[Guest guest]

Thanks Caroline,

maybe i missed his post.. was thinking of the wheat grass i guess when i wrote that.... if i grow my own wheat grass... how much to make the juice... i understand the sprouts shouldn't be juiced.... but still how much would i need say for a weeks worth of food??Caroline <ladyguinevere@...> wrote:

I thought Don suggested NOT juicing sprouts...or did I read this incorrectly?Caroline

I am gonna ask this again.. maybe you didnt understand what I was asking...When I start sprouting... how much would I need..? How do you judge how much is needed for a drink?? How should I judge how much to sprout at one time.. of any one particular seed or whatever??

============================

My original post dealt mainly with buckwheat sprouts and why they are

toxic when juiced. However, it also applies to most any sprout. Wheat

grass is a different story though as the wheat is now a 7 to 10 inch

tall plant that you then cut and juice. Sprouts, on the other hand, are

very small and just beginning to become plants. It takes a lot of

sprouts to get much juice. So when you juice sprouts you will be

consuming much more than if you were to sit down and eat a handful. As

for buckwheat sprouts, well best is to just eat them in moderation. They

contain fagopyrin which in sufficient doseages will make your body

phototoxic. Not a good thing if you enjoy the sun. But I believe this

only applies to buckwheat sprouts.
