We are just learning ourselves but you need a grinder and then you grind them into flour. We bought the hard white this time that is good for breads, rolls, etc. There are other varieties.

Like this, kept in a sealed food storage bucket supposedly they will last 20 years or so. But once you grind them into flour, they are only good for a week or two because the oils released can go rancid.

There is a book called “The Amazing Wheat Book” by LeArta Moulton. Really vital for those who want to store and use wheat berries. Remember that another thing you need is a good grain mill for grinding the berries, with both cracking augers and grinding augers.

Thanks for introducing this set of topics to FR. And yes, I lost all my firearms and ammo in a boating accident in the desert. Tragic story.

As I understand it you should start out with a mixture of whole wheat mixed with rice flour. Evidently there is a greater amount of fiber in the whole wheat berries that can cause... well, you know. Wheat berries can also be soaked in a crock pot over night for a whole 'nuther realm of uses as well.
