DO the seeds always have to be soaked? I just toast them as I do with almonds etc

I have only toasted them. I have never soaked them. I suppose soaking them could be good if you want them sprouted .

No. We keep them in our freezer and eat them as is out of freezer. They're excellent tasting and as a food stuff.

I don't know about that because I've never entertained the idea of dehydrating sprouted grains. I just looked at my Clean-A-Screen tray and I don't think they would fall through because they have puffed up a bit. I don't do any sprouting myself but am going to give it a try after the holidays. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

These are great to start seeds, or to root clones taken from another plant. As with any plant, it will require water and air to the roots. So these should be moist, and you can soak them until bubbles stop rising from them. Two minutes covered in water should have them ready to use. They can sit in a tray with a little water in it. You can decide if you will need a clear dome to keep moisture in. These will also make you an incredible lover!

I just dribble in enough so that the seed is coated after you mix it. I mix it with my hand in a rubber glove. That stuff is hot.

Personally, I don't soak the beans because I feel the taste gets "lost". But, if you are intimidated by the aroma, you might soak them for a few minutes, drain and mash. Hope this helps.

I have never cooked them that way. My husband is from Fla., and he taught me,( I'm from the Northwest), to bring about 2 cups of water to a slow simmer, stir in about 1/2 cup of grits SLOWLY. Let simmer until they begin to pop out of the pan. Place a lid over pan and cook untill thick. You can add salt if you wish. I then add shredded sharp cheese to it until it is as thick as you want it. Serve over fried eggs . Good eating!

Hi Kathryn:I just rinse the seeds off before the initial soaking. I believe they are organic, so they should be fine.But contact The Sprout House if you are worried.Best,Sarah

toasting the flax seeds adds another dimension to the taste of the seeds just as toasting sunflower or pumpkin seeds does. you can bake them in the oven on 350 for several minutes, under the broiler or my favorite is placing the seeds in a non-stick pan on medium high heat. Warm the pan first, then place the seeds in pan stirring continuously for 2-3 minutes. They actually begin to make a crackling and popping sound like popcorn. Watch them closely as you don't want to burn them! Cool the seeds and place them in an air tight container.

Yes, I have used Great River organic wheat grass seeds for several months with great success. After washing the seeds, I soak the seeds with hydrogen peroxide for 30 minutes; soak for 10 hours , then wash again and soak again for another 10 hours, wash and drain . I use cococoir for planting

Soak seeds over night in glass container or tea cup. Rinse in the morning and place on drain system. Seeds should cover the bottom of each container and not pile on each other. Rinse 2-3 times a day. Keep away from direct sunlight. Use common pin to clear debris from holes when clogged. Happy Sprouting!

Yes, I do and have been since I've been buying them. I just added a tablespoon to my cereal this morning along with bobs red mill raw pumpkin seeds, they're great. However I do roast them occasionally with the pumpkin seeds, almonds, shredded coconut, raisins, sweetener of your choice ( I use Splenda) and egg whites. Mix all ingredients in a bowl and then spread on parchment lined baking sheet. Place in cold oven, then set temp to 325degs. F. and roast for 25min.

You are probably using dark beans. Put the beans on a paper towel for a couple hours so the oils will be dried. That usually does the trick for me.

You are supposed to let seeds soak initially for a certain number of hours (approx 8-12 hrs depending on seed type). After soak to drain and rinse seeds. Most seeds require them to be rinsed and drained 2 times a day until they fully sprout. They should not be left in standing water and should be drained well after rinsing, so there should be no water left in the jar to drain out. There are some good youtube videos if you need further instruction. Hope this helps

Soak the almonds in water over night. Then juice the almonds that have since soaked up the water during the over night soak. Juice them with the finest setting so the pulp is driest. I would add water to the leftover pulp and juice the pulp in the machine once again. The butter will be stuck in the internal mechanisms of the machine. It's not very much though.

The seeds arrive hulled and ready for grinding, if that is your choice. As I add them to oatmeal, I grind mine. I leave them whole for salads.

Yes, you can...but they are much better toasted. I don't use any oil or salt. Place all seeds on the large skillet and it takes only about 5 min. on the medium-high heat with constant stirring.

I used the method of using a damp napkin putting the seeds in the folded napkin and seal it with some air in a zip-lock bag. I had about a 95% success this way. Once sprouted, gently plant in good moisture controlled soil.
