As I mentioned in my last post, I went ahead and dried some of the sprouts to be ground into a flour at a later date. To dry them, I just put them in the cold oven and selected the lowest setting (170). As soon as the oven was done preheating, I turned it off and just let the sprouts sit in the oven as it cooled. I repeated this over and over for about 5 hours, then the last time, I just left them in the cold oven for a couple of days.
They are now crunchy and not quite as sweet, which I like. I am not sure how I will grind them into flour....perhaps use my husband's coffee grinder? Then I will try to add them to a bread recipe or perhaps just make some crackers. I will let you know!
Has anyone tried any sprouting? I would love to hear comments or suggestions. :)
I have sprouted lentils to munch on. I actually had a plastic thingy with three levels with small slots. I just had to add water and it would drip through and keep the beans perfectly moist. I would love to find another one of those. I did dried peas also. Yummy.
ReplyDeleteDried peas? So do they end up crunchy? Or do you have to reconstitute them to eat?
