The natural beauty of the area is a constant reminder of the importance of our commitment to organic agriculture. Organic, or sustainable agriculture is more than the avoidance of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. An organic farm strives to protect our environment by building and maintaining healthy soil which, in turn, improves water and air quality. It has been shown that grain and other food crops grown in a healthy soil, resist pests and diseases better than conventionally grown crops and also contain more vital nutrients important to humans. Consuming organic foods promotes the health of individuals and the land on which it was grown. In supporting organic agriculture we promote the cycle of a healthy environment which includes the lives of microorganisms, plants, and humans. Most Great River flour is stone-ground. We believe the natural granite millstones contribute to the quality, taste and nutritional integrity of whole grain flour. Grain flowing into the stones becomes very thin, flat flakes which integrates all parts of the wheat immediately into the flour, allowing the flour to have more flavor. The cooler temperatures that occur during milling with stones allows important enzyme activity to continue. Protein levels are also be maintained. Our stone-ground flours are milled to order, to retain the nutritional value of the flour. Great River is Certified Organic by Quality Assurance International and Kosher approved. Obtaining our certification requires a yearly inspection of our milling facility and records to insure that our products meet industry standards. Review: Wonderful, Well-Cleaned Hard Red Wheat - This is beautiful wheat. It's not even dusty. (The wheat I was using before was HORRID by comparison; I had to sift through it by hand to check for bits of dirt and even small rocks, there were a lot of broken grains, and there were little dead bugs. When I received THIS wheat and opened the bag, there was such a difference that I took that old wheat and threw it out on the lawn!) The grains are pleasingly full, never withered. There are very few broken grains. I found a few stray kernels of a tiny buckwheat-like grain, but those won't hurt anything. NO ROCKS or other non-grain contaminants whatsoever. It is very well cleaned. There were a few un-husked wheat kernels, maybe 1-3 in the nine cups of wheat I put through my mill to make three loaves of bread. It was easy enough to spot them and pick them out by hand, and the ones I miss do no harm. The bread I produced with this wheat, using the same recipes I always do from the excellent "Laurel's Kitchen Bread Book" (ISBN 978-0394537009), was simply outstanding, especially when baked in USA Pans ("8.5 x 4.5 Inch Aluminized Steel Loaf Pan with Americoat"). The wheat is high in gluten and produces high-rising, flavorful loaves. I'm sure the specific flavor and gluten content varies from crop to crop, but I was very satisfied with this particular bag of wheat. I have used ALL of it except for a handful that is sitting in a pickle jar, and am back to order more. **Update January 2014** I ordered the 50-pound bag in December '13, since I had been happy with the 25-pound bag and had gone through it so quickly. I don't know why, but it is not nearly as clean as the wheat in the 25-pound bag was. I picked out maybe 1/8 to 1/4 tsp of hard little dirt chunks (plus one small chunk of either asphalt or rock!) from a six-cup batch of wheat. I miss being able to just give the wheat a quick check and then dump it in the mill. Review: Excellent seed, and I've tried many - I can't speak to baking with this wheat, since I only use it to grow wheatgrass for my chickens and rabbits. But what I can say is that it performs wonderfully, with almost all seeds germinating. I've tried other suppliers with mixed success. This company's seeds always seem to be better than others. They are very clean too. I've had some others filled with dust, which isn't a huge deal for my purposes, but if I was using the seed for personal consumption, might be unpleasant. Very pleased, and I use a LOT of it. Chickens and rabbits love this fresh grown grass. You get a lot of feed out of a small amount of seed and water. My chickens eat every scrap, roots and all. Some rabbits can be a little fussier about the roots. Every morning, they are lined up waiting for their grass. Even though they have feeders full of pellets. This is candy to them. My egg yolks are as dark as oranges, even in winter. ## Features - High-Protein Organic Wheat - Premium organic hard red spring wheat berries with a robust, nutty flavor and high protein content ideal for hearty whole grain baking. - Ideal for Bread Baking - Perfect for milling into fresh whole wheat flour for bread, pizza dough, rolls, bagels, sourdough, and other artisan baked goods. - Certified Clean Ingredients - USDA Certified Organic, Non-GMO, and Kosher whole grain wheat berries sourced for quality, purity, and reliable baking performance. - Nutrient-Rich Whole Grain - Naturally rich in fiber, protein, vitamins, and essential minerals to support nutritious whole food meals and homemade baking. - Convenient 25 lb Bulk Bag - Bulk 25 lb bag is excellent for home bakers, grain millers, food storage, baking co-ops, and commercial kitchens seeking premium grains. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0049YK20Q | | Age Range Description | All Ages | | Allergen Information | Wheat | | Best Sellers Rank | #34,811 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ( See Top 100 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ) #23 in Dried Wheat Berries | | Brand | Great River Milling | | Brand Name | Great River Milling | | Coin Variety 1 | Wheat | | Container Type | Bag | | Cuisine | European cuisine | | Cultivation Method Claim | No Chemical Fertilizers, No Pesticides | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,349 Reviews | | Diet Type | Kosher, Plant Based, Vegan, Vegetarian | | Flavor | Hard Red Spring Wheat | | Item Form | Whole Grain Organic Hard Red Spring Wheat Berries | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Package Weight | 12.25 Kilograms | | Item Weight | 25 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Great River Milling | | Model Number | 684765400253 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Part Number | 684765400253 | | Product Shelf Life | 730 Days | | Protein | 7 Grams | | Region of Origin | United States | | Serving Range | 100-150 servings | | Shelf Life | 730 Days | | Size | 25 LB | | Specialty | GMO Free, Glyphosate Free, Kosher, Made in USA, Organic | | UPC | 684765400253 | | Unit Count | 400.0 Ounce | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Great River Milling - **Item Package Quantity:** 1 - **Item Weight:** 25 Pounds - **Number of Items:** 1 - **Unit Count:** 400.0 Ounce ## Images ![Great River Milling Organic Whole Grain Hard Red Spring Wheat Berries | Hard Red Whole Wheat | High Protein & Gluten | Non-GMO & Kosher | Perfect For Wheat Bread, Salad, Pilaf, Bagels & More | 25 Lb - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81MNID-Db2L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: What is the best way to store an opened bag without a basement or cool area (live in south)?** A: IT MUST BE STORED COOL, DRY, AND IN THE DARK. I put a month's worth of whest in a vacuum freezer bag, vacuum seal it with an Amazon oxygen absorber pack, to keep it from going rancid (from the natural oils in the berries) AND a moisture absorber, to help it stay dry. Alternatively, use a small piece of cloth or a pouch of UNTREATED (no oil coating on the steel wool to reduce rusting) FINE 000 gauge steel wool inside the bag, will help remove the moisture (by rusting) & remove oxygen too, (by rusting as well). I remove the cloth pouch of steel wool when I unsealed the bag, and discard it, after inspecting it to see how much oxygen and moisture it "absorbed" by rusting. COOL, DARK, NO AIR, AND DRY, and your wheat berries can last for over a decade. I've heard of people keeping unground grains for decades this way. **Q: can you use this product to make biscuits, cakes, cookies, pie crusts** A: The product we received is raw, unground wheat seeds / "berries". To obtain flour, it has to be ground. We use a "Wonder Mill" to do that. We use a bread recipe and process we found on-line to make sandwich loaves that rise like bread you buy in a supermarket but which are made with 100% flour milled from this product along with an optional tablespoon per loaf of active wheat gluten (protein). Have not tried making biscuits, cakes, cookies, and/or pie crusts yet from the flour we make from the Great River product. **Q: Are the wheat berries washed ??** A: I doubt they are washed. They are very clean though... I mill them to flour straight from the bag. There's very little "fines" or dust. **Q: Has anyone ground this wheat and then used in bread machine?** A: I make 2-3 7Lb batches of bread a week with this wheat in a conventional oven. I use a 3:1 wheat to white four ratio and it works very well. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful, Well-Cleaned Hard Red Wheat *by B***Y on November 19, 2013* This is beautiful wheat.
