Substitution Question

[rawcanadagirl]

Hi All,

I was hoping you could help me out again!

I need some sprouted barley for the meatloaf recipe, but I have been totally unsuccessful! I sprout buckwheat, lentils, garbanzo beans, etc with no problem but have never been able to get these to grow :confused:

Anyway, I was wondering what a good substitution would be - the recipe doesn't require too much - maybe I could just add extra nuts or carrots?

Thanks !

That would work. Maybe a little flaxseed meal too, for a binder (not too much as it can be quite dangerous to take in too much of that stuff!)... is your barley greenish? I have found it tends to be more green when its raw.
