Product Description
Wheat (Teiticum Aestivum) is a well-known, nutritious grain. There's evidence of the use of Wheat as far back as the Neolithic, over 11,000 years ago. It is believed to have helped support large numbers of people, allowing for the rise of urban centers. While Wheat Flour is commonplace, Wheat Berries are not as well-known. Wheat Berries are husked, whole Wheat Kernels surrounded by the bran of the Wheat. This form of hard Red Wheat Berries is the least processed and has the highest gluten content. These are whole grains of Hard Winter Wheat, grown in the coldest parts of the north and northwest U.S. Hard Red Wheat Berries have a high gluten content and absorb liquid well, making it the ideal grain for bread. Soft White Wheat Berries are from the south and midwest areas of the U.S. and have a lower gluten content.
