About Grains

Spelt

Another of the "ancient" super grains, spelt has been reintroduced with resounding success.  Use it in bread recipes in place of wheat for slightly nuttier flavor.

 

Amaranth

This petite golden grain is moving quickly from the "unusual" grain catagory to one of mainstream acceptance.  A main stay in the diet of the Aztecs, amaranth was considered a strength-giving food, probably due to its high protein profile.  Both the grain and it's flower offer a distinct flavor when added to your favorite bread recipes.

Oats

Rolled oats and Oat flour are welcome additions to  almost any bread recipe.  Their delicately light texture and flavor embody the pleasures of home baked goodness.  Grind your own oat flour by choppping oat flakes in the blender until they reach the desired consistancy. 

Kamut

This "ancient" wheat grain is available as a whole grain, rolled grain, flour, and cereal.  People who are wheat sensative have reported a tolerance to kamut products, though this is still being investigated.

 

 

 Buckwheat

Did you know !!!! that buckwheat technically is not a  grain, buckwheat is really the fruit of a plant related to rhubarb.  It's flower,( ground buckwheat seed) and groats are both useful for unique bread baking.  The flavor has been described as a combination of rosemary and green tea
