I’ve been concerned about glyphosate in the US food supply for some time, and I’ve been wanted to make whole grain sourdough with US-grown wheat. This fit those parameters. The wheat arrived quickly, and was reasonably priced.mThe grains were very clean; they store well (Read instructions) and I was able to grind the grains just using with my nutribullet. This method made a course, textured flour so use a proper grain mill to get finer results. We loved the texture!It took a few minutes but I came away with delightful course flour to mix 1/2 and 1/2 with organic barley flour, olive oil, gray salt, yeast and water.Pro tip: mix the whole grain flour into your boule overnight in the fridge to soften.The flavor and texture of the flour we made is simply delightful. It tasted good as dough; it tasted amazing baked. My family agrees. It made light bread that sat much easier on our stomachs, especially with dough that’s been fermented 48 hours.I will be using this for some time and will order again, and will try some of their other grains.

Great quality and flavor. Didn’t get a photo but my sandwich bread tastes so good and comes out so tender.

Great, clean berries! Taste great and mill easily with no worry about anything in them that will damage my mill.

I ordered these when I first decided to get into milling, and they’re excellent for beginners. The bag is a manageable size, and the wheat berries themselves are very clean with great color and texture.Just note that the shipping cost is built into the price, so it’s not the most economical option long-term. I eventually found a local 50-lb source for less. That said, this is perfect if you want to try milling without committing to a huge bulk purchase — or if convenience is your priority.

I have been regularly purchasing these wheat berries for months and am pretty happy. I have been milling my own flour with a Nutrimill Harvest since Nov 2024 and haven't branched far out yet with my grains, but this one has been a staple so far. It's great for pizza. I haven't had issues with debris, weird smells/tastes, so it works just great for me.Happy to have this on subscription from Amazon and delighted to support a family farm with no glyphosate.

Wheat berries are very hard to find in my small town. Grocery stores in town don't carry them so I used to have to travel 45 mins to Whole Foods to find them so when they would on occasion be out of them it was a waste of time and gas. Im so happy to have found these and will order them regularly. They were perfect! I use them in cold salads or as a substitute for pasta when making pesto. They retain their firmness and “bite” and have a delicious flavor. They cook up wonderfully stivetop or even in my rice cooker. I highly recommend these.

Product: Palouse Hard White Wheat Berries (Organic Non-GMO)Rating: 4.5 of 5 stars (excellent)I bought a 5lb starter sack as part of a 3 grain assortment, to try out my new KIitchenaid grain mill attachment.QUICK WHEAT VARIETY PRIMER: In general, hard wheat varieties, with their higher protein and gluten content, are best suited for leavened breadmaking, whereas soft wheat varieties contain roughly a third less protein and gluten and as a result are better suited for cakes, cookies, batters, flatbreads and egg-based varieties of pasta. Hard red and hard white varieties are nutritionally comparable and similar in all baking characteristics except one - the white variety is essentially a variant of red wheat with a bran layer that is much lower in tannin, resulting in a flour that is lighter in color and milder in flavor. Commercial "all purpose" flour is a finely-ground ultra-sieved blend of soft white and hard white wheat, so fellow home grinders are advised that if you want to approximate AP Flour, you MUST sieve your flours, and soft wheat will probably be your primary base grain (to which you'll add other flours depending on what you're making).LIKES:* Excellent quality grain, low breakage, low moisture. Using my Kitchenaid Grain Mill Attachment, I ran it though once on the coarsest setting, then once on the finest setting, which I sifted with a 40 mesh sieve, and then ran the contents of the sieve through a second time on the finest setting, and once more though the sieve. The final flour yield (after double-fine grinding and sifting with 40 mesh) was about the same as for soft white wheat - roughly 84% by weight of the grain used. The resulting flour made good buttermilk biscuits (albeit a tad denser than for soft white wheat), and the 16% leftovers (mostly bran) I reserved for use in soft oatmeal cookies and hot oatmeal, so there was actually no waste.* I haven't tried sprouting these yet, but I'm assuming they'd perform the same as Palouse's Soft White Wheat Berries, which after an overnight soak sprouted quickly and developed 1/2" tails in a mere 24-36 hrs, so I'm guessing fans of wheat grass will be very pleased. I added mine to a split pea soup.* Grown in the USA.MINOR NITS:* PACKAGING (-1/4 star): The grain arrived in a light burlap sack with a plastic inner liner. There was no zip strip, necessitating the use of a box cutter to open the bag, which resulted in string fragments falling into the grain, which I then had to sift out. When I re-order in bulk, I'll be sure to buy in plastic pails, rather than bags.* DUST (-1/4 star): As with the soft white wheat, I encountered some fine silo dust, which I sifted out along with the string fragments mentioned above before putting the grain in my storage container.BOTTOM LINE:* Excellent hard white wheat berries that are organic, non-gmo and viable for grinding into flour or spouting. For baking, sifting with a 40+ mesh sieve is recommended, particularly if you like a dough that's as soft smooth and refined as possible using home ground flour. For the most economical value, and convenient storage, I recommend buying large plastic pails rather than the small burlap bags.
