Was having a hard time finding wheat berries, found these and we're good quality would buy again

I sprout the seeds along with oats seeds and make beverage out of them. Sprouting process is terrific!

Yes. For years I baked bread and other things using the store bought bags of nutrient depleted and aging flour.Then I decided to go out on a limb, purchase a grain mill and some grain and see the difference.To everyone who wants to try grinding wheat into flour to make baked goods, you will taste things that you never tasted before. And when you go to the store, and buy a loaf of preprocessed bread, sit down with a slice of it, and a slice of the bread you make from freshly ground wheat . . . . well . . . I hope there is a smile on your face.I am new to grinding my own wheat berries for flour. I have been a bread baker for 45 years. This is a quality product. I looked over everything. All the berries looked good. No stones, bugs, or rotting berries. And the price was good. My advice to anyone who wants to purchase this product in bulk quantities is: purchase airtight containers and both moisture absorbing and oxygen absorbing packets to keep inside. Based on my research. If you do only these 2 things, you will preserve these wheat berries for many years, or perhaps even a decade.And, the flour they produce tastes wonderful. For bread I tend to mix a 50% to 50% ratio of hard white and hard red. Have other grains I ordered, like oats, barley, and rye, and looking forward to experimenting with other recipes in the future.Oh, one other piece of advice. Buy some sieves. Use a 40 for bread and general purpose flour, and a 60 for pastry flour. Just a suggestion.I am totally satisfied.

It’s really high quality stuff, the grains germinates quickly

I’ve been making my own Ezekiel bread and these are one of six grains used. When I soak them for germinating they rinse cleanly without any debris. They taste great. I’m very pleased with this purchase. I will continue buying this brand.

It even gives you a scan tag to tell you where and what farm produced the berries. So far the quality from two different Palouse farms is great. Sprouts easily and is organic. My one complaint is that when the wheat berries are offered you cannot pick the amount you want. On my first order I was asked to choose the amount and I checked three one-lb. bags. The s&h is not so high. But on the second order I could only get bags in minimums of three pounds. This is inconvenient for my needs. We use it to feed our pet birds, and we don't sprout much at a time. Once the large bag is opened (it has a plastic detachable liner) I find it difficult to keep the berries from drying out. We live in FL.

I love the crunch, the extra bit of texture that wheat berries can add to certain foods. They also make a tasty hot cereal on their own--add a touch of margarine and honey; maybe some dried fruit. Yum.As for the wheat berries from Palouse, I am very impressed. (I've been impressed with everything that I've bought from Palouse but that's another review.) While I haven't gone over every berry with a fine tooth comb, I can say that these are the cleanest, tightest whole wheat berries that I've purchased. They cook up like a dream: 2 to 2 1/2 hours in a slow cooker on high.Some people pre-soak the berries before cooking; I do not. I want my berries to maintain a bit of chew.Into the slow cooker:1 cup wheat berries, sorted and rinsed3 to 4 cups water; start with 31 to 2 pinches saltI set my slow cooker at high for 2 hours. I check the berries at about 1 1/2 hours and, if neccessary, I add another cup of water. I check the berries again when the timer goes off. If the berries are not done to my liking, I set the time for another 30 minutes to an hour and add water if it's needed.Once the berries have cooked, I let them cool in the pot. Once they are cool, I package them into re-sealable plastic bags in 1/2 cup servings. I also package one in a 1 cup serving for that breakfast treat.How do I use the wheat berries? I add them to soups, to rice and especially to oatmeal. I like to cook about a week's worth of steel-cut oats at one time in the slow cooker. When I do this, I add 1/2 cup raw wheat berries to 1 1/2 cup steel-cut oats. I start out with 4 cups water and add more as needed, cooking for about 2 to 2 1/2 hours, on high, or 2 1/2 to 3 hours on low.June 9, 2013, Update: I forgot to mention that this wheat makes lovely sprouts.June 11, 2013, Update: This five pound bag of wheat berries fits very nicely in a Snapware MODS Medium Rectangle Storage Container 17 Cups. (No, I don't work for Snapware but it was challenge trying to figure out how to store all of my new goodies without resorting to the bucket with a gamma lid that I use for the 20 lbs of soybeans that I purchase directly from a farm.)

Quick turn around, high-quality quality berries.
