I grow barley grass all the time, but I've never done the sprouted barley grains, as in the kind some recipes use for meat loafs, burgers, etc.

I'm wondering what kind of barley I have to buy to do this, also how long to sprout?

For the barley grass I have the really rough barley, with the hard scratchy hull still on it (not right for a loaf or burger). Do I have to find some special hulled barley groat, or by some miracle is the barley they sell at the store raw(pot barley?).

Also do they taste good or are they really gross and I should save my time. I ordered some beautiful looking Kamut groats to sprout, then when I tasted them it was like ewwww.
