One thing I've noticed about Emmy is that no one's really ever tried to "replicate" her success. I genuinely think that's because she doesn't exactly have a certain "style" of video, but rather what we mostly watch her videos for are her willingness and love of trying new things. I love that about her!

Fun fact, the first part of this process is essentially how beer gets made. Barley instead of wheat is germinated (not left to grow to the long grass stage but only the first short rootlet stage) and then kilned or heated to stop the growth of the plant. This process, called malting, activates enzymes called amalases that convert starch (in this case provided by rice but in beer is also provided by the malt or wheat or other ingredients) into smaller sugars like maltose that brewer's yeast can convert into alcohol. -Sincerely, a food scientist who works at a malt company. 😊

You might find it interesting to look up samanu, which is an ancient Persian dessert made just from malted wheat, which is still made today in countries which were formerly part of the Persian Empire. I usually have malt syrup in the cupboard, but I've never made my own. It was interesting to see how it's made. The one I use is made from barley. I've seen one made from rye, too. Did you give the grain you strained out to the chickens? My mom used to make mash for her chickens using a similar process, though she never made syrup.

With that sprouted wheat, could you try to replicate Ezekiel breads? I think it would be an interesting experiment

Hi Emmy! I can't help not to comment on this video. I'm from Europe and we have quite a long tradition of making maltose this way you did on the video! We would normally stop the wheat (or more often barley) a bit earlier than you did to preserve starch inside the grain, though. This sprouted grain we call MALT - hence the MALTOSE - sugar derived from malt. But what you do next is NOT at all called "fermentation" !!!! It is called "mashing" - activating an enzyme that emerges during sprouting in grain. This enzyme in exactly 63°C (145°f) is able to convert starch (long chain of carbohydrates) into maltose (double bond glucose). You did that with your rice! The sweet water you have filtered out we call WORT. You can boil it down into a syrop - like you did. Or better!!! - Let it ferment (now it is called fermentation). Depending on the kind of yeast you use for fermentation (top - high temperature yeast, or bottom - low temperature) you'd get one of two most exciting european drinks. One is called Ale, and the other called Beer. I really recommend doing one of those drinks in next video!! :)

@your3kidding

Nice explanation. I think "fermentation" is why a commenter seemed concerned whether this contained alcohol.

Until now I only knew about malt made from barley. I've always loved the flavor of malt. I buy malt powder and put it in a lot of desserts and in my coffee and certain types of tea. Barley malt is delicious! I'm very tempted to try wheat grass malt syrup.

Have you ever had amazake before? This is a very similar process to that, except here it is the enzymes in the seeds (amylase) that normally break down the wheat seed starch being used to also break down the rice starch into various simple sugars. Heh, instead of reducing the strained liquid to syrup, you could add yeast and make an unusual form of rice wine! Grass-sake, so to speak. 😆

Emmy, Emmy, Em-myyy!!! Thank-you doesn't come close to expressing my appreciation for your research and courage to discover amazing food sources!! I was enthralled watching you take the first taste of the watery, fermented slush! Absolute Bravery!! The result, after you boiled it into syrup, was spectacular! I grow wheat grass, then drink a wheat shot a day, but never knew it could be modified so completely into a wholesome, sweet syrup. Millions of humans across the world are "Prepping" for a future, cataclysmic event, wherein there will be food shortage. Yet, right here you have shown how to use a small amount of seeds and rice to replace a multitude of other sweetness.... One could learn to use the Wheat Syrup in coffee, definitely in tea, and in all other sweetened foods, yet, the ingredients don't take up crucial storage space. No doubt whatever is left after draining the fermented slush can be tossed to the farm animals to eat so nothing is wasted at all and the process is also not labor intensive. You explain the details and history beautifully. I'm going to share, share, share your video with everyone on my contacts list because I feel this is a knowledge that is essential to survival and staying healthy. Growing and eating sprouted wheat is a necessary, nutritional building block and creating the syrup is an amazing bonus which is full of Umami. Thank-you Emmy.

Took me back to the malt candy lollipops my grandpa loved from growing up in the prairies. There's something about the kind of glassy look of the syrup that just precisely matches those lollipops! And it really was a different flavor than other candy.

That color reminds me of a sugary caramell snack we eat for christmas here in Sweden - Knäck! It's boiled syrup, cream and sugar that is cooked to the soft ball stage and at then we place them in little molds and sprinkle almonds over it. I'd love to see you try your hand at it!

An awesome idea! I regularly ferment my chicken scratch feed (they won't eat it any other way lol) and I always leave some around my roses to grow. But I never thought to turn it into malt syrup!

Simple enzyme reaction! The sprouted wheat grass has the malt + enzyme, & the gluintous rice provides the bulk gluten. The maltase enzyme then cracks the glutins into simple sugars which make up the malt syrup! This is the same process basically for malting for beer fermenting! Nice 1!

Also? Yeah, I learned a long time ago that the syrup is formed by the enzymes released from the chopped up wheat grass converts the starch in the rice to basic sugars and strips them out into a liquid. It's like magic.

I tried this recipe and just finished! I'm surprised at the result. Thick, gooey and very yummy! My son calls it "almost honey". The painful part was temperature regulation of the rice/wheat mixture. My oven doesn't go any lower than 170, so I had to heat up to 150-ish and then turn off about every 1/2 hour. Worth it though.. Will definitely do again :-)
