Re: Ok to toast/steam sprouted grain bread?
Gary is right - the sprouted bread inthe US commonly available are frozen and probably cooked intensely.
here in australia we have ones baked at low temperatures which are a lot different.
some people find that toasting them balanced the energy and expansiveness and coldness of the sprouts. Some people find steaming more balanced.
I like both!
and sometimes jsut plain.
If you make your own or get one that has not been baked at high temperatures then you may want to consume it without heating to preserve the enzymes and life force.
some people make them in a food dehydrator which you can buy here online.
they are super useful for this and other applications.
some people bake them in the sun but that is a bit trickier.
I think that heating it quickly would not greatly affect the properties and makes it more enjoyable and digestable...
the stomach has to hear everything you eat to digest it and when you consume too many raw things you compromise the vitality and health of the middle burner in chinese medicine which detracts from body energy
Arisal of the Clear by Bob Flaws has a good explaination of this!
