I harvested the rejuvelac over the past couple of days, and it tastes great!
I sprouted 1/2 cup of locally grown organic hard winter wheat in a glass jar sprouter. Once they were sprouted, with tails that were one inch long, I filled the jar with filtered water and left it to sit on the kitchen counter.
After two days I poured off the liquid and saved it in a large jug, which I put into the refrigerator. I re-filled the sprouting jar and poured off the liquid after one day, and then re-filled and poured off after one more day.
The rejuvelac tastes like it should be healthy (not very tasty the first time I tried it), but the flavor grows on you. Knowing what’s in it helped me to
learn to love the taste after a while.
I freeze the sprouts to add them to my next batch of flax crackers.
You can use other grains as well, but I have found the wheat to be the most reliable sprouter and to have the most consistently good flavor. I have also used rye with good results.

Confession: this is one thing I have not tried yet. I know, it’s s’posed to be super duper beneficial, but I’ve heard tell of the taste, and…well, I’m a baby. Guess I’ll just have to buck up and give it a whirl.
