Comments on: Soaking Those Grains…What is THAT about? http://heavenlyhomemakers.com/soaking-those-grainswhat-is-that-about Sat, 20 Mar 2010 12:08:06 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: sara http://heavenlyhomemakers.com/soaking-those-grainswhat-is-that-about/comment-page-1#comment-28167 sara Tue, 03 Nov 2009 06:30:49 +0000 http://heavenlyhomemakers.com/soaking-those-grainswhat-is-that-about#comment-28167 hi there... i just came across your webpage today and have copied so many recipes! thank you. can't wait to make bagels and pretzels! i just had to jump in (a wee bit late) on this soaking grains discussion because i USED to soak my grains (being a Nourishing Traditions wannabe, myself) until i read this article by a christian lady named Sue Becker. (i will include link below). As much as i like NT and think they are on to some great stuff, i still want my final authority on grains to be the Bible, not Sally Fallon or Weston Price. That being said, read the article and decide for yourself. i'm enjoying the health benefits of baking with my freshly milled, non-soaked grains! http://breadbeckers.com/phytic_acid_friend_or_foe.htm hi there…

Can I do it with raw milk and lemon juice mixed together instead of real butter milk? Thanks! Can I ask a question about soaking grains?

Do you soak the flour after you grind it? (That's what i'm understanding from this post) Sorry if you've covered these things before, I just discovered your site in the last week. Thanks, because it is a perfect reference and it seems you have some awesome recipes i can't wait to try! Hey, I just read this post about soaking grains… do you grind your own grains?

If I were to soak the whole wheat flour overnight what would I soak it in? Buttermilk? Also, if I am soaking things in buttermilk, is it alright if it's buttermilk I've made with milk and vinegar?

I've learned so much since subscribing to this blog! I do have a question about this post, though. I have been making my own loaf bread recently, which uses half whole wheat flour. Is there anything I should be doing to soak the flour for this type of bread? It isn't "sourdough" bread - it's just a regular loaf bread. I want to make sure it's as nutritious as possible for my family! Thank you so much! Blessings to you, Betsy Hi Laura,

The majority of recipes on my site are "soaked" because I appreciate the health benefits and the taste. ;-) I think that it's very true, that many people can be overwhelmed with thinking of changing to whole wheat, AND soaking their grains. I appreciate that you make things accessible. The only draw back would be if somebody tries to add in whole grains and it really bothers them. I know that some people can deal fine with the phytic acid, and others can really have issues with it. In that case, it would be better to just go straight to the soaking process, otherwise they would get discouraged and it probably wouldn't be that great for them anyways to eat the unsoaked. In reality, I find that some of things I have made "soaked" are not quite what I want, but other ones taste ten times better soaked! :-) Blessings! Great Post, Laura.
