HOW TO SPROUT EINKORN WHEAT BERRIES

Prep Time5 minutes
Sprouting1 day 8 hours

Ingredients

  • 1 cup einkorn wheat berries
  • 2 quarts water

Instructions

  • Put a cup of einkorn berries in a quart mason jar. Fill the jar with filtered water and cover with a mesh lid.
  • Keep it on the counter for 8 hours or overnight. You won't see any activity at the end of 8 hours. Drain the water (that's why a mesh lid is so convenient), rinse the grains with fresh water.
  • Discard the water again, tilt the jar to the side taking care to leave half the screen exposed, for air to circulate. Leave it in a warm place for 1 to 3 days, changing the water twice a day. The grains should stay moist but not submerged in water.
  • The sprouting will start in 12 to 24 hours after the end of your first soak. Once tiny tails start showing - the grains are done. You don't want to let the sprouts to get too long.
  • Rinse the grains again and drain well. Then dry them in a dehydrator, or spread them on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at the lowest oven temperature until dry, about 3 hours.
