Guest guest Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 I am wondering whether it would be okay to eat sprouted wheat once or twice a week. I think my kids would be happier about our raw food diet if they could have wheat every once in a while. Right now, we do the sprouted buckwheat and quinoa, but it is not pasta (okay we do eat soba but he isn't crazy about it) or bread. That is what my son really misses. However, part of the reason we are doing this diet is for healing...my son is on the autistic spectrum and does lots of pacing and handflapping. I was hoping to eat raw 95% of the time. I know being able to have wheat now and again would make him very happy. If he can, would the Essene bread that they sell in the HFS be okay?

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 Not particularly. I have never sprouted wheat. I am under the impression that raw foodists don't like wheat even if it is sprouted. That quinoa, millet, and buckwheat and better. I am just saying that my son misses having a piece of bread every once and a while. I would like to give him some bread on occasion without jeopardizing healing from taking place. I don't know if the Essene bread is okay to buy or if I need to sprout some wheatberries and then grind them and then I would still need to cook them to make bread?

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 My opinion may be tainted by being so new to this lifestyle...but my husband definitely isn't going raw with me, so.....here's how I feel about it. If your child (haha, or husband) has been eating healthier than in the past, that's the important part. Although I would love to see my husband go raw with me, I realize it is going to be a slow process. We still keep his " treats " around for his lunches and for snacks and stuff for him, but when I cook dinner, I make properly combined meals and lots of salads and all of that stuff. Because I haven't forced him to give up his favorite things (like ice cream), he has chosen to eat something else because I'm trying to be healthier. With your kids, the worst thing that could happen is that you cause them to rebel against healthy foods because they feel like they aren't getting what they want- ever! I would let them have bread every once in a while- maybe like on Fridays in their lunches- and make it a special thing, so that they feel like it is a treat. Eventually, I imagine you could kind of phase it out......or it may be one of those things they hold on to. Either way- encouraging your kids to eat healthier is great! Good luck, and take care, Kerri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 Dear Beth, Sprouted wheat turns into wheatgrass, no? Wheatgrass is one of the healthiest foods for us available. Wheatgrass can be turned into a form of bread by first grinding it up, then forming it into little loaves then drying it in the sun. The recipe for it is given in the Essene Gospel of Peace, Book 1. I will quote the text here: " How should we cook our daily bread without fire, Master? " asked some with great astonishment. " Let the angels of God prepare your bread. Moisten your wheat, that the angel of water may enter it. Then set it in the air, that the angel of air also may embrace it. And leave it from morning to evening beneath the sun, that the angel of sunshine may descend upon it. And the blessing of the three angels will soon make the germ of life to sprout in your wheat. Then crush your grain, and make thin wafers, as did your forefathers when they departed out of Egypt, the house of bondage. Put them back again beneath the sun from its appearing, and when it is risen to its highest in the heavens, turn them over on the other side that they be embraced there also by the angel of sunshine, and leave them there until the sun be set. For the angels of water, of air, and of sunshine fed and ripened the wheat in the field, and they, likewise, must prepare also your bread. And the same sun which, with the fire of life, made the wheat to grow and ripen, must cook your bread with the same fire. For the fire of the sun gives life to the wheat, to the bread, and to the body. But the fire of death kills the wheat, the bread, and the body. And the living angels of the living God serve only living men. For God is the God of the living, and not the God of the dead. " I hope this information was helpful to you.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 I feel wheat soaked in water overnight is good. Just grind it, add half portion warm milk, half a table spoon sugar. It is a great dish for the breakfast. Wheat grass juice is considerred to have healing qualities. Have not heard about wheat sprout though. BW Vikas Beth Mouser <mouser4 wrote: Not particularly.

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 Beth I know how you feel I was a huge bread eater in my past life. Little did I know that it was the bread that gave me the bloated feeling after eating it. It took me several months of not eating bread and then eating it to make the connection. Now just remember that what ever kind of bread you get whither it is Essen or Mana or one that you make it will not taste like the fluffy bread of the past. I found a couple that I enjoy in Nadhirrah’s book “In the Seasons Thereof” The raw bread, and the rye bread and my favorite the chipolata bread, I think that is what she calls it.
