• a kitchen strainer
• Grains of any type of cereal

sequence

The germination process is divided into three parts:

• Soak the seeds (2-12 hours depending on the type of grain)
• Germination phase at 18-20 ° C (depending on the desired consistency 1-4 days)
• Wash (twice a day, more often in summer)

proceed

1. Wash the seeds in a bowl of water.
2. Let the seeds stand in the water for a while until the dirt particles float on the surface.
3. Skim off dirt particles.
4. Pour water on.
5. Sieve the grain.
6. Sort out damaged grains.
7. Fill the seeds into the germinating jar.
8. Top up with three times the amount of water.
9. Close the jar well.
10. Store the germ jar in a dark place (alternatively cover with a towel).
11. Leave to soak for 8 to 12 hours, depending on the type of grain.

19. germinated grain to harvest

use

• in muesli
• in the smoothie
• on bread
• in the salad

Storage and shelf life

Grains usually last forever if you keep them tightly sealed in a place protected from light. However, since germinated seeds have come into contact with water, the shelf life is shortened to a few days. It is best to store the grains in the refrigerator. You can safely eat it for four days.
