I've got a big bag of soft wheat berries and I'd like to sprout them and use them for various recipes. Now I have a Vita-mix blender, a Cuisanart, and a Champion juicer with no grain grinder but a solid plate. What would be the smartest option to grind up sprouts? thanks (watch out cinnamon rolls-I'm closing in on ya!)

Dehydrate them first and then you can grind the dried, sprouted wheat berries to flour in either your coffee grinder or Vitamix. But you "can" use the Champion and blank screen/plate to homoginize the wheat berries.

I think I left the sprouted wheat berries in the Ex-calibur for too long. They're rather hard. Any advice on whether it's worth the effort to grind 'em up and continue the recipe or re-sprout? thanks.......dreaming of "baked goods"

Oh as long as you're using a coffee grinder or Vitamix you should still be able to grind them.

For future reference, how long should I dehydrate sprouted wheat berries for and at what temp? Or is there a certain texture I should be shooting for? thanks - getting feedback like this is so wonderful, I'm blessed to be part of this forum
