Any thoughts on making baby cereal from home milled sprouted grains? I have barley, brown rice, ameranth, millet, rye, and quinoa so it would be one those. Do you think that after sprouting, dehydrating, and milling the flour that it should be cooked?
My thought is that I would want to cook it for her. I think making baby cereal from home milled sprouted grains is great! Yes, serve cooked.
Serving raw would be tough on the digestion! IS soaking using red or white wine vinegar good too? Thank you. I purchased the flour mill and the whole grain. Hi Feb!

Does using water alone for soaking help at all; or is an acidic medium mandatory? Or does long 48 — 72 hours length of smoking time help too? Just before you consume them? Or during the initial soaking phase which is usually followed by rinse and drain cycles that can last a couple of days? That is, do you lose the phytase during the rinse and drain cycles?

Hi Claire! For some, that little bit of phytase is enough to cause problems during digestion. As for home vs. As you can see in the photo above, the two examples of soaked pearled barley are gray, while the un-soaked one remained beige throughout cooking.
As for cooking times, the soaked ones, both with and without salt, were ready in just half the time, 15 versus 30 minutes.
Despite the color differences, the flavors of all the batches were comparable. Moral of the story: So long as you don't mind off-colored, drab-looking grains, pre-soaking pearled barley can save you some cooking time. Based on the first two tests, I was fully expecting the oats to follow the trend of cooking faster after a good soaking: While they're technically a whole grain, steel-cut oats have been chopped into tiny pieces, exposing plenty of inner-grain surface area for the water to penetrate without having to go through the bran.
To my surprise, the oats all cooked up into creamy oatmeal in 35 minutes, irrespective of soaking and salting.
Guess I'll be sticking with eggs as my quick-cooking breakfast staple. Well, mainly that soaking grains isn't necessarily going to speed things up, and salting doesn't seem to make a salt- lick of difference.
