I have been looking into herbology as a christian. EVERY single youtuber is either into astrology and any other wicca practices I'd like to stay away from. Discovering your channel was truly a blessing. And yes, God is good, all the time.
Thank you and yes, it can be hard to find those that are into herbs without witchcraft and new age nonsense, but the Lord is the one who gave us these plants and created them to keep us in optimal health so I give HIM the glory for these :D
Heidi thank you so much for the video very very very informative I know you are so busy can you still take the time out to teach us things that we all need to learn you’re such a blessing to all of us have a blessed day
Hi Heidi, This is a wonderful instructional video!! I love to sprout my wheat berries (and spelt berries too!!) and then dehydrate them and grind them into flour. It is so nice to have sprouted flour that I make myself and that I don't have to buy at a premium!! Love, Mary
Aloha! Can you prepare your dough without dehydrating? I’d like to be able to soak for 24hrs, rinse, prep dough then let sit again for 24 hours for a no knead artisan bread.
Thank you, rain country for all you do.
Great video! I never thought about soaking my wheat berries.
Fantastic information! Thanks :)
Really like the looks of the mesh colander
Thankyou!! I have heard a lot on this but you filled in a lot of blanks for me!
I really enjoyed your video, thank you for taking the time to share.
This was so clear for me, finally, on sprouting v not. I've been wondering and couldn't figure out out. Thank you!
Hi Heidi, just ordered the strainer from Amazon, thanks for the link. Dehydrating tomatoes on our coal stove right now. You have taught me so much.
Soaking and sprouting grains is definitely good for health! Absolutely useful video.
This was great info, thank you for sharing, blessings
Love it! Going to start getting these berries and making my own. I bought a big package of wheat from Baker Creek...we were getting the ground ready to plant....then our tiller went down😑
Great vid! I'm retiring soon and am going to make my own bread products from here on out. Good content, thanks. And I've bought the suggested items.
Hi Heidi, I was doing research on a manual grain mill, I watched your other video about the country living mill which lead me here. Now, I'm researching soaking and dehydration of grains. I had no idea after all these years, you mentioned the Fido jars in a video, that was awesome, thank you for all your educational videos.
Hey! I think of you every time I use those jars and am still so appreciative of your very generous gift, thank you again! I LOVE those jars!
Another awesome video. Thanks Heidi, God bless!
Wonderful informative video. I use soaked wheat berries as a ground beef replacement in soups etc.
Love that you take a day of rest!
great you are the first to confirm, that soaking is the best , I have done corn and it is the easiest grinding
This video was super helpful for me!! Thank you!!!!! ❤️Lindsay
We have just discovered that my husband is gluten intolerant and I'm diabetic, so we are cutting grains for a while to heal both of our guts. Eventually I'm hoping to soak or sprout and grind my own whole grains as a healthier option. Thankful for you and Stacy.
Wow. Bundle of knowledge. Thank you.
You’d laugh at us urban/suburban dwellers. I’d not even heard of wheat berries before this year. Now, I have white and red and hopefully can freeze/thaw them before I have a weevil outbreak here.
Great timing! I just ordered a grain mill and wheat berries to try make my homeground bread etc. I didn’t even think about soaking!
Heidi do you have videos on bread recipes etc??
Yes, I have a few out there including the one I just did and linked to in this video about the hamburger buns. I use this same basic recipe for all my yeast breads (pizza crust, loaf bread, rolls, breads sticks, et cetera)
Hello Heidi! My raisin and apple vinegars are doing great. But the mint/sage one is still not becoming a vinegar..not sure why. Thanks again for all your great videos! Take Care. XX
Props for recommending the other TH-camrs
Oh, wanted to tell you to I did up another batch of granola cause I ran out. Used your berry granola video to go from...instead of jam, i used pumpkin and pumpkin spice...put some currants and almonds in as well...cant wait to get up at 4am for work and eat now! 😁
Sounds wonderful! I should try that with this year's garden pumpkins
This was an excellent video. I LOVE bread but Have SERIOUSLY reduced my consumption as I don’t have the ability to grind my own yet. The mills are expensive for a good one and my budget is tight. I’m saving to get one but everything in time.
Sorry had to edit cause stupid TH-cam is messing up. Anyway, God willing I’ll have one by next year sometime. Excellent video. Love, hugs and blessings ~The Kid!
Thank you LIsa!
Lisa, i know what you mean!
Time is my other hurdle, soaking does itself pretty much, but drying and grinding....
And ytube messing with us while we type 😊
Lisa Booker I bought a cheaper grinder through amazon the pain is I have to run it through 3 times to get the flour like I want it. Will definitely build up the arms lol it’s hell to be poor but the bread is so worth it.😁
If you have a KitchenAid stand mixer, they make an attachment grain mill for about $100. Also Mockmill makes a mill designed specifically for the Kitchenaid stand mixer for around $200 that actually grinds using stones (not metal burrs like the Kitchenaid brand). Both are a little more economical than the much more expensive grain mills themselves. And if you're just starting out and want to experiment without spending a lot, a good, inexpensive coffee grinder works, although it does take longer. A lot of it comes down to the type of sifter you use as well. Having a nice fine mesh sifter makes a huge difference. Go for an 80 mesh or more to get something close to an all-purpose flour texture. You can add back what's sifted out to get flour with more fiber. This way you can adjust to exactly what you're shooting for.
You must be the Energizer Bunny's Sister! Have you tried the ancient wheat called Einkorn. Oh my! I made pancakes and was totally surprised that it could taste so much better than organic whole wheat. Highly recommend trying Einkorn or Emmer Wheat.
I have been wanting to try it, it is finding it for an affordable price is why I have not yet. I did a look again into Azure Standard, I have yet to order from them because there are no drop points near us and I cannot seem to get one set up here myself (I think they do not want to drive to our remote town), however, I found even with having to pay shipping through UPS, I can get a better price on it through them so I have it in my cart for when I am ready to order
Energizer Bunny's Sister! Good title for this amazing lady! And she even takes time out to answer many of our questions.
WOW thanks for the wealth of information. I want to make bread, so after soaking/sprouting my berries, what is another way to dry them so I can ground them for bread. Thanks
Without watching this whole video again, I do not recall what method I used for drying, the wood stove or the electric dehydrator (I do both depending on the time of the year) but you can also use a cookie sheet and dry in a low heat oven with the door cracked open
Palouse house in Washington sells a variety of whole grains 😁
I buy their split peas and garbanzo beans :D
Hi Heidi, You are so awesome! You answered every question I had before I could ask you. Wheat had started giving me joint pain and it makes my knees hurt. Studying I found the wheat is sprayed with a chemical and then dried into the wheat for the market. You still believe doing your way will help remove the poison? I love bread but I had stopped eating it. If you think I could have a sandwich with the rinsing, and sprouting I will give it a try.
Do t buy sprayed wheat! Your probably talking about glyphosate as the chemical which is some bad stuff! I believe organic does not have this.
That is why I only buy organic wheats, not the ones that have been sprayed. I would not guaranty that soaking will remove the toxins
@@RainCountryHomestead I don't think the toxins go away with soaking.
agreed
Could you dehydrate corn in a Nesco dehydrator prior to grinding? I'd like to make Masa (for making tortillas and taco shells), but the corn must first be soaked in lime to make "nixtamalia" and I don't want to grind it wet in my GrainMaker because the burrs are not stainless. But if I could dehydrate the processed corn, that could work!
So, can corn be dehydrated?
Yes, I am sure you can dry the hominy once it is done so that it can grind up for a good masa harina
So, I don't have a wood stove. I do have an Excalibur. If I have to use my dehydrator, what temperature and for how long would you recommend?
Thanks
Yes, you can use any dehydrator and I have before when I used to soak my grains but did not have a fire going. Since flour is typically baked anyway, I suggest 125°. Length of time will depend on your humidity and your dehydrator. You simply have to keep checking them through the day
I love making fresh bread but carbs really don’t like me so I have cut them out. Would you tell me how you actually sprout the berries?
I currently am only soaking, not sprouting, go check out Mary's Nest youtube channel, she has a video on sprouting the wheat berries
Amazon has the spelt, and hard wheat they send them to me on auto ship
Hi I was wondering ca I use a dehydrator or my oven to dry soak berries ? I don’t have a wood stove.
Ok, weird, I see my reply disappeared again but will likely reappear as youtube has been glitchy like that lately. Just in case it does not, I will repeat myself, yes, you can you a dehydrator, that is what I do in the warmer months when we are not building fires
Heidi, is there a difference that you notice in how the baked goods turn out from the flours ground from soaked grains?
Nope, I noticed no difference so as noted in a reply to your other question, stopped soaking them a few years ago to save time and the extra step that I felt was unnecessary, at least for us
We are used to white bread so what would you suggest for berries that wouldn't shock us right back to white flour 😄 ?
Hard or soft white wheat - they have a very mild flavor, unlike red wheat.
❤
Hi I just received my grinder and Palouse wheat berries red hard and white soft but not ready to grind ( I got impatient so bought all purpose flour 🥴) so don’t want my wheat berries to sit in burlap bag do I oven can these?
Some people do that, I do not. I simply store in mylar bags with bay leaves and place the bag inside a large gamma seal lid bucket
Rain Country ok I will do that thanks
Where do you buy your grains?
I talk about it at timestamp 2:36. I have linked to what I can in the box. I will be shopping for a new place to get my soft white and spelt berries since the brand I like is currently no longer available on Amazon. Thankfully I am well stocked on these so I am not in a hurry
All the time.
Do you soak your wheat berries?
Mr Rain....*eye roll*
😂😂😂@@RainCountryHomestead
Mrs. Rain ... have you been putting a dash of orneriness in Mr. Rain's coffee these last couple
days? ROFL!!!!!!!
@@kathleenzimmerman8227 :D I like livin' on the edge!
@@MrRain-hk4zi ... well, buddy, you're doin' a GREAT JOB! Just watch that next step ... it could be a DOOZY! :-D :-D :-D HAHAHAHAAAA!!!
I don’t see any sprouts
That is because I was only soaking, not sprouting, and I stopped soaking my grains a few years ago as I found the extra step made no difference. Just using organic whole grains has been good enough
Jesus and his diciples most likely did not have gut issues either, since their diets would have been much healthier.
