Flax Seed Crackers

FLAX SEED CRACKERS

·  14 ounces brown flax seeds

·  14 ounces golden flax seeds

·  9 ounces pine nuts

·  at least 40 ounces of water incase all is needed

Directions

·  place all flax seeds in a clear glass bowl at least 2.5 quarts large

·  add 30 ounces of water
as the seeds absorb most of the water, start to stir every few hours
if it looks like they can absorb more water, add just an ounce or two to cover
if it absorbs it, add a little more
if you add too much water, then the crackers will come out too thin
if you don't add enough water, they will not sprout as fully or produce maximum gel
too much water can leave you with a cracker that is only one seed thick
they should be at least two or three seeds thick
therefore, you want to add just enough water, it takes practice
after adding more water, wait to see how long it takes to be absorbed
if it is absorbed quickly, add more
as it takes longer, you are almost done
if you sprout for too long, it will start fermenting
when you see bubbles forming, you know it is not perfect
make sure it is not too warm at the end of the day
refrigerate it to cool it or it will form bubbles if you wait too long
sprout time is a day and a half to two days
if you don't sprout long enough
the flax seeds will be too hard and not digest well
the secret is adding the right amount of water and sprouting the right time

·  the pine nuts should start to be soaked much later
they only take a few hours, maybe 4
you can start rinsing them after 3 hours
you only have to soak them long enough so that they are plumb and white
taste a few to see when they are ready
if the pine nuts are ready early
drain them, and store between moist towels in the frig
ps- if you have plants, use the sprout water, they like it

·  when the flax seeds and pine nuts are ready, mix them together in a bowl
an excaliber dehydrator may have nine sheets
spoon 3 x 3 or 9 large teaspoons on each sheet
use parchment paper if you don't have the mylar sheets
dehydrate at 80 - 85 degrees Fahrenheit for one day
or until they peel off cleanly and are dry on the under side
