It is necessary
- - wheat grains;
- - flat plate;
- - clean gauze;
- - purified water.
Instructions
Step 1
To germinate wheat for food, use a large flat plate or dish. The size of the dishes should depend on the number of beans you want to germinate, or you can use a flat tray.
Step 2
Prepare the wheat itself, sort it thoroughly, and then rinse it. Rinse the wheat with already purified water to prevent the seeds from absorbing the bleach in the running water.
Step 3
Spread the washed wheat on a plate, dish or tray in one layer, cover the grains with regular cheesecloth on top. In this case, the gauze must be folded in 2-4 layers so that the water does not dry out too quickly from the wheat grains.
Step 4
On top of the gauze, gently pour a small amount of purified water, make sure that the wheat does not float in the water, if necessary, carefully drain off the excess liquid. Remove the dish or tray with wheat grains for 12-16 hours in a warm place. The warmer you choose the place, the faster your wheat will germinate.
Step 5
The ideal option would be to put wheat on the windowsill, the penetrating sun rays will not only additionally heat the grains, but also have a disinfecting effect.
Step 6
After half of the required time, moisten the wheat again with purified water. The wheat is ready to eat when the grains show green sprouts 1 to 2 millimeters long. After that, rinse the already germinated wheat with clean water and put in a separate plate.
Step 7
Sprouted wheat should be stored exclusively in the refrigerator for no more than one day. To keep the grains a little longer, you can sprinkle them with lemon juice or a little honey. However, the sooner you eat wheat germ, the more beneficial qualities you will get from it.
