Uses for EDEN Organic Hard Red Spring Wheat:
• Grind into an excellent all purpose flour for making bread, bagels, pizza dough, pretzels, crackers, pancakes, waffles, and a variety of yeasted baked goods such as cinnamon and dinner rolls. It is ideal for making seitan, a nourishing wheat gluten cooked in shoyu soy sauce and water, and dried wheat gluten called 'fu' in Japan
• Wash, soak, and sprout to brighten salads, sandwiches, and home made juices.
• Reset your mill to make cracked wheat for cereal or wheat pilaf.
• Soak and boil with Organic EDEN Aduki Beans or pressure cook with brown rice. When combining with brown rice you must soak the wheat first for 6 to 8 hours, or overnight, then pressure cook or boil so the wheat and rice are tender at the same time.
• Boil or pressure cook whole for a delightful, chewy, completely satisfying, and versatile porridge.
Boiling and Pressure Cooking Directions:
Wash the wheat berries thoroughly, rinse and drain. Place in a bowl with cold water to cover and soak overnight, or for 6 to 8 hours, before cooking to soften. This soaking water may be used to cook the grain. Another method is to patiently dry roast the wheat after washing. Roast it in a heavy or cast iron skillet stirring constantly over a medium flame until the berries are golden brown and release a sweet nutty aroma.
To boil wheat berries put 2 1/4 to 2 1/2 cups of water per cup of wheat, or wheat and aduki beans, and a pinch of EDEN Sea Salt in a heavy pot. If adding aduki beans, do not add salt until the last 10 minutes of cooking. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the flame and simmer for 2 to 3 hours. For porridge add more water and cook longer until creamy. For pressure cooking place the wheat, or wheat and rice, 1 1/2 to 2 cups of water and a pinch of EDEN Sea Salt in the cooker. Secure lid and bring to pressure. Reduce flame to medium-low and cook for an hour and fifteen minutes. Remove from the flame and allow pressure to come down before removing the lid.
