Guest guest Posted February 6, 2002 Report Share Posted February 6, 2002 Hey, I bought some wheat berries today and I guess I didn't pay much attention to what I was buying because I bought the HARD wheat berries. Apparently these need to be sprouted and cooked for a long time. But how long do I soak them? How much water to how much berries? How long do they take to cook? How do I cook them?? Boy, do I sound dense, but I meant to get the soft wheat berries.... Next time I'll open my eyes when I go shopping! If anybody can help, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! :-) Dolly _______________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 7, 2002 Report Share Posted February 7, 2002 Hmmm, Well perhaps I am dense too...but I am not totally sure what you might mean by " hard " vs. " soft " wheat berries. The ones I buy are just dried wheat berries, in bulk bags, and here is how I cook them: 1 cup berries 3 cups of water Cook approx. 2 hours, or until soft but still chewy (I cover them and simmer them slowly) Yields approx. 2 2/3 cups cooked berries I hope this is what you are looking for. cheryll , " Dunno Nuttin " <peacedabear@h...> wrote: > Hey, > > I bought some wheat berries today and I guess I didn't pay much attention to > what I was buying because I bought the HARD wheat berries.

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2002 Report Share Posted February 7, 2002 Hard vs soft are two different types of wheat. See below sites for more info... http://www.vegweb.com/glossary/janan376.shtml http://www.epicurious.com/run/fooddictionary/browse?entry_id=10790 If you can't click into them, just go to www.vegweb.com, click to their glossary and look up hard wheat flour. Or, go to www.epicurious.com and look up wheat. Rose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
