Palouse Brand Certified Glyphosate Residue Free | Hard White Wheat Berries | 18 LBS | Family Farmed in Washington State | 100% Desiccant Free | Sproutable | Non-GMO Project Verified | Kosher

I’ve been very happy with these hard white wheat berries. The flavor is excellent and noticeably better than other bulk wheat I’ve used. When milled on a fine setting, the flour still retains part of the bran and germ, which adds depth and character without being overly coarse or bitter. I’ve used this wheat for both bread and cookies, and it performs well in each application. The bread has a pleasant, slightly sweet wheat flavor and good structure, and the cookies come out with a richer taste than what I get from store-bought whole wheat flour. It strikes a nice balance between flavor and versatility. I also appreciate the transparency of the Palouse Brand — knowing it’s certified glyphosate residue free, non-GMO, and family farmed in Washington gives confidence in the quality. The berries arrived clean, uniform, and well packaged for long-term storage. Overall, this is a high-quality wheat berry that mills beautifully and produces great-tasting flour. I’ll definitely be ordering again.

I’ve been concerned about glyphosate in the US food supply for some time, and I’ve been wanting to make whole grain sourdough with US-grown wheat. This fit those parameters. The wheat arrived quickly, and was reasonably priced. The 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.

Excellent wheat berries make the most amazing bread.It tastes so fresh.It comes in to burlap sack. From USA good price point for the real thing! There's no bugs.The texture is just the hard green berries.It's very clean.The color is beautiful

These grains have been perfect for milling my own flour. They grind beautifully and make the freshest, fluffiest flour for sourdough and sandwich bread. You can really taste the difference compared to store-bought flour. Clean, high quality, and exactly what I was hoping for. I’ll definitely be ordering again.

Perfect for making my sourdough bread and other delicious confections! I keep the berries in a very tightly sealed container and it is ready any time I am.

Clean berries, solid choice. We choose fresh milled flour for the nutrients... I don't plant them so can't speak to germination rate.

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.

Third time ordering these, they are well packed and fresh. It's nice to know that the wheat you use to make bread is organic and free of harmful pesticides. Seeds are clean, grind well, and make delicious bread. Recommended 100%!
