You can purchase wheat for sprouting, too!   - submitted by Nancy S                                 Print Recipe Method Soak wheat in water for 8 to 12 hours.  Get a mayonnaise jar or mason jar, put drained and rinsed wheat in it, cover lid with nylon net or part of an old stocking, secure with a rubber band.  Twice a day, rinse (cover with cool water, swirl around, dump out). In 2 to 3 days, a small sprout will appear.  Refrigerate at this point.  Can eat raw, in salads, on sandwiches, or alone, or cook about 5 minutes, use in bread, or cook and eat plain or with rice.  Has a slightly sweet, nutty flavor.      Thanks for the tip, Nancy!
