Quinoa seeds are coated with saponin, which has a bitter taste, so the seeds are usually rinsed before cooking. Most commercially sold quinoa has already gone through this step. Like many other beans, grains, and seeds, quinoa can also be sprouted. This allows it to be eaten raw (it can also be cooked in this form). To sprout quinoa, soak the seeds for 30 minutes, drain, and then leave damp seeds in a cool dark place for 12 hours (or until you notice little white roots from the seeds). You can sprout them in the refrigerator. Rinse again and eat!

The washed quinoa will have a less bitter taste than the sprouted quinoa.

Wheat germ is completely different from wheat spouts.

The germ is a portion of a grain of wheat that contains protein, oil and other nutrients. It is removed when wheat is milled into white flour.

Wheat sprouts are whole grains of wheat that begin to grow - sprout - when soaked in water, drained, then kept moist in a dark place. They have tiny roots and stems with leaf buds.

Can a bread be made without wheat that doesn't have that awful smell wheatless flour has?

If you are using sprouted wheat berries, which have had three days or more to begin sprouting ( look for the small white tails of the wheat sprout starting to emerge ) then grind these finely and bake immediately, you should not have a fermentation problem. Strictly and traditionally, flourless or sprouted bread is yeast-free, possibly unleavened at all. This "cooking" process is described in the bible, by the way. Or check "The Essene Gospel of Peace" E.B. Sczekely At the time you be the judge that the wheat sprouts are ready; they are shaped into loaves and low-heat baked ( I recommend 200 deg. F. or less ) to preserve self-digestion enzymes. Or you may place the wafers in strong sun, or a solar oven, not to be overbaked. Which is why the berries are sprouted in the first place. Phytates in the whole wheat, must be broken down by sprout formation, in order that the bread be more readily digested by humans.
