• I prefer the crackers with ground, unsoaked seeds. If I use them whole I soak them. They still don’t really break down in the processor though but they should be easier to digest.

• Greenie-Wth the sproutmaster trays,I fill the sink to the rim of the tray and as the water is rising, swish the sprouts around. The sprouts generally sink to the bottom and the hulls rise and float so I just skim the hulls off. I lose a few sprouts …

• I sprout in spurts (OK that’s lame but I couldn’t help it. LOL). I use the sprout master from sproutpeople.com It is a rectangular box with very small holes to drain without losing seed. I usually grow mixes and broccoli. I soak mine overnight and d…

• Have you ever made tahini with the hulls on? Do the hulls change the flavor? I’m pretty sure that my HFS has the unhulled type. If the taste is OK I’ll get these istead to increase their nutritional value.

• I believe consumer supported agriculture is what it stands for. You buy a share at the beginning of the season and then you get fresh produce each week. What you get varies by the season. It spreads the risk a bit for small family farms because nobo…

• I do have a Braun handblender. It made the best soups! I’ll have to try that next time. I was making a bread with a base of sprouted wheat and I should have thrown the dates in while homogenizing the wheat but I forgot and just put them in afterward…

• I haven’t quite figured out that knob (LOL) I left it closed. I homogenized soaked almonds going for almond butter. It worked fine but I will probably try to whip it up (after homogenizing) in my vita-mix next time because although it is crushed wel…

• I have a manual and it shows a picture on 15. The opening goes down and the thicker side goes in first.. Hope this helps. I have the green star 2000 and I just got it before Christmas.

• I have the plain and I made a very good smoothie with a bag of organic frozen strawberries and enough water to make it med. thick. I also used a bit of stevia, but it was pretty good without it. I unfortunately have a sweet tooth!

• Jenny- Your description of the Omega sounds exactly like what I would say about my green star. I agree that the pulp, especially for greens, is much drier than a centifugal. I have only homogenized once and it was sprouted wheat and dates and it did…

• Is it tree nuts that are affecting you? You may get away with seeds like flax or hemp. It will hinder making the gourmet type stuff but I know there are people in this community that don’t eat nuts. That would be a good recipe heading “nut free”
