Sprouting Quinoa Recipe
This gluten-free, protein-rich grain becomes even more nutritious and digestible. It is alkaline-forming and we recommend it highly for a balanced body. Sprouts of course can be eaten raw in your salads. This recipe makes approximately 2 cups of sprouted quinoa
Equipment
- Large jar - quart or liter
- Lid with holes in it or a mesh screen
Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa
- Filtered or pure water
Instructions
- Rinse the quinoa thoroughly.
- Put the quinoa into a jar and fill the jar to the top with filtered water.
- Soak the quinoa for 6 hours or overnight may be easier.
- Set the jar in the shade at room temp around 70 degrees.
- Pour off the water, use a strainer as well.
- Rinse the quinoa with more water.
- Thoroughly drain the water from it and set the jar with either the lid or mesh upside down in a container to catch excess dripping water.
- Every 4 - 7 hours, rinse them with water, pour out the water, and then put the jar upside down over a bowl. Although the time does not have to be exact, make sure it is not sitting for too long before being rinsed.
- Sprouting quinoa will take about 1-2 days. Little thin sprouts will come out of the grains.
- Store the quinoa sprouts in a glass jar in the fridge; eat the quinoa sprouts within a few days.
