Common wheat (Triticum aestivum), also known as bread wheat, is a cultivated wheat species. About 95% of wheat produced worldwide is common wheat; it is the most widely grown of all crops and the cereal with the highest monetary yield.

Numerous forms of wheat have evolved under human selection. This diversity has led to confusion in the naming of wheats, with names based on both genetic and morphological characteristics. For more information, see the taxonomy of wheat.

What-are-the-causes-of-dry-skin?_0_0

Dry skin is an unpleasant condition characterized by peeling, itching and cracking of the skin. When this largest human organ loses water too quickly, it becomes dry. In other words, dehydration is at the heart of the problem. It is for this reason that every medical person, including dermatologists, always recommend drinking plenty of water to enjoy nourished and healthy skin.&nbsp;

What-are-the-causes-of-dry-skin?_0_1

And why skin dehydrates and becomes dry - it could happen for many reasons. Routinely used products such as cleaning soaps and other face products can remove natural oil from the skin. Prolonged and very hot showers can also make your skin dry. Living in a cold weather with a stronger wind can also be a prerequisite for drying out the skin. It is also possible that in the summer you could also find yourself with dry skin - for example, if you have not hydrated well and have not used sun protection.

What-are-the-causes-of-dry-skin?_0_2

Age, some drugs (statins, diuretics) and diseases can also cause excessive drying of the skin. Some conditions that affect the skin, including atopic dermatitis, ichthyosis, peryoral dermatitis, psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis, can cause excessively dry skin and disrupt its hydration. Diabetes, thyroid disease or kidney disease are&nbsp; other health conditions that can also cause skin problems, such as acne or dehydration, that makes the skin pale.

It is also important to mention that in the first place the skin needs nutrients to be healthy. If you do not get enough vitamin D, vitamin A, niacin, zinc or iron, you can get flabby and dry skin.&nbsp;

What to watch out for

What-to-watch-out-for_8_0

Sprouts are very rich in nutrients. They can be consumed raw or lightly cooked, in salads and sandwiches. Therefore, it is important to wash the seeds as thoroughly as possible, as there is a risk of contamination with bacteria (e.g. E. coli and Salmonella) or parasites, which can make the consumption of raw sprouts dangerous.

What-to-watch-out-for_8_1

When ingesting contaminated sprouts, the first symptoms appear after 12 to 72 hours: diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain.

What-to-watch-out-for_8_2

This can be particularly dangerous for children, immunocompromised people, older people and pregnant women. It is recommended that they avoid consuming raw sprouts or sprouts at all.

How to prepare sprouts at home

How-to-prepare-sprouts-at-home_9_0

You need a large jar, a lid with holes, or gauze and an elastic band, instead of a lid. First, the seeds are soaked in cool water for several hours, depending on their type (most often 8 hours, but sesame and sunflower are soaked for 1 hour only). [<a href="https://wholefully.com/sprouting-101/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ref.3</a>]

How-to-prepare-sprouts-at-home_9_1

Then the water is drained, the seeds are rinsed with fresh cool water, which is also drained away. Drain the seeds well, and the jar can be placed with the lid down and tilted to drain.

How-to-prepare-sprouts-at-home_9_2

This rinsing and draining is repeated twice each day, until the desired length of the sprouts is reached.

How-to-prepare-sprouts-at-home_9_4

It is not needed to put the jar in direct sunlight or in the dark.

How-to-prepare-sprouts-at-home_9_5

When ready, rinse the sprouts one last time and distribute them on a paper tissue to dry. Otherwise, moisture will lead to their moulding. Then the sprouts can be stored for 2-3 days to 1 week in a box, paved with a clean cloth or paper against moisture retention.

How-to-prepare-sprouts-at-home_9_6

If the sprouts develop mold, don't eat them! Discard them and try again.

Q&amp;A

Q&amp;A_10_0

Do I need a special device or a machine to always have fresh sprouts at home?

Q&amp;A_10_1

As we described above, the process of producing sprouts at home is very easy and you do not need a special appliance or machine for this purpose. However, various appliances are available on the market which require compliance with the same steps - soaking the seeds and watering them with water twice a day or according to the indication. These appliances are also called a sprouting machine or system.

Q&amp;A_10_2

Where to buy sprouting seeds from?

Q&amp;A_10_3

You can buy seeds for germination from specialized seed stores, explicitly telling them for what purpose you buy the seeds (for germination and consumption of raw sprouts) or you can simply buy seeds and nuts from the local store (from here you can buy raw sunflower, almonds and much more).

Q&amp;A_10_4

Are there any special jars for germination, or can I use whatever I have?

Q&amp;A_10_5

Although you can safely use the jars available at home, special jars for the production of sprouts are also sold on the market. They have a suitable for draining cap, as well as a special stand to keep the jar in a position for better draining, while allowing proper airing of seeds and sprouts.
