Growing Organic Soft White Wheat Sprout Seeds
Add about 1/3rd cup (5-6 tbsp) organic wheat seeds to a bowl or other container. Cover and soak for 6-8 hours. The wheat berries will expand significantly. After the initial soak, add them to your container of choice. Suitable for a seed sprouting jar, a sprouting tray, or a hemp sprout bag.
Jar or bag: Add to a sprouting jar or bag and begin rinsing 2-3x per day.
Tray: Spread onto a thin layer in a sprouting tray. Rinse or add water 2-3x per day, or follow sprouting tray instructions.
Do not allow the water to sit on the sprouts. This will keep the wheat sprouts fresh, crunchy, and hydrated without oversaturating them. Keep them away from direct light. Begin harvest in 1-2 days or as desired. Sprouted wheat is best enjoyed no later than 24-48 hours from seeding, before any significant shoot development or chlorophyll (green color) is present. A short root of half an inch or less is good. Wheat shoots are too fibrous by day 4. Alternatively, grow as a microgreen to the “grass” stage for juicing.
