Video Transcription

well this is Perry peacock with your wilderness preparedness tip today I want to talk to you a little bit about using wheat out of your storage you know we've all heard about wheat being a very valuable and long term storage food grain fleet we buy it already pre cleaned and and our tea in these plastic buckets and they have pockets in here to help to preserve them and keep it good so let's just talk about one thing that we can do a tweet to utilize the nutrition that's in there something that's very simple okay so what I want to talk to talk about today is is doing sprout wheat sprouts there's whole books written about wheat sprouts you can buy sprouting trays and everything to put them in to sprout them on all that but for years I've done something that's very simple and you can just take like a quart spike jar a quart jar glass jar whatever

take an old peanut butter container whatever anything like that and let me show you what you do with it all right here's what I'm going to do for this size container right here is I'm going to just scoop a cup and about another I don't know about another half a cup so about a cup and a half and I in the jar like this alright so what I like to do is run the water and the tap tell us about as hot as it will get what kind of helps get the the other layer of the week kind of soften up a little bit and just set it on the cupboard and I'm gonna leave it there it all depends on my mood but now probably leave it there for a few hours so tell water cools and then we'll do the next step all right I've let this soak here for a few hours and of course now we started off with the warm water hot water actually so this point I'm just going to and this is just warm water here and just kind of rinsing right now and now that I'm going to do is I'm just going to pour off just going to pour off what it will come off of here that leaves it just kind of damp so now I'm just going to leave it like that and I'm going to just I'm just going to keep this damp just by rinsing every every so often and I'll just leave this lid on just barely just to kind of hold a little moisture okay now it's been overnight and some of the wheat is already starting to sprout just a tiny bit right there and what I do is I'm just going to rinse this and pour out the excess water and that way it just keeps enough keeps enough moisture in here

the stuff doesn't dry out still a little bit

but that's what we do and then just pour out the excess now I just put the lid back on it open all the way tight and I just kind of shake it like that so it'll lay there and we'll just let that go and till it fully sprouts then just just a hair over 24 hours and now you can see this the sprouts and everything of sprouted up real nice so just a little bit over 24 hours and there you've got it a whole bottle full almost a quart that we got out of we put a cup and a half a weed in there so what you want to do at this point is is now to kind of stop that to kind of stop that growing from happening what we want to do is just put this thing in the fridge and then it'll just kind of maintain where it's at and these are great to use on salads I like to just snack on them you can put them in soups or stews or whatever you want but very good wheat sprouts very nutritious there's tons of books on them so very simple to make very cheap or even expensive and you don't have to anything fancy to do it with us an old peanut butter jar so I'm just going to go ahead and put this thing in the fridge now and and we're good to go you
