Guest guest Posted February 25, 2003 Report Share Posted February 25, 2003 Rejuvelac is the accidental discovery of Ann Wigmore, and is a great way to get enzymes, friendly bacteria, vitamins and minerals. It is basically fermented sprouts, and is very easy to make. Many grains will work, but soft white wheatberries work best and taste best. Sprout a cup of wheatberries for 3 days (soak the berries for 8-10 hours, rinse, then rinse 3-4 times a day for 3 days), then grind them up in a blender for about 10 seconds (some folks don't grind them up, but I find it easier for the sprouts to ferment when they are cut up). Put that pulp in a half-gallon jar and fill it up with water (some people use less water to make it stronger). Leave the top open, set it out in room temperature for 3-4 days and stir it 4-5 times a day. When it's done it will taste a bit tart like lemonaide or sometimes more like sauerkraut. Ferment to taste, tart not sour. Fermentation is faster in warmer weather. You can add raisins or figs to make it sweeter, tasting more like wine. You may not like it at first as it is rather strange tasting, but keep trying it and it will grow on you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
