Farmer Bob's USDA Organic Soft White Wheat Berries - Non-GMO, Pastry Flour
Farmer Bob's Organic Soft White Wheat Berries are whole, unmilled soft white wheat berries, certified USDA Organic and Non-GMO, sold in resealable 1, 2 and 5 lb bags.
Soft white is the pastry wheat. It is lower in protein than hard wheat, light in color and mild, slightly sweet in flavor. Milled at home it becomes fresh whole wheat pastry flour for cookies, pancakes, waffles, muffins, biscuits, cakes, quick breads and pie crust, with a tender crumb that hard wheat cannot give. One 5 lb bag mills into about 18 cups of fresh flour.
These organic wheat berries are also good to eat whole. Rinse, then simmer 1 cup of wheat berries in 3 cups of water for 45 to 60 minutes until tender. Use them in grain bowls, salads, soups and pilaf, or as a hot breakfast cereal. They can also be sprouted.
Baking yeast bread instead? Farmer Bob's Organic Hard Red Wheat Berries are the higher-protein bread wheat for sandwich loaves and sourdough. Many home millers keep both on the shelf, and blend the two for a softer loaf.
