Kathryn The site was easy, but then i wasn't able to load the avatar because it was too large (storage wise)? So I went back to the host site as the instructions in the introduction page of this forum said and had my picture re-hosted . . . and it worked. In regards to your quinoa question, i just put about 1 teaspoon of cinnamon on it, and 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk (pre-made in the aceptic package . . .i haven't made my own nut milks yet . . .any suggestions are welcome) and then ate it. It was very crunchy as i dehydrated it overnight . . . about 8 hours. Not as good as the buck-wheaties though. In regards to the buckwheat sprouting, I soaked i cup of raw buckwheat groats in my glass majon jar with a plastic screen on the top for about 30mins. then i drained it (this is at night). The next morn. i added water, and drained again. That night I added water and drained again (to drain i just put the jar upside down at a tilt into a bowl to collect all the water). By the next morn they are ready to eat, or i can dehydrate them at that point. Hope this helps.

If I sprout . . . I don't cook. But i have been trying to dehydrate some things (like buckwheat and quinoa). I don't know if you consider this cooking or not. I use the mr. coffee dehydrator. Does that answer the question. P.S. I just sprouted millet for the first time . . . I LIKE IT!!! What else can grow tales???

I'm not sure how to make my avatar smaller . . . for the time being . . .i'll let it go. Next time I will try and rinse the quinoa more. I only washed it a little bit. I'll see what happens. Thanks:) In regards to the amaranth veganpotter . . . i'm not sure if it really sprouted. It got softer . . . i couldn't see much of any tales . . . i soaked it for about 4 hours, then drained it . . . 8 hours later rinsed . . . 8 hours later i ate it. I enjoyed. But i really enjoyed the buck-wheaties that i just made. I sprouted the buckwheat just a bit. Then dehydrated it overnight (about 8 hours). In the morning i put some cinnamon (my fav!!!!) on it and some almond milk. It was just like eating cold cereal as a kid again. Quick question. Can you sprout fennel seeds? If so . . . how long . . . and are they good?

Sounds good, I'll give it a try. I as well am trying to avoid the wheat, so i'll pass on the wheat berries. Like i said, i love the buckwheat, and I'm trying to sprout amaranth as we speak. I'll try millet later in the week as well. I'm digging this sprouting thing.

so i've been sprouting quinoa this past week. It works like a charm. But it taste pretty bland. Are there any good mixtures that people like to do with sprouted quinoa. I've really liked doing soymilk or almond milk, sprouted buckwheat groats, and fruit . . . but the quinoa doesn't respond as well. I can eat the sprouted buckwheat by the spponful no prob, but the quinoa . . . Any suggestions or just suck it up?

Thanks everyone!! You folks are quick to greet . . . me gusta mucho

Hey everyone. My name is Kurt. I'm 20 years old. I gave up red meat and pork 2 new years ago. Then, this past new year i gave up poultry. And a little over 1 month ago I cut out the rest of the animal products (fish, eggs. dairy . . . ) VEGAN. I'm very active. In high-school I wrestled, ran cross country and played ultimate frisbee. I'm going into my junior year of college. I'm captain of the ultimate team at my college. I also now play in a CT summer leauge. I love lifting weights. I'm a smaller guy (5'7" and about 130lbs). I also enjoy roller blading, hiking, and just being outside. This site is a blast to read through. It's great to know that there are so many other people out there that are in the same boat (eating clean and being fit). I hope you guys and gals can teach me some neat things as I'm still new to this vegan thing.
