• Even better than syrup is maple water. Just need your own maple tree to tap into in the spring. Naturally sweet and delicious. Is doesn’t keep though unless you boil it down to syrup. So it can only be enjoyed fresh for a few weeks.

• We just rinse them and then let them soak in lots of water for 24 hours. Then dehydrate them. That’s the way most flax crackers on the market are done. If you want a longer sprout you will need to rince away regularly the gel like substance. It’ll t…

• Hi Majomi, We own and use a Z-Star regularly. We used to have a plated steel one that I did not appreciate. It got lost in the mail when I had a friend mail it to me when I was out of the country and needed it. Looking back, it was no big loss. The…

• I suggest you invest in a good one. The cheap ones don’t last long, the springs stretch over time and you’ll find yourself bouncing off the floor below.

• We rely on sicilian almonds that are not pasteurized. They are available in Canada, don’t know about in the U.S. They also don’t all sprout. I’m sure the hulling process harms some of them.
