Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between hard and soft wheat berries?

Hard wheat (red or white) has more protein and gluten, better for bread. Soft wheat has less gluten, better for pastries. Hard red winter wheat berries are most common. All cook similarly.

How do you sprout wheat berries?

Soak wheat berries 8-12 hours, drain, and rinse 2-3 times daily. Sprouts appear in 2-3 days. Sprouted wheat has increased vitamins and enzymes. Use in salads or dehydrate to grind into sprouted flour.
