Fermenting & Cooking Whole Grains

This is how I eat almost all my grains now by soaking or fermenting before cooking them. It is fun once you see how, and you'll find the health benefits are great.

    Im curious, what is the point of fermentation if you kill off the good bacteria by cooking it?

    Wild yeasts which cause initial breakdown of sugars and acetobacter that removes harmful chemicals. Plants fight their consumers chemically, it's their natural defense. Stuff like gluten and phytic acid causes damage to us and these microorganisms remove the plant's defense mechanism.

    Do you then dry them and grind them for flour? Or do you use them sort of like one might use rice? If doing this to make grains more digestible, could one first soak them overnight, then sprout them and then ferment them? And if fermenting them after soaking and sprouting, is it best to coarsely grind them first. And it's a tblsp. per cup of grains, is that right?

    in this video, I don't dry them, I use them for breakfast porridge. Yes soaking and fermenting make whole grains more digestible. You can certainly dry and grind after soaking, and that's what I do too. I only use 1 TBSP of whey, vinegar or juice from fermented vegetables per jar.

    Yes, you can use lemon juice, or apple cider vinegar instead of whey for the first time. After the first night before you dump the soaking water, reserve about 10% of it in a small glass jar. Keep it in the fridge and use it instead of lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, or whey for your next soak. I'm glad you are interested in this!

    Whey is one of the end products of fermented milk. It shows up early in cheese production, and in yogurt and kefir when left standing a while. It's the runny liquid.

    DAPTXDC4869 Right. The use of whey doesnt make sence to me. Rejuvalc would be much more beneficial and at least an option for some concerned by using a product that is highly Mucus forming. Just kind of defetes thenpurpose of eating healthy IMO at least. Not trying to ruffle feathers at all. Some people just do not know I surely did not for most of my life. 👍🤗✌️.

    @@immalivingagain3672 I've never heard of rejuvelac before. It sounds interesting after looking it up, though milk will always be a mainstay for me. I just drink water after I'm done and it clears the throat fine, like when you're thirsty after eating something sugary. The whey is just there to better ensure safe, consistent, and faster results in the end product, and in some cases to add extra nutrients. You get less diversity for it, but it's also less risky than trying wild microbes. It's a tradeoff. Your choice in the end.

    Grains contain many anti-nutrients, phytates, etc. In order to ensure that the grains are nourishing, one should soak, sprout and ferment the grains and also cook them. Grains should never be eaten raw. Get all the good things you need from raw foods elsewhere, because unless grains are cooked, they will still contain a fairly large amount of anti-nutrients.
