Palouse Brand Certified Glyphosate Free Hard White Wheat Berries | 5 lbs

I've been milling my own flour for a couple of years now, and I'm always searching for high-quality, clean wheat berries. I decided to try Palouse Brand because of their commitment to being glyphosate-free and the fact that they're a family farm. I'm so glad I did. Right out of the bag, you can tell these are quality. The berries are clean, uniform, and have a fresh, wholesome smell. They grind into a beautiful, soft, light-colored flour that has been incredible to work with in my sourdough starter and loaves. The flavor it adds is fantastic—slightly sweet, nutty, and so much better than anything store-bought. Plus, the bag has a little code you can scan to see exactly when and where your wheat was harvested. That level of transparency is amazing. This is my new go-to, without a doubt.

I love this wheat! It's really clean, had only a few "black spot" berries. It milled flawlessly and made such delicious bread and pizza crusts! The wheat berries are a great size and look healthy- they should germinate well if you want. They're very versatile, and cooked quite well when used whole. I'll be buying this again soon! I appreciated the durable bag, too.

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 recently started making break at home and my girls love it! Love that it’s glyphosate free.

I love these wheat berries! They are very clean, flavorful and don't upset my stomach. I will be buying more thank you!

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.

Being new to the wheat berry market, I don't have much to compare this to, but the product arrived as described, the berries ground into a perfect flour and the baked items were tasty. Have already reordered.

These wheat berries are very clean and made wonderful pretzels. The hard white is light enough to make pretzels and soft buns. These berries are not as dense as the Khorasan(Kamut) or hard red wheat berries.
