Sprouted Carob Cookies

Here's another one from my new favorite cookbook, A Celebration of Wellness by James Levin M.D. and Natalie Cederquist. These cookies are made from sprouted wheat, which is easy to do, but takes a couple days. Once the wheat is sprouted, the cookies bake for an hour at a low temperature. This may seem a little time-consuming but the result--a healthy, nutritous yet rich cookie--is worth it. I also find that putting time and care into the food you eat is important and a big part of good nutrition.
Sprouting grains has many benefits, mainly increased nutritional value and makes the grains easier to digest. My first sprouting experience wasn't that great. I made some raw sprouted wheat energy balls. They tasted pretty good, and I ended up eating most of them the same day. I don't know for sure if it was the raw sprouted wheat, but something in that concoction made me ill. So, this time around, baking the cookies sounded like a good idea and I was enticed to try this recipe. So far, I feel fine!
