Step-by-step cooking

Cooking time: 2 d

Step 1:
First you need to take good quality wheat. This can be purchased in eco-shops.
Step 2:
Then thoroughly wash the wheat in cold water several times, clearing it of debris.
Step 3:
Drain all the water that was contaminated with it. And this is the kind of clean washed wheat we should get. It is better to germinate wheat in some wide, spacious dish.
Step 4:
Now fill our washed wheat with clean boiled or purified water. And we leave it, for example, overnight or if you don't have an evening, for 8-10 hours in the water.
Step 5:
After this time, drain the water from the plate with wheat, rinse it again thoroughly with clean water. And we leave our cereal for another 12-16 hours without water to germinate. After you have drained the water, the wheat remains moist, it will have enough of this moisture to germinate, but the top layer may dry out. Therefore, you can take moistened gauze and cover a plate with wheat with it.
Step 6:
When the time has passed, the wheat should have already hatched. Small sprouts will already appear. This means it is already possible to eat such wheat. Or you can leave it for another 8-10 hours to let it germinate even more.
Step 7:
This is the wheat we got after 8-10 additional hours. Wonderful sprouts.

What mistakes can be made during germination:
- if you left a lot of water when it needed to be drained already.
- sprouted too much wheat in a deep dish.
If wheat has not sprouted within 2 days, then you can not eat it.
Before using sprouted wheat, it must be thoroughly washed.
Wheat will be the most useful when sprouts germinate by 3 mm.
Keep sprouted wheat in the refrigerator. But there the germination process continues, albeit slower. Therefore, do not delay its use.
Bon appetit! Be healthy!
