Mash- The Grains
The next part of the mash is the grains. I think it would be great to get 3 at the store and mix them up and keep them in a container like the beans. You can change out what grains you use each time you buy them. Go to your local organic/whole food store and check out what is in the bulk section. Or if you can find coupons Kashi would work. (my personal opinion).
Here are some recommended grains to use:
- Millet
- Quinoa
- Amaranth
- Whole oats
- Hulless barley
- Spelt or Kamut
- Brown or wild rice
- Buckwheat
Shauna recommends to always use either Quinoa or Amaranth or both. These grains have great nutritional value and both have an unusually complete protein source. They also have high protein, essential amino acids, and vitamins.
I have linked to information about each grain.
Like the beans the grains also need to be soaked for 8 hours before use. Then you can cook by bringing fresh water to a boil and then turning off the heat. You can also sprout them too.
