How do you eat rye sprouts?

I just made some rye sprouts. They are small of course.   They sprouted quickly and nicely, unlike the oat groats that I tried.  How do you eat them? Raw? I was wondering if they'll be too chewy, or if their flavor would improve if I cooked them.  

I make pea sprouts and their flavor is way too strong for me unless I cook them just a bit. I've read that they are ok to eat raw, like lentils or mung beans, but I don't like them that way.

I looked on the internet and asked the local permaculture group. I got a reply specifically to my question.  The rye sprouts increase in volume incredibly prolifically! I would suggest that you have a plan for it before sprouting it, because it grows out of control. Yes, the overwhelming majority of uses are in making sprouted grain bread/ Ezekiel bread. I definitely want to try that.  My wife and son are good at making bread. Me, not so much yet.  The sprouted grains were definitely chewable and reasonably tasty raw, but I think of them more as an addition to a meal.  Like adding chopped green leafies to a meal. Similar to how mung bean sprouts are usually used.    I think the flavor improved somewhat after a light cooking.  I'm going to continue to experiment with them. When you make sprouts, you improve the available nutrition. You are turning it into a live vegetable instead of a starch, which I think is a good move.

That was going to be my suggestion, to add to dough for a sprouted loaf.

I eat some kind of bean sprouts as a main part of a meal a couple of times every week.   Cheap, healthy and versatile is a great combination.  I might not end up eating rye sprouts as often as I eat bean sprouts, but I am going to keep experimenting with how to add them to the meals I eat.  They seem to work better than other kinds of grain sprouts.  I personally don't believe that regular wheat is a great food: Too much gluten and breeding for profit.  

I agree, Anne.  Bread may be the biggest way I consume them, but I think I'll use other ways too.

I like to make sprouts during the winter when fresh vegetable are not as easily available.

I like the bean sprouts in chow mein.

My all time favorite are alfalfa sprouts on salads, hamburgers, etc.
