A Guide to Soaking and Sprouting with Registered Dietitian. 

If you have any plants, you could water them with all of the water you use to rinse seeds.

Used to sprout wheat berries for my whole wheat & honey bread recipe at a bakery I worked at. Delicious & crazy good for you. Came across a store bought seed bread loaded with sprouts & dried fruits as well. Some of the most amazing bread Ive ever had in my life. Dense & sweet & very good for you.

Eating uber healthy for decades; I know about the benefits of sprouting, but haven't started. Very detailed and easy-to-start instructions & I'm rinsing and soaking walnuts, flax, and chia seeds tonight. Thank you vm for the time spent studying and recording this info for us!!!

Excellent resource. Thank you so much for sharing this comprehensive video. Will use it for my patients.

Thank you for explaining this process. ❤️

You’re so intelligent and I haven’t sprouted seeds in years!

This is the best explanation on RU-vid ❤ Thank you!

Excellent and detailed! Great information and seeing it in action is valuable!

Love it love it thanks starting to soak my legumes and nuts more and definitely ready to get into sprouting and dehydrating

Wow! So helpful and versatile advice. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Thank you for this very interesting and thorough explanation.

That lovely giant jar with the blue lid ! I cannot find large jars like it in Australia!

great explanation (and a very inspiring video)-- thank you, I am going to give it a go.

Great video thank you for responding to comments

Thanks so much Amanda I learned a lot!

A lot of really great info, thank you!

This is an excellent video with so much good information. Thank you so much.

Thank you! Great video!

I didn't even know you we're supposed to soak or sprout your nuts and seeds I'm so glad I took the time to do the research love this thank you ❤️

Now I finally got the info on how to make my diffucult life much more easier. I need a jar with legs. Anyway, she is full of energy and looks amazing so I need to follow her diet.

Thank you.. That was awesome

Thanks for sharing, so excited to sprout things and make my own salads in this cold winter. I've already started fenugreek & lentils 😊

YOu have no idea how much this helped me. Thank you so much!

So cool…thank you so much!

Thank you

Thank you!!!

Hi thank you for this video it makes understanding how to sprout easy. 🥰😊🥰

That's another fine mesh you've got me into

Thank You

Awesome!! thank you! 💨💨💞💞🌱🌱

this was super informative, thank you!!!! a closer look at the soaking / fermenting process of flours for nutrient availability would be sweet, and the soaking and sprouting of grains and beans too. Ive been confused on if i need to close lid/warm area ferment beans / grains / nuts to break down nutrients, or if soaking them with either salt / ACV and water overnight is enough. also wondering what the difference between ACV and salt is... and what works best to ferment, and what works best to sprout any insight you have is much appreciated!

Hi and thank you for this great video. Love it, "Relish every bite"😊❤

Nice demo!👍👍

Love your Videos!

Great video my dear! Thank you 👍🏼😘

I watched until the end to make sure you got full credit for my view! I decided against buying this about sixty percent of the way through. Muller's mandolin is the bomb for cooking onions but cutting safety gloves are recommended.

Thanks for sharing.

Thank.you

Great video. Thanks. Other than water that many people already said how to save and reuse for plants, I would suggest using some darker and thicker cloth or even place in paper bag or wrap in aluminum foil to avoid light. That cheesecloth bag is not keeping light out of the seeds 😉

Clearest and cleanest video on the subject I have seen. Thank you so much!

Thank you, Amanda! So many people are teaching sprouting all wrong. Lol! I love your simple nethod. One question: at about 6:40 (?) you state that the "enzymes die off." Do you have a source for that? How long does it take for the enzymes to die off? Thanks again.

❤ thank you ❤

Great presentation and information

Thanks for the great info! Can you sprout in the fridge?

Thank you. I'm growing food from a garden and also sprouting. Wanting to grow Microgreens also.

Tq . lovely video

Decent amount-very pecise

Hello friend, I came to your video already in agreement that I should at least soak my dried grains, nuts, seeds, and legumes but I don't understand sprouting them then drying them. I worry their nutrition would be lost by drying them. Thanks for this video.

Great breakdown !! Wish the blue plastic was metal.

soooo informative, thank you and you are lovely!!

I want to sprout anything that will sprout. I want to do this for my chickens (4) ...lol, during the winter months. They are free range, and I'm sure they miss their greens. Thank you.

Suprised you didn’t discuss adding apple cider vinegar to the water soak to draw out more physlic acid

Great way to explain this!!! Do you have a link for the sprouting lids? Thx

great sharing

Thank you! Super informative and well explained! I have 2 questions: 1. Can the water you soak and rinse in cold water, like 1°C- 3 °C? Or does that ruin them or just prolong the process? 2. Can I consume most of these after they are sprouted? Or do I have to cook them? If not all, which ones do I have to cook? Thank you!!

Hi! May I know what is the name of the lid or the mason jar? Do you have the link for your Maison jar with the mesh lid for sprouting?

I feed completely raw to my dogs. I started years ago and began feeding sprouts to them as well. I feed 10% of their raw food as sprouts. Who is a dog guru in sprouting? I have many questions and need a canine sprout guru. Lol Great video!

Where did you buy that blue lid jar you used?

Ok so after you sprout can you quickly freeze them for meals in advance? Should you worry about bacteria? I've heard sprouts are notorious for getting bacteria in them.

Thanks..question if I need to save or reuse rinse water will drinking it hurt me. Should I boil it first? Thanks

Wonderful fresh and concise just like a sprout!😊

It's been proven the seeds don't have to be in a dark place they sprout just as quickly in the light!

Is there a reason to sprout in a dark? I always sprouted my broccoli seeds in a light.

Hi thank you so much for the breakdown of this, it’s a lot of information. Question: why do you dehydrate for example the lentils? Is it to extend the shelf life?

I buy sprouted rolled oats. I'm trying to figure out if I still need to rinse and soak them if they're already sprouted?

Hi! I've been searching the internet looking to buy bulk seeds and beans for sprouting and I can only find a little bags with a few ounces. May I ask where do you get your seed/nuts in bulk?

How long do you dehydrate walnuts ?

How long should I load sesame n does sunflower seeds take same amount to soak as pumpkin seeds prepared for dehydration?

Do you soak the seeds and nuts on the counter or in the refrigerator?

A sprouting jars are working great thank you for the information. Even started growing microgreens. Whole grain rice really turns out much better with a soak and a germinate before cooking. The only thing I'm a little confused about is the nuts. I'm not really sure if almonds walnuts and peanuts are already dried or baked before we get them at the store. And if so they wouldn't germinate.

What about chia seeds and flax? The water gets jelly consistency do I throw out the water and then add new water?

What are the seeds that we can sprout and safe to eat raw or cooked? Is it okay to sprout pinto beans, black beans, white beans and lentils ?

Hi thanks f the info can u please tell me if I can cook the sprouts don't really like raw I'm diabetic ❤

Does soaking overnight make Brazilian nuts soft? I want to mix Brazilian nuts with Cottage Cheese but my nut grinder just broke. Which turns out to be good thing, otherwise I wouldn't get to know why soaking is necessary.

Gosh. For a second, I was confused as to whether this was pretense or reality. I knew it was real when I saw you do it, but I still can't be certain if they are real mung beans or pretend ones. One thing I never doubted though, you are a real woman, as am I. I got a nice laugh out of this video. A much needed one. Seems we need to be on guard lest we lose touch with reality with all that is being said and done in our world. Thanks for the video.

I’ve had problems with mold growth on my sprouts which has turned me off from sprouting. Any suggestions for that?

What happens if you left jar on window and didn't put it in s dark location. Why is a dark location needed?

I've been searching everywhere but i can't find an answer. Will soaking remove water soluble vitamins like B vitamins? If so is there any other way to remove the antinutrients while not removing the vitamins?

So if you were stranded on a island and the sprout packages also survived all one could Eat for life would you live and survive ?? including all the things you need to grow them also was there for you . ??

Very cool

Why is the initial rinse step done? Isn't the follow-up rinses enough?

How long can I soak the flaxseed?

Hi, great video! How does it work if you want to make chia pudding if you have to soak the seeds?

Hi, great video! I used to sprout in a tray until I came across sprouting jars and get myself a set. I started off with mung beans and watercress. First one was a success , but the latter I have issues with, because of how gelatinous wAtercress becomes after soaking. Have you even done it that way? It’s been already 3 days they are soaking and I’m about to throw them out. I wonder if you have any tips for that. Also, do you keep your nuts and seeds in the fridge at all times? I was reading somewhere that they should be kept in cold(regardless whether processed in any way or not). Cheers!

Where do you purchase those large jars?

What is the food safety on these?

Can I freeze them for a while before I boil it or boil then freeze

Can you just eat the mung bean sprouts raw? That’s what I’m looking to do is eat raw for salads and different dishes. And do you need a weight to make them thicker?

Good info

Where can you buy the bottles please . Thank you !!!❤️✌🏽🌹😘

3:16 ty i thought i was loosing it😂

Where do you get Yr seeds and nuts frm as mine don't sprout think they are GM but not sure, theses days unless you buy well most thing don't sprout, can you please help. Thanks. All the very best frm England

you can de hydrate in the fridge.

I wonder do I need to soak and rinse chia seed and hempseed as well? Also,

About soaking …. I Saw in other sites that salt, baking soda, lemon or even apple cider vinegar Can be added for better soaking…. Your advice on this please

old stale beans etc. don't sprout very well?

I live in Washington State where the state flower is mold and mildew. Any issues with these beauties or does the twice daily rinse with that tap water (mine is chlorinated, not chloramine) prevent this from happening?

I was curious whether there is a list of seeds somewhere which indicates which seeds must be cooked or not and whether you need to "shell" them or not after sprouting ? I ask because I got pretty confused when I saw some videos of people using sprouted millet when previously I had found information indicating that millet must be hulled before consumption as the hull is not edible and as far as I understand you can't sprout a seed unless it is whole i.e. sprouted millet is with hull.

You don’t need to sprout them in a dark place, I have been sprouting for years in the light.

The issue of boiling makes me really confused.
