Let us know how it goes, several here are still in the learning stages and all of us can do with a refresher course.

I'm learning myself - and will check back here for advice, I'm sure!

I'm doing the grinding grains bit for a survival thing more than a health thing. But, if we get both, even better! Wheat berries will last almost indefinitely, so they are big part of what I'm storing. And of course, I need to test the process so I'm not in over my head when I need to use it all.

You will be surprised at how many uses those wheat berries have, I didn’t know, until I hit a hard patch and lived a few months on a friends discarded, out of date cans of dehydrated foods.

I like the wheat berries, cooked and eaten like rice or oatmeal.

I also made a salad with them, as I do a macaroni or potato salad.

I would use them as one does barley, or in any soup for a more filling soup.

I did not try frying them in bacon drippings, with celery and onion, might be good and should be good with stir fry on it.
