Instructions for Sprouting Quinoa


1-Rinse and rub (to get coating off)

2-oak overnight or for 8-12 hours in glass or stainless steel bowl

3-Drain and rinse

4-Cover and leave at room temperature until the tails are the desired length (half to full length of seed), rinsing morning and night. (they will grow a bit more once in fridge but will slow down a lot.)

5-Rinse and refrigerate for up to five days. To enhance freshness rinse once a day (not essential).

6- Cook if desired- Sprouted quinoa takes just a few minutes. It is cooked once it’ becomes clear.

7- If you wish to eat it raw, once you're in stage two or three of the diet you can use fruit blended up for a topping on the quinoa. Raw buckwheat groats can be sprouted the same way with just a bit more rinsing required. With either of these grains, make a "sunday" by topping with grated, soaked nuts and seeds, organic coconut, fruit (and later foods like raisins are great too.) You can use raw almond milk or your favourite milk alternative as a condiment too.


Both quinoa and buckwheat can also be blended or used whole for porridge or mixed with beans or veggies or seasoning for use as a side dish or blended and used raw in smoothies or as a base for muffins or pancakes instead of flour.

Enjoy!!!
