Happibun's Organic Wheat
Triticum spp.

This just romped away!

By the time I harvested it, the leaf blades had grown too tough, it was a bit like eating grass. Also the roots tangle around each other so much that it is impossible to tease them apart in the jar. as a result of that I had to eat the sprouts all in one go.

I cut off the green shoots and kept the grain and roots because they were not so tough.

The taste is somewhat strange, there is definitely a hint of bread or grain in it, but green-ness also. It is a very mild flavour.

Next time I will harvest this much sooner. Before any green shows in the shoots will probably be ideal.

I bought a bag of organic wheat grain from the local health food shop.

Given my previous bad luck with grains in the sprouter, I was going to make sure that the seed was viable, and I guessed that this would be the way to do it.

I was intrigued to see what the sprouts tasted of.
