Sorry if this has been asked before, but after searching through other's posts, I couldn't find an answer. :)
I soaked some spelt and am trying to sprout it, following Alissa's instructions. This is day 3 and some of them have little, tiny sprout like finger things, almost like a potato when it starts to get the root thing going. It also smells kinda gamey, like bread but could almost be beer like too. Is this normal? I can imagine that the bread/beer like smell is normal, considering it's a grain. However, I can also guess it's fermenting. But the tiny potato sprouts are a bit strange.
Not sure if they are edible.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
