Soaking, souring, acid medium, phytic acid…
No doubt, if you’ve been reading anything about whole foods for any amount of time, you’ve probably come across a few of these terms that have left your brain hurting.
I know this subject greatly confused and frustrated me when I was beginning our real food journey.
Perhaps your question is: Why do I need to worry about soaking my grain products?
Or: What is the difference between soaking or souring in the first place?
Or maybe: What the heck are you even talking about??
I am so pleased to offer you a wonderful resource that can answer all of these questions and more.
The Prairie Homestead is thrilled to be a part of the Is Your Flour Wet? ebook. Katie from Kitchen Stewardship has collected wonderful soaked/soured grain recipes from all over the blogosphere and complied them into this very thorough resource.
Many fantastic food bloggers have shared their recipes and tips (and our Soaked Buttermilk Biscuit recipe can be found on page 22!)
Katie has also included tons of info on the whys and hows of soaking grains in the first place. Honestly, I think this is the most valuable part of the ebook, as I hear SO many questions about these topics.
And guess what? I get to offer this book absolutely FREE to readers of The Prairie Homestead!

Oh, NEAT! Thanks for helping to make this available. I’ve been teetering on the edge of trying this (I have a gluten sensitivity,) but hadn’t yet taken the plunge. I bet this will help!

You will have to let me know how it goes if/when you “take the plunge”!
Thank you to both Katie and Jill – super excited!!
Wonderful! I can’t wait to read this…
Hi, just wanted to tell you thank you for the eBook. I downloaded it and I will be reading it later. I will tell you what I think!
So enjoy joining in on the Barn Hops. I am home for the summer so I will really enjoy myself and reading all the links.
Blessings, Linda

So glad you are enjoying the Barn Hops Linda! I love reading through them too- so many great ideas!
And yes, I am definitely curious to see what you think of the ebook!!
awesome! Thank you so much!
Thank you for these great guidelines and explanations. I’ve attempted sprouted grain breads before and, though tasty, they were dense and heavy. These guidelines offer new hope and encouragement!
I also enjoyed a good chuckle while reading the sourdough suggestions. I dove into making my own sourdough this winter/spring and appreciate your comments — sourdough starter is SO much simpler than most directions (purists or snobs?) make it out to be!
Glad you are enjoying the book Julia! Katie did a great job putting it together!
Thanks for offering this! I’m trying to learn more about soaking grains.
Hi, I did not received this e-book in my inbox. Could you send it to me?
I would love to receive the ebook. Thank you!
