Guest guest Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 Anyone here eat oat and/or buckwheat groats? Do they need to be sprouted or would an overnight soak be enough? How do you like to prepare/eat them? Thanks, -Erin http://www.zenpawn.com/vegblog/vegan-done-light.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 I have soaked my oats groats overnight and then cooked them in abit of water -but they were so soft that it seemed that they didn't need to be cooked. I would mix in some blueberries and eat. I think I will sprout them after I finish with my lentils and prepare them the same way -with blueberries As for buckwheat groats I havn't found any except for the kasha which I cook and eat in things such as stuffed cabbage. Thanks for getting me to pull out the groats-it will be interesting to eat them as sprouts in comparison to the porridge I love.

Sounds about what I would do too. You're probably right that oats don't need all that many hours of soaking to be ready to eat. > I think I will sprout them after I finish with my lentils and prepare > them the same way -with blueberries > > As for buckwheat groats I havn't found any except for the kasha which > I cook and eat in things such as stuffed cabbage. > > Thanks for getting me to pull out the groats-it will be interesting to > eat them as sprouts in comparison to the porridge I love. > Em--- Well, I ask because I'm looking to try some of the old favorites without cooking. But, I also don't want to get into sprouting. So, if soaking is enough, cool. Otherwise, I guess they go by the wayside. I have tried just soaking quinoa and it tasted and digested just fine. Turns out it and buckwheat groats are not really grains, after all. -Erin http://www.zenpawn.com/vegblog/vegan-done-light.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 Speaking of groats has anyone tried Seitenbacher's Musli #21 the ingredients are Rolled Oats, Barley Flakes, Raisins, Cashew Kernels, Almonds, Dates, Apricots, Sunflower Kernels, Flax Seeds, Seseme Seeds very yummy it's to be eaten cold with milk (which is a no no for me) yogurt or juice. It makes great cookies also with alittle almond butter and stevia unbaked of course could even add some coccoa powder to it. Then refrigerate also yummy. Food combining is something new to me so I suppose all those ingredients shouldn't be mixed at one meal I don't know...?

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 Erin, Can you tell me exactly what groats are? I know that there are groats in my parrots food. I just have never heard of groats as far as human food. I bought some groats at whole foods. Just about a little more than a handful. Just because I wanted to see what I could do with them. They were only a $1.99 per pound so it was not bad at all. Jeannie your time is the most cherished gift of all, tomorrow is promised to no one.
