Growing Organic Hard 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.
Benefits of Organic Hard White Wheat Sprouts
Wheat sprouting seeds grow a fiber-rich sprout fortified with Vitamins B, C, and K, folic acid, and protein. Hard white Wheat Sprouts also contain plentiful antioxidants, which aid the body in purging out toxins. The fiber they contain is soluble fiber, which is crucial in maintaining a healthy gastrointestinal tract. Hard white wheat sprouts contain less protein than hard red but with an overall more pleasing flavor and texture.
Culinary Tips
Our most popular grain, Hard White Wheat, can be sprouted and ground to make bread or grown into the grass stage for juicing. Eat the sprouts raw on salads and sandwiches for a bit of sweetness. Simmer them into soups for added heartiness. Add them into smoothies for a creamy, hearty texture. Sprouted wheat breakfast cereals are also very popular to start the day.
