For one, you can make Rejuvelac, which is a delicious lemonade-tasting drink full of wonderfully fermented goodness. AND it is super simple to make.
You can also continue your sprouts to grow wheatgrass, which is so incredibly easy you will wonder why you pay $3 for a 1oz shot at Jugo Juice!
Growing wheatgrass requires a little more time, effort, and equipment. You need trays and soil or a soil blanket. Essentially, you just keep your seeds wet and make sure to check on them every day.
Rejuvelac is super easy on the other hand, and you can also make small sprouts to throw in your salad (though not as delicate as alfalfa).
TO SPROUT, you will need a large pickle-sized jar, water, a cheesecloth and fine mesh strainer, and 1 cup of wheat berries (which makes 3 cups sprouts).
Put the wheat berries in the jar and cover with water, until there is about double as much water than wheatberries. Let soak for 24 hours, then rinse in the strainer, place back in jar and cover with cheesecloth, held in place with a rubber band. Rinse the sprouts once or twice a day, then after 3 days....
You have sprouts!
REJUVELAC: To make this deliciously healthy drink, you will need 1/2 cup of your sprouted wheatberries, with their tails no bigger than 1/4 inch. Place in a blender with 1 cup of water and chop up the sprouts. Then pour into 5 cups of water (or blend together, 6 cups water total) and place in a large glass jar, cover, and set aside.
Stir your mixture twice a day. This mixes up the mixture and will make it taste better. After 3 days, your rejuvelac should be ready. You can strain out the bits as well.
HAPPY SPROUTING!
