How do you know your wheat sprouts are ready?

[Jodi]

I'm working on sprouting some wheat berries so I can try and make my first loaf of bread. They've been sprouting for almost two days now and have about a quarter inch sprout on them. I guess they just don't look like how I envisioned them to look. I think I thought they would be greener, but the shoots are white.

Is this how they are suppose to look prior to being made into bread? I got my Excalibur the other day and am anxious to make some.

YEP, 1/4 inch long little white tails, YOU DID IT!!

You have sprouted wheat, they sound perfect.

Woo Hoo! Thanks, RW....later this afternoon I'm going to try and make my first loaf of bread. I did rinse them this morning, so I know they now have to sit about 6 hours. My dehydrator will be busy as I'm soaking some flax seeds for crackers as well!

I think I'm going to like this dehydrator!

Jodi,

Taste them, they should have a pleasant, sweet flavor.
