On our small bit of counter space, you will often find various bowls and jars sometimes with odd-looking items floating in them. Today, for instance, in one bowl, I have bread dough, and in another, I have beans soaking. I plan to add to my counter clutter a jar of soaking gains. Sally Fallon in Nourishing Traditions and my friend Jan have long been preaching the health benefits of soaking grains, but somehow I never got around to it. New year, and hopefully, a new habit.
The Nourishing Gourmet has a great post about the benefits of soaking grains along with instructions.Click here to read it.

I may have turned you on to this practice Kara but you will run with it like no one\’s business….try soaking in a mason jar with a screen for easy rinsing + saves counter space.
happy new year kara
Hi Kara. Just wanted to stop by and thank you for that nice comment on my last blog post. I really appreciate it. I’ve always enjoyed your fabulous blog! Best wishes to you, too!
I read her post, and it is a great one… I also practice this method, and make dosai from lentils and brown rice I soak over night and grind into a paste that makes a great power food!
