What’s the trick to this? I have tried to soak them twice and they taste awful. I don’t know if its the groats i bought or what? it’s my first time The last time i tried i soaked for a lil over 24 hours and then dried out and stuck them in the fridge and ate them. NASTY! are they all nasty like that?

    UPDATE: http://www.sproutpeople.com/seed/oats.html

    This link posted is for HULLESS OATS and these are the only ones that will actually sprout. They are grown without hulls, as opposed to regular oats. Oat groats are oats that have been machine hulled which breaks them, and in essence, kills them, so they cannot sprout. I just ordered a bunch of these, can't wait to try them. They are much more tender since they don't have the hull...and require little soaking time. If you use oat groats from the store, they are not alive...you can still use them, but just be aware they probably won't sprout.

    Happy New Year

    Thanks for posting details of this website. I have been looking for something like this for a while. Shipping to the UK is expensive though! If there are any UK raw food retailers reading this, are you able to obtain supplies for us UK raw foodies??
