Soaking grain and flour

[rivervalleymama]

In my venture to transition onto a traditional foods diet, I discovered that I'm sensitive to grain products that aren't soaked.
Soaking grains and even nuts "...neutralize phytic acid and enzyme inhibitors. Vitamin content increases, particularly B vitamins. Tannins, complex sugars, gluten and other difficult-to-digest substances are partially broken down into simpler components that are more readily available for absorption."

Does anyone here do this?

Thanks for the cool info here. I have been meaning to read this for a while. Great info in that article. Does anyone know where I might be able to find a good food grinder? I have looked here and there. Only found them online so far.

Ace is YOUR place Rita. I need to find a kitchen store. The ones near us closed. Concord, Bedford. I'm sure I'll find another. I saw the meat ones at Ace. I found one comparable at Tractor Supply for less $$ though.

You can find some great products and deals online- which seems to be the best place for dehydrators and grain grinders.

They are expensive. I had found some plastic ones for cheap, but I would rather something that lasts a lifetime. ya know. We have family donw in Salem. So next time we are down there I will take a look.
