in reference to ‘rinsing’ after the lemon juice/yogurt, etc…
it is my understanding, that it does not need to be rinsed, because the phytates have not necessarily been ‘removed’, but rather, neutralized…

Sandra,
Always sourdough, for health benefits! Sourdough is much more well-researched. See here: http://www.kitchenstewardship.com/2010/03/05/food-for-thought-health-benefits-of-sourdough/

I was wondering what you would prefer between a soaked whole wheat recipe and a sourdough whole wheat recipe. and also why, of course

Just in case anyone is subscribed to this old soaking grains post, I wanted to let you know that I've reopened the issue with the goal of closing it at KS this Friday. There's also a little Nutrimill grain mill giveaway going on. Last fall we tested our grains, I did a recap post on soaking grains, measured pH, and have a soaked recipe ebook coming out for free in about a month. If you've been away, come on back to the party! :) Katie

Rachel,
I haven’t heard much about supplements, but my husband has Crohn’s, too, so I understand your angst! Sounds like phytase is the key to unlocking all the goodness, so it can’t hurt to supplement in my opinion. There are studies on adding phytase to animal feed, and usually the results are better digested food. I wonder what would happen if you put the phytase supplement into the soak water! See, I am such a science geek! Katie
