Sprouting converts the starch into a plant and the nutrients come alive and are now in a form the body can absorb. I've noticed a huge difference in my health since I switched from soaking to using sprouted flour from Essential Eating. In my research, they are the only company that tests to assure that their flour is sprouted. Just an FYI.

Then, cover with water until you have about 1 inch more water than the oats. Put in a little coconut oil and dash of salt. I learned this in Kara's class and it worked out great. It took only a few minutes on the stove or a couple in the pressure cooker. I did this with steel cut oats so it may be a little different with rolled oats. It takes a little experimenting at first to get your new ratios down.Shari Goodmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06474703445475943040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400724054706198049.post-440662619950240092010-05-18T09:02:04.085-07:002010-05-18T09:02:04.085-07:00ok shari. if you soak, then doesn't your rati...ok shari. if you soak, then doesn't your ratio of water to oatmeal change? mine was too watery since it had already soaked some water up. do i just add 1/2 the water or did yours not do that?rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05439637855745126891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400724054706198049.post-60719456614700697652010-05-18T07:17:26.843-07:002010-05-18T07:17:26.843-07:00The Organic Acids test can be ordered by Doctors b...The Organic Acids test can be ordered by Doctors but many mainstream Dr.'s don't understand it. Most naturopaths do. You could request it from your Dr.You can also subscribe to the Autism Action Plan website for a nominal monthly fee and you can order the test yourself there. They give you a tutorial to understanding the test results as well. The test measures many things; yeast, bacteria level, neurotransmitter levels, etc. It isn't a definite marker for celiac's but shows that the bacteria levels in certain areas may indicate it. The test costs about $250 and some insurance companies do cover it. I use Dr. Carrie Rittling in Mesa for the tests.

You can use it just like milk in any recipe. Coconut milk is also great to use for variety in cooking.Shari Goodmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06474703445475943040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400724054706198049.post-63397825247873705762010-05-17T21:14:46.523-07:002010-05-17T21:14:46.523-07:00Do you happen to know anything about almond milk? ...Do you happen to know anything about almond milk?
