Rejuvelac
Rejuvelac is a pre-digested food — the proteins are broken down into amino acids, the carbohydrates into simple sugars (dextrines and saccharines). These nutrients are readily assimilated by your body with little expenditure of energy.
Rejuvelac is extremely rich in eight of the B vitamins, as well as Vitamin E and K.
Rejuvelac has a pleasant, thirst-quenching taste. Drink as much as you like in between meals to flush the system out and help cleanse the intestinal tract.
How to Make It
For approximately 3 cups, you’ll need:
- 1 cup organic whole grains (organic wheat berries, millet, rye, brown rice, barley, etc.)
- 3 cups pure water (preferably distilled)
- a container, e.g., a wide-mouthed glass jar, a ceramic or stainless steel bowl
- Soak the grains in the water for 48 hours. (You can place a plate or towel over the top of the jar or bowl.)
- After 48 hours, pour off the rejuvelac. Drink for that day or store in a jar. It doesn’t have to be refrigerated, but if it is, it will keep several days.
- Pour another 2 cups water over the grains. Allow to ferment only 24 hours before pouring off.
- Repeat another 24 hour cycle, so that the grains are soaked a total of 3 times.
A dark quiet place is ideal for setting your jar or bowl. The temperature of the fermenting environment is important. Warmer temperatures will shorten fermenting times. In the summer, try soaking the seed 36 hours to start, then 16 hours instead of 24. Let ferment to your taste. It should be tart, not sour.
