 t4908752 9 years ago | Hi I want to know if you can make your own bread the SWG method without buying the already ground flour. I want to know how to grind my own flour to make the bread from scratch. |

| Ossie-Sharon 11 years ago | Hi, taylorfamily. SWG products can be found in health-oriented shops and online. Where do you live? Perhaps I can find other sources.
In the meantime, 100% whole grain is great – just check the ingredients to make sure there aren’t any undesirable additives such as hydrogenated fats. |
 taylorfamily 11 years ago | In my stores, I have yet to find anything that has SWG (sprouted whole grain) listed. Where do you find this? Is there a specific brand that I would need to look for? I can find 100% whole wheat. |
| Ossie-Sharon 11 years ago | Hi, Alyah, and welcome! Yes, using fresh foods is a major point of this program, and organic is better yet, especially for animal foods. |
 Alyah 11 years ago | Hi, I am Alyah and I just joined. I really haven’t started yet because I have to buy everything I need. My question is regarding can chicken. I don’t do can so much because of the sodium. Could I use fresh, organic chicken breast instead? |
| Ossie-Sharon 11 years ago | Hi, EBurrell. In general, when in doubt, go for the “100%” because it is a legally-binding term. For the other product, you can also check the label to see what flours are used. In any event, label-checking is always a good idea, to make sure other undesirable ingredients (such as hydrogenated fats) are not in there. |
 EBurrell 11 years ago | I have a question. I went to Whole Foods and found Arrowhead Sprouted Whole Grain flour and the symbol 100% whole grain was on the package. But then I saw another product called One Degree Sprouted Whole Wheat Flour, but I didn’t see the 100% whole grain symbol on the package. I’m confused if they’re both the same or are they different? |
| Ossie-Sharon 11 years ago | Hi, Leumas. Ezekiel sprouted products are excellent. |
 leumas64 11 years ago | Is Ezekiel 4.9 bread okay? Is is made from sprouted grains. |
| Ossie-Sharon 11 years ago | Hi, Mcsskterry. You can do both! SWG products are increasingly available in supermarkets (as well as health-oriented stores), and the flour can be purchased (usually online). Sometimes the grain products are just called “sprouted” – be sure to check that they are also 100% whole grain, and not just made from some refined flour with some SWG thrown in. If you can sprout and grind your own – so much the better. There are no specific guidelines for the ratios beyond those related to your own needs (i.e. gluten-free) or applications (i.e. bread baking). |
 mcsskterry 11 years ago | I am new to this and I am trying to figure out this Sprouted Whole grains thing. Do you buy it? Or do you buy the grains and grind it yourself and make the flour with a mixture of a different grains? If you do it yourself what are the ratios? If you buy it what is it called at the stores usually? |
