to get a complete protein. And I always ferment both oats and peas to get rid of most/all "antinutrients".

[@sallytrier8400]

My wheat is just sitting in a 5 gallon bucket waiting for shtf. Now I know what I’ll do with it when the time comes, thx to you.

[@ngipon123]

Please correct me I am wrong. I have read somewhere before that if we are to sprout our grains, it should not be stored with oxygen absorber.

[@susanfraser1647]

I’d love to see more recipes like making tortillas.

[@audreylopez3851]

I have red wheat and this helps me so much. Thank you so much ❤

[@humblecourageous3919]

I bought some wheat berries due to possible food shortages during the pandemic. I had given away my wonderful electric stone wheat grinder a few years before as whole wheat flour was so readily available. I bought a hand grinder on Amazon for the new wheat berries but it doesn't grind the wheat properly. I have discovered that I can sprout the wheat for a couple of days, grind it in a food processor (without drying), and make veggie patties (using herbs and nutritional yeast). I fry them in a little oil. They taste all right, not as tasty as Morning Star veggie sausage, but they are acceptable.

[@The_Gallowglass]

This also the way to make beer from sprouted grain. Get it to sprout then dry it out, makes the sugars available (maltose), give it a grind and put it in your fermenter. Of course, in the old days they'd dry the sprouted grains in a kind of smoke house with wood or peat.

[@Jillian1stJohn3-9-10]

I just found Sue Becker's video yesterday and so I have been trying to binge watch options on how to eat wheat without baking bread everyday, and so this so far is my absolute favourite video❤

[@anns9295]

This is a fantastic technique for sprouting wheat berries. I sprout my wheat berries this way; it is easy and saves a lot of time.

[@deejay7344]

That looked so yummy. I love oatmeal and I’m pretty sure I’d like this too. Great video!

[@virginiaadams5091]

I use sprouted grains for my sourdough bread. I use 2/3 sprouted and 1/3 bread flour.

[@Eric-fq5wx]

I have a hard time getting whole wheat to rise in sourdough. Does sprouting help with rising?

[@trishfriesen8943]

Superb info with great visuals. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@kj7653]

Thank you so much for this information. I can now use my wheat.

[@philw7174]

Terrific. Thank you Tay, Kylene and Jonathan for this video. Happy trails!

[@jaysbaby2012]

I sure have missed you guys.... Don't know what happened, but I stop seeing your videos and couldn't think of the name because I have soooo many I watch but I have moved up the notifications for your videos so now I will see you in the listings and not miss any... I just love you guys and I think you are awesome because you are so informative and for that I thank you.

[@GingeryR]

I miss wheat since diagnosed with celiac. Maybe I’ll try sprouted oats

[@estherpalmer1917]

I was thinking the same! I am going to try it

[@incorectulpolitic]

How many hours/day do the sprouted wheat berries need to air dry ? Can that Marga grinder grind/crush sprouted wheat berries which are still wet from soaking?

[@taykratzer]

I air-dry them for 3 days. You can grind/crush the sprouted wheat berries before they are completely dry. Personally, I have found that when I do that, the cereal doesn't absorb water as well and the texture just becomes more chewy than I personally prefer. But I'm sure others might like the chewier version. Enjoy, Tay

[@incorectulpolitic]

do you have any idea how did the ancient Essenes crush the soft/wet sprouted grains to make a dough out of them, in order to flatten them and then put them under the sun ?@@taykratzer

[@taykratzer]

@@incorectulpolitic nada.

[@mist4926]

Mortar and pestle maybe ​@@incorectulpolitic

[@kbjerke]

Wow! That wheat cereal looks yummy! I'll do this with my homemade maple syrup!!

[@kathrynparker983]

Thanks for saying the type of wheat (red)!

[@lazaruscharity1121]

glad i saw this. i just finished watching your video from 4 years ago on if you can sprout old wheat.

[@marygallagher3428]

Looks like a great method for low humidity areas. I wonder why Tay feels the sprouts are not suitable to use for making bread? Gluten content too low???

[@taykratzer]

Precisely.

[@amberluttrelll8359]

Thank you for sharing. I’ve been wondering how to do this

[@lizbethmagdaleno4226]

Wow. so important information. as I was watching the video I was already trying that method. Great video. Thank you

[@jenniferdutton2469]

Thank you! I'm definitely going to try that.

[@elaines5179]

Can you show making your own bulgur wheat. It is cracked and pre cooked and dried. Easy to add to soups and stews instead of rice.

[@JaniceCrowell]

I wonder if you can freeze dry the sprouted wheat.

[@russlay8309]

Good video. Is this process similar (or the same as) making malted wheat ?

[@Zamock45]

I've tried sprouting wheat for the first time, it went horribly wrong. Only few sprouted, the rest got molds and it stinks really bad. I'm gonna try it again this time with your method. I hope it goes well.

[@taykratzer]

We have a dry climate in Utah where I live. Perhaps that's part of it. Not sure.

[@debbieschultz2945]

I actually sprout my wheat to make flour for bread and cookies! Not sure why Tay doesn’t?

[@taykratzer]

If that works for you great. We only make the bread in a bread maker, and the bread collapsed because of the lack of gluten. But if it works for you I'm so happy.

[@freerider37]

Question: wouldnt it mold when air dried?? I'm new to this.

[@roniniowa1661]

the original cream of wheat! without the box.

[@joeljones6728]

Great INFO!!! Super Thanks!!

[@mamabird2434]

Sad can’t make bread with it. Because of loss of gluten but still very good info thanks

[@humblecourageous3919]

One of the other people have commented on making bread from it. I saw a youtube video of a woman who made the bread with the sprouted wheat mushed in her juicer and baked at 250 degrees for 3 hours with no other ingredients.

[@lynneanderson8643]

I make sourdough from my wheat berries. I heard him say you can’t make bread out of sprouted wheat . I’ve heard that you shouldn’t use sprouted wheat for making sourdough, but I thought you could make bread with yeast. What do you think?

[@jackgoldman1]

I am curious about the sugar content of grains, carbohydrates, spiking sugar for type two diabetics. Seems a lot of storage foods are highly glycemic like white rice, white flour, white potatoes, processed foods. Any ideas on making storage food better for type two diabetics? The main idea is wheat berries, get you some, hundreds of pounds. No wheat, no sprouts, no food. Have to have it to use it. Could do this for Cream of Wheat with no sprouting. Lots of ways to live life. People are obsessed with food. Good job. Thanks.

[@sarahb8983]

Thank you for the great video content, so helpful. May I ask what kind of grinder does Tay have? Thank you again for all you do. God Bless.

[@taykratzer]

It's a "Marga" grinder.

[@incorectulpolitic]

But why go through all of this hard work and then at the end kill the grain via cooking it ?

[@denisechildofgod]

I ise white diapers cut to fit my dehydrator to catch all the tiny stuff that falls through the holes.

[@kolobkolobkolobkolob]

Oh try some from Cal a ranch without success high very high failure rate for there oats.

[@kolobkolobkolobkolob]

Interested in good source for 50 lb bags wheat etc that will actually sprout not having any luck so far with high failure rate. Any suggestions. Ha ha no worries but Berries after wheat is just someone who decided make that up no such thing as wheat berries just wheat lol but all good . Any suggestions appreciate. Another well put together video. Thanks you guys.

[@ChipNov1998]

Can you just cook the sprouted berries with some seasoning without milling them?

[@taykratzer]

Never tried that myself, but I would imagine that works.

[@user-zz7nr9dt5x]

Interesting that you don't rinse and repeat three times a day after your initial soak, like most recommend. Saves time and effort. I wonder what I'm doing wrong. Soaked sproutable, organic einkorn berries for 16 hours in glass jar. Drained, rinsed three times a day. Its been 48 hours now and still no sprout tails showing on the berries. Thoughts?

[@taykratzer]

Perhaps it's the wheat? Maybe it's too dead? Not sure.

[@dallinkratzer9486]

Hi Dad!

[@k.p.1139]

Humm, I'm in Florida. I tried to sprout wheat 2 times...It didn't go so well for me. Within 24 hours it had soured. We keep the a/c on but, I don't think it's enough. When he said leave it 3 days..I cringed. 😆😆Maybe I need to use purchased sprouted wheat.

[@kathrynparker983]

Do you have a water filter on your faucet?

[@taykratzer]

Yes, a reverse osmosis system.

[@selfhealherbs13ms]

So if we buy something label sprouted wheat, it's been done for us, and I dont have to do the process? I'm new to all this thank you so much

[@TheProvidentPrepper]

Correct. If it is already been sprouted it will not sprout again.

[@lisaharrington3241]

Why did he say he doesn’t make bread with sprouted wheat?

[@hollyk4368]

So did you just let it dry on its own or use a food dehydrator? What would you think about freeze drying it instead of dehydrating?

[@TheProvidentPrepper]

I would just let it air dry. I did put it in my car on a warm day to help it along once. I haven't tried freeze-drying it yet.

[@RyanMercer]

👍

[@RyanMercer]

@@TheProvidentPrepper still just applications and rejections, day 41. I've got another 5-6 weeks before I just go get a warehouse or retail job for the time being so not too worried yet.

[@user-il7eg9qq9c]

I tried this method and mine were completely dry after the first day. So they won't sprout. Going back to the old rinsing method. Has anyone else tried this method and have that happen? I know our house is very dry due to being in the heating season. So maybe you need a higher humidity setting?

[@taykratzer]

You may try adding a little bit more water to the pan, or you may soak the wheat berries for 2 days so that they absorb more water. I have done that.

[@natashagriesemer777]

Newbie here! Why wouldn’t you sprout hard white wheat?

[@taykratzer]

Just a preference for me. There are a few more nutrients in red wheat based on my research.

[@natashagriesemer777]

[@carolpratt3761]

Vitamin c is great. However, low heat kills vitamin c. How to retain vitamin c without heating?

And do you just grind it to make sprouted wheat flour?

[@TheProvidentPrepper]

Yes but it must be completely dry.

[@tammygillettVictoryGarden]

why does Tay sprout red and not white? soft or hard?

[@taykratzer]

From my research, red wheat has more nutrients. Not sure, but I just go with that theory :)

[@lolo54260]

why doesn't it work for bread?

[@nancyw.sullivan8675]

Can not grind the sprouted wheat in stone grinder to make bread flour.

[@tessa35]

Why would you not use it in bread?

[@taykratzer]

I tried to make bread in my breadmaker with sprouted wheat...it looked like a collapsed cake. So just be aware of that. But I'm sure others could figure this idea out. I just haven't tried to figure it out, because I like to use my breadmaker for making bread. I basically do things the easiest way possible, because I don't have much time in the kitchen. -Tay Kratzer

LDS Prepper has a great recipe & video making bread with both sprouted and whole wheat. Mixing the two looked fantastic.

[@quilterjanet]

Ok... I'm gluten intolerant as well. It's really hard to have someone say... hey, you can eat this, try it. Ummm... not so fast. I compare the intestinal pain I get for hours and hours from eating gluten with falling off my bike. When I fall on my bike, I may break my wrist, have road rash up my leg, break a tooth and take weeks to recover. Getting back on the bike is hard. So... going back to wheat is like riding a bike and knowing what a crash feels like. No one knowingly goes back to that. Do I want to crash? No, not so much. I grasp the concept of it being better... but seriously... the broken tooth, the broken wrist... I can't. Does anyone else feel this way? From talking with others that are gluten intolerant my reaction is mild. How do you psych yourself out to try sprouted wheat? I have thousands of pounds of wheat and have only been gluten intolerant for 3 years and I think I'll just have some rice, thanks.

[@amyl.3236]

I believe she said gluten sensitive, not gluten intolerant. There is huge difference. You are correct, one could not use this for intolerance.

[@TJ_in_GA]

I think i would skip all the sprouting and just grind and cook the wheat

[@taykratzer]

I've done that. I just prefer sprouting. The wheat texture is different and more enjoyable. And I am striving to get more nutrition from my food.
