Wheat sprout salad
Description
Perfect for everyday meals. The growing process takes time, but it's not complicated. Sprouted wheat can be eaten when the sprouts reach 1–3 mm in length (use both grains and sprouts). Next, plant the wheat and wait for green shoots to appear. When the sprouts are 5–8 cm tall, they are tender and soft—ideal for adding to various salads (use only the sprouts). If the wheat continues to grow, the sprouts will become denser and tougher, making them unsuitable for salads. Decorate as desired and serve.
