Organic, yeah, sprouted, yeah.

So this is turning into a health(ish) food blog which is kinda cool. Found an interesting company recently - Food for Life. They specialize in organic, "sprouted" grains, which is just what it sounds like. They actually sprout the grain just a bit which supposedly releases all these extra nutrients. They have products based on Bible verses, too, which obviously rocks. The Ezekiel 4:9 ("Take also unto thee Wheat, and Barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and Spelt, and put them in one vessel, and make bread of it...") line of cereals (there are breads, too) taste kind of like Grape Nuts, but a little better- the Cinnamon Raisin version does anyway. No sugar, pretty impressive.

Roasted some Guatemala Quiche from La Perla Estate this afternoon. Not a bad first cup (directly after roasting), but roasted a bit uneven and the taste is all over the place in a not-so-complementary way. I'll have to wait and let it sit for awhile before making an official judgment. Pretty positive the Fair Trade Organic Guatemalan from the Roasterie will still be number 1 for Guats in my book.
