Live Kashi without cooking Bashny.Net

When I lived in a city apartment and thought about life on the estate, looking for an alternative to urban benefits, I called for the question on how to cook plain porridge (buckwheat, wheat, oat, barley, etc.), while not using fire or electricity, that is, to do without cooking?





Immediately I remembered how my aunt had filled with water and beans and left it like that overnight in the morning boil the soup quickly (over night beans were swollen due to which it do not need long to cook). I had the idea to do the same with cereals. What was my surprise, when soaked in this way the buckwheat was absolutely ready to eat, did not want her to cook!

I must say that the taste I don't quite like (I usually added to the porridge, salt and butter), but there was a reason – a habit. Later going on a raw food diet and giving up salt and sugar, I appreciated the superiority of cereals, as was the bright taste of each product. Also eating buckwheat porridge with salt and butter, we taste the latter, but not the buckwheat.

After experimenting with steeping various herbs, I made a time table, the minimum required for cooking specific cereals (minimum time of soaking in cold water:

• Buckwheat — 1 hour
• Wheat — 30 hours
• Rye — 12 hours
• Oats — 4 hours
• Barley — 2 hours
• Fig — 70 hours
• Rye, oats, wheat flakes — 5-10 minutes

As you can see, rice is the most trudnozazivate. Interestingly, soaked rice cleans the teeth (removes plaque), and boiled – contaminate them (forms a patina).

Want to expand a little on the wrist. The buckwheat, which You buy in the store (brown color) is FRIED! Ordinary buckwheat seeds and remove the outer (black) shell mechanical method, and then purified buckwheat has a greenish color and the taste has nothing to do with the store. Now imagine – You buy roasted buckwheat, then cook it (and, most likely, more than once, because the time still warm), You use double-killed buckwheat!

Soaked grains are alive (they can grow), they will give You all the nutrients without loss, and welded to boast of it can't – heat treatment kills them and reduces the content of useful substances.

The above sign is correct only when the air temperature is not below +1°C, because under natural winter conditions at the time of soaking water simply freezes – this is another reason for thinking about food is in the estate, do I need to eat cereal in the winter... But that's another story.
