3月在朋友圈看到有人做麦芽糖，萌生想法并开始付诸行动，在tb网上采购了所需材料后，就开始了我们的实验。<div><b>Malt sugar: </b>Sweet, sticky and gooey texture with a hint of malty taste in it.</div><div><b>1. Preparation work:</b></div>• wheat grass 麦苗<br>• glutinous rice or corn 糯米或玉米<br><div><b>2. All about wheat</b></div><div><b>(1) What is wheat: </b>a cereal plant that is the most important kind grown in temperate countries, the grain of which is ground to make flour for bread, pasta, pastry, etc.</div> <b>(2) Part of wheat seed</b><div>A grain of wheat is on average between 5-9mm in length and 30-50mg in weight. It consists of three main parts – the endosperm, bran and germ.<b><br></b></div> <b>1) Bran</b><br>The outer layer or the seed covering is called the wheat bran and protects the main part of the kernel.<br>The bran comprises about 15 percent of the seed weight. Bran can be further divided into the pericarp which consists of epidermis, hypodermis, cross layer, tube cells, seed coats, and hyaline layer.<br>Bran is nutritionally rich in protein and is used in the production of brown and wholemeal flours.<div><br></div><div><b>2) Endosperm</b><br>Endosperm is the main part of the seed and it accounts for 80 percent of the seed weight. It is the potential white flour within the centre of the wheat grain.<br>When milled, the endosperm fractures along the cell walls, and separates from the bran layers. It consists of starchy endosperm and endosperm cell.<br>This layer contains the greatest share of protein, carbohydrates, and iron, as well as the major B-vitamins, such as riboflavin, niacin, and thiamine.<br></div><div><br></div><div><b>3) Germ (wheat germ)</b><br>The germ is responsible for germination when planted in soil.<br>It is a rich source of B-complex vitamins, oil, vitamin E and natural plant fat.<br>The wheat germ is the embryo that would eventually develop into the wheat plant. Consequently, it is often used in health foods, such as fortified bread and wholemeal flour.<br></div><div><b>(3) Germination of wheat seeds</b></div> <b>what happens inside the seed</b> <b>3. How to grow wheat grass without Soil</b><div><b>(1) Equipment Required:</b><br>• Tray <br>• Paper<br>• sprinkling can <br></div><div><b>(2) Ingredients Required:</b><br>• Water<br>• Wheatgrass seeds <br></div> <p class="ql-block">某宝直接购买，简单省事</p><p class="ql-block"><b>(3) Method For Growing</b></p><p class="ql-block"><b>Part 1: Sprouting The Seeds</b></p><p class="ql-block">• Buy organic wheatgrass seeds</p><p class="ql-block">• Rinse and drain the wheatgrass seeds before soaking them,</p><p class="ql-block">• Soak the wheatgrass seeds in cool, filtered water for 9-12 hours, </p><p class="ql-block">• Complete 3 soaking cycles to obtain small, white sprouts. </p><p class="ql-block"><b>Part 2: Transfer The Seeds To A Growing Medium</b></p><p class="ql-block">• Spread the soaked wheatgrass seeds over the medium in a thick, even layer,</p><p class="ql-block">• pour some water in the bottom of tray</p><p class="ql-block">• Use wet paper to cover the seeds</p><p class="ql-block">• Moisten the paper with water some times everyday</p><p class="ql-block"><b>Part 3: Caring for The Sprouts</b></p><p class="ql-block">• Place the tray for 1-2 days in a warm, shaded pot,</p><p class="ql-block">• Water the tray to moisten the covering paper,</p><p class="ql-block">• Once the green shoots emerge, transfer the tray to a brightly lit place, </p><p class="ql-block">• Harvest the wheatgrass when they are about 15-18 centimeters tall,</p><p class="ql-block">• Wash and eat your harvested wheatgrass sprouts. </p> <p class="ql-block">开始第一步操作，清洗浸泡小麦，然后放置在生长盘，加纸覆盖，保持纸湿润。</p> <p class="ql-block">生长中，因为天气偏冷，所以长得时间有些长，Eric也不愿意让我早早摘了吃</p> <p class="ql-block">所不能看到的根部，密密麻麻的在努力汲取水中并不多的营养，所以每天换水很重要！终于长足够高了，再不摘就长不了了，Eric拔了几根直接吃了，他说好吃😋，青草味真的那么好吃吗？</p> <p class="ql-block">未完待续…</p>
