I also have an indoor farm!

Below are photos of wheat berries and cashew soaking.

I use the wheat berries to make the Rejuvelac, which is a fermented drink with is rich in lacto bacteria. But not made from milk. You sprout the wheat berries and then soak them in water. "The soaked water becomes an enzymatically alive liquid that is rich in the beneficial bacteria lactobacillus" (Calabrese).


I'm soaking the cashews to make a Berry-Flax Parfait, one of Karyn's healthful desserts.

Why Soak Your Nuts? - "When nuts are soaked in water for a few hours, an enzyme inhibitor is broken down, allowing the nutrients in the nuts to be more easily digested and absorbed" (Calabrese).

    1. "Raw Foodie" lol. She has more than one restaurant. I believe one is cooked and one is raw. Don't underestimate the raw food recipes out there lol.
