I love flax seeds plain...but how can I sprout them? I can soak them and eat them surrounded by the goo and I like that too. I just love the taste of flax seeds. But I want to sprout them for optimal nutrition and such...how would I go about doing so?
thank you!

On a chia pet might work, since they're so gooey.

Hey Lunar*Fey -
I soak them for about 8 - 12 hours and then sprout them for a couple of days, rinsing the goo and letting them drain in a colander. I then blend them in the Vita-Mix with raisins. It makes a yummy pudding!Veganman

hmm
Hmm the whole rinsing things is stopping me. I dont have a filter on my kitchen sink, so if I washed them after they soaked, I dont want to ruin them with tap water. Yet washing them with bottled water is a hassle... Hmm I have a filter on my shower... lol

Those brita water pitchers are pretty cheap, I think.

Thanks everyone!!
Veganman,
thank you for the suggestion and recipe! :) So I should keep them in a strainer the entire sprouting time and just keep rinsing? soak 8-12 hours (I thought it was five for some reason for flax?) and then how long should I generally sprout it for? I mean they actually sprout even in the goo?
thank you so much!"Once we have reached our destiny we understand that it is different from the dearest wishes of the beginning, it is much deeper, broader, sometimes greater...either we understand or we sail on, and on, and on."

I might start experimenting with shorter sprouting periods. Sprout for a couple of days - you will begin seeing little tails. Yes, even in the goo.:)Veganman

Veganman,
just wanted to say thanks and you're the best! I started eating the flax whole and didn't feel like I could chew it well enough in the "goo" and I figured the blender wouldn't blend it. But then I remembered your pudding idea. I made a savory "pudding" and it was absolutely delicious! I got my omegas for sure last night
(I used about 2/3 of a cup dry seed before soaking and ate it all)

Veganman,
you're probably thinking I am wayy over-enthusiastic...heh I just really like flax I guess.
Um to tell you the truth I didn't add anything...so I probably should have just said that instead of "savory"..but yes I just blended them up plain and it was really good. I liked the texture and the taste :)
Without you I wouldn't have thought it would work to blend them, so thank you!"Once we have reached our destiny we understand that it is different from the dearest wishes of the beginning, it is much deeper, broader, sometimes greater...either we understand or we sail on, and on, and on."
