Wheat berries—the completely unprocessed whole wheat kernel—fall into the wholesome and healthy category, but this hard white wheat from Palouse Brand is delicious, too. With their golden color and lighter texture, we found these wheat berries soft but chewy, with almost a pop-like sensation and mellow nutty flavor. They make a great breakfast topped with fruit or yogurt, just like a heartier version of oatmeal, and work well in place of rice for pilafs and mixed vegetable salads. The hard white wheat is triple-cleaned, making it ideal for milling yourself into whole wheat flour for a truly DIY baking experience. On top of the pleasant taste of these wheat berries, we especially love that Palouse, a fifth-generation farm in Washington, shares a strong commitment to sustainability and to protecting and enhancing soil, water, wildlife habitat and biodiversity. Even their packaging is environmentally conscious, using a 100% cotton bag printed with water-based, environmentally-friendly ink.
From their farming practices to their packaging and agricultural applications that have greatly reduced soil erosion, the company prides itself on climate awareness and sustainable agriculture.
We test everything we sell. Here’s how we’d use this.
Boil in a large pot of unsalted water until tender, about 45 to 55 minutes. Drain and return to the pot to rest for 10 minutes. Then dress or use like rice in dishes such as pilafs and salads. Or mill the raw whole grains yourself and use as a flour.
