And don't worry about some of the tails falling off. The grains still have increased nutrients due to being sprouted. (But still keep the tails if you can). Hope your bread turns out well!

Thanks for the time you put into this. It is an encouragement me to and a great learning tool. I have read many of the books you suggest and have been learning and taking baby steps to make changes for our family. I don't have many others in my area who have the same interests although I don't waste an opportunities to educate if they arise. I have gained valuable information from your site and will return. I tried to enter the give away, but had some technical difficulties. I was trying to remove my last name, but my computer kept freezing up and I entered it several times. Sorry about that.

That was the first I ever heard that they were bad, but the book is right on in so many other regards, that I am leaning towards trusting what it says about the alfalfa. I have a couple of raw cookbooks, which give many great ideas of what to do with sprouts. I linked to them in my recent post: http://www.keeperofthehome.org/2008/03/resources-for-t.html And sometimes I just experiment, but only now that I've gotten a few ideas from the books.
