If you low heat them under around 118 degrees F for a long time you can get them “cooked” without destroying the enzymes.

You’d have to dry them and grind them and everything afterward, but yes you could totally do that. =)

I’d start with a small batch first to test it out, before jumping into a bulk operation. I’d love to hear how it goes!

Could I soak and sprout, for example, my quinoa then dehydrate it and cook it later? That way I can do a huge amount each time?

I just had some sprouted quinoa cooked up for dinner tonight. Cooking it won’t destroy anything, you’ll still get all the benefits of the extra protein and “unlocked” minerals. I do this for ALL my legumes and grains before cooking. =)

Would that destroy the beneficial effects of the sprouting?

This was just the first article I wrote on the subject, so it’s less involved. But the idea is just the same. Different grains/legumes require different soak times and will take more or less time to sprout. I really recommend http://www.sproutpeople.com – tons of great (and free!) information about individual foods. I have a batch of sprouted quinoa in my fridge right now. =)

i was wondering how this method of sprouting compares with the other one you posted on soaking the seeds in water & an acid? i buy sprouts all the time & love them but never knew how to do my own! i cant wait to get started! i have a bunch of quinoa im going to try it out with!
