Sprouted wheat berries for milling

Equipment

  • Container(s) such as gallon bucket, or jar
  • baking sheet
  • freeze dryer or dehydrator

Materials

  • Wheat berries of your choice (soft white sprouts the fastest, hard wheats and ancient grains take longer)
  • Pure filtered water

Instructions

  • Fill your container(s) of choice 3/4 full of wheat berries and cover with two inches water. Let the wheat berries soak for 24 hours and then drain the remaining water and transfer them to baking sheets or freeze dryer trays, and cover with a dish towel. They should sprout significantly in the next 24 to 48 hours.
  • When the wheat berries have sprouted to your desired amount, place them onto your dehydrator trays if using a dehydrator, and set the temperature to 110℉ for 6-8 hours. If using a freeze dryer, simply load the trays into it and let it run a normal cycle.
  • Store in airtight containers for up to 6 months.

Notes

I own a medium Harvest Right freeze dryer and LOVE it! I've had it for over two years now and have defiantly gotten my moneys worth out of it. Here's a link to their company.  https://affiliates.harvestright.com/2935.html
