Sprouting

store sprouted-toasted buckwheat in glass jars

Sprouted Buckwheat is one of the world’s healthiest seeds. It’s gluten free, and people can rely on for amino acids, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants!

I grew up eating Japanese soba noodles made with buckwheat, but I had no idea what buckwheat really was. However, trying to eat everything healthy the right way, I came across buckwheat. The first time I saw real buckwheat, I thought it was grain, but it is actually a seed!

Knowing about phytic acids in whole grains, nuts and seeds, I do a lot of fermenting and sprouting of these things before I cook them, and buckwheat is something I like to sprout too!

Sprouting anything sounds difficult, but don’t let the sound of it stop you. To me, sprouting buckwheat is even easier than other kinds of seeds or beans. I’m writing this post while living abroad, and I didn’t have all the equipment I used back home, so I am sprouting buckwheat with a recycled jar, and a basic strainer, and the result is great!…

This single ingredient Sprouted Peanut Butter is extraordinary. It’s so raw, tasty, and best of all, it’s the most digestible peanut butter!

If you have tried sprouting flaxseed and failed, follow these instructions and you will easily have Flaxseed Sprouts growing right in your own kitchen!

Flaxseed is among the superfoods as it’s high in Omega-3. However, as it’s also high in phytic acid, sprouting them helps reduce the anti nutrients and makes it more digestible.

Most people know that sprouted flaxseed and Flaxseed Sprouts are better to consume, but not a lot know how to sprout them.

Sprouted flaxseed is not easy to buy either, so the easiest way to get it in a sprouted form is to make it yourself.

I sprout my own flaxseed every 2-3 weeks depending on how much I do at a time. Once you get your sprouting routine down, you can easily do it too.

I posted about how to sprout flaxseed awhile ago, but this time, let’s make Flaxseed Sprouts.

But, how? …

These Sprouted & Dehydrated Almonds are the best to have for an easy snack. The sprouting process makes them more digestible, and the dehydrating process gives you the maximum health benefits you deserve in a raw form!

As you know, Almonds have massive health benefits. Unfortunately, they also contain a high amount of phytic acid. If you want to make sure you get the maximum nutrition from almonds, try sprouting and dehydrating them before consumption. This method is also great if you want to go further and turn Sprouted & Dehydrated Almonds into almond butter.

The process might sound intimidating as it takes up to 5 days from start to finish. However, the actual work only takes a few minutes. Trust me, it’s easy and straightforward. Once you get it started, you’ll know that the process really is simple. If you plan it well, you can always have them on hand!…

No doubt Sprouted Broccoli and Kale are great to consume raw. They are packed with all kinds of vitamins like calcium and antioxidants–you name it. If you are looking for clear instructions on how to grow your own, wonderful. I’m confident to show you how!

Sprouted Broccoli and Kale are not something you can buy from any grocery store easily. They are very delicate, and need to be handled gently. These might be the reasons why they don’t sell them in grocery stores, and the best way to get them is to grow your own. Fortunately, they are easy to grow right in your own kitchen!

When I first started growing my own Sprouted Broccoli and Kale, I wanted to grow them as microgreens. Even though microgreens and sprouts have pretty much the same health benefits, to me, microgreens look more appealing as the leaves are bigger and greener.

However, growing microgreens requires more equipment and space. It’s almost impossible to grow in a kitchen. I did a lot of research and tried to grow them according to what I learned a few times, but it was very messy and took too much effort. …

Wondering How to Soak and Cook Dried Beans and get it right? This easy-to-understand step-by-step method will answer any questions. Soaking before cooking makes beans more digestible (and tasty). You can see the difference in flavor after your first taste. It takes time and patience to do it right, but it’s REALLY worth the effort!

It’s so convenient to buy canned beans as you can get them in any store, and they are also inexpensive. I did that a few times when my family decided to go meat free 14 years ago, but it didn’t take me long to stop.

There are a few obvious reasons behind my decision. …

and sprouted almonds meal!

Either you are lactose intolerance, vegan, or want to eat healthy food in general. Sprouted Almond Milk is one of the best ways to go. With only raw almonds, salt, water, and patience, you can make this incredibly healthy milk right in your own kitchen. Besides, you can have your own almond meal at the end as a bonus!

When I learned that the sprouting process helps reduce phytic acid, and makes whole grains, beans, nuts and seeds easier to digest years ago, I tried to buy everything sprouted, including Sprouted Almond Milk. Unfortunately, it’s not easy to find it on the market, and the price is very expensive when you do.…

There is no doubt most people know how good Sprouted Flaxseed is, but not many of us know how to sprout it. With only flaxseed, a terracotta dish, and water, let me show you how!

How are we going to get Omega-3? That was one of the first few questions I asked myself when my family started a plant-based diet 13 years ago, and flaxseed has become part of our essential diet. However, I was afraid, and in fact I stopped consuming flaxseed products entirely when I found out about phytic acid, and also how flaxseed can go rancid so easily….

Are you thinking about going the extra distance to make your own tofu? Here’s how to make Sprouted Tofu with only soybeans, water, and lemon juice. This method will assist you step-by-step from the beginning to end!

Sprouted Tofu has long been a top protein choice for plant-based diet people, including me. It’s versatile, tasty, and easy to use in most recipes, from main dishes to healthy dessert, you name it!

For years, I never thought about making my own tofu–especially sprouted. I thought it was too difficult, plus it’s so easy to buy in most grocery stores–even in most countries….

Organic whole grain cereal and whole oatmeal were the ideal options for healthy breakfasts in my family for a long time. It was easy and convenient to open a box of cereal, or to cook oatmeal straight from the storage jar in the morning. However, I completely changed my way of eating whole grains since 2013, when I learned how phytic acid might be associated teeth problems.

Soaking and fermenting whole grains can reduce phytic acid, and this method was how people in the past prepared their grains before consuming them. Unfortunately, nowadays, people aren’t spending time doing it much. I was fascinated with what I learned, and it steered me to prepare grains in these ways.

Are you ready to try eating fermented whole grains properly prepared in a traditional way?

I’m going to show you first how to soak or ferment and cook raw whole grains, and the second one is how to soak rolled oats & barley flakes. I used both of them mostly for breakfast….
