Hard red wheat has a hearty, robust flavor, and is perfect for bread, muffins, and rolls.  Hard white wheat will produce bread that is lighter in color and somewhat less dense than the hard red. Breads, rolls, and muffins can be made with either variety, or a mixture of both.  WheatMontana grains are not certified organic, but they ARE chemical/pesticide/GMO free.  Their wheat is tested for 125 different herbicides and pesticides and guaranteed free of all chemicals.  The grains are not irradiated or pastuerized.  For more information on their farming methods, visit WheatMontana.org.

Soft white wheat does not contain enough gluten to allow bread dough to expand, and thus must be used in recipes that do not call for yeast. However, soft wheat does mill into a fine, powdery flour that produces wonderful cookies, pancakes, waffles, muffins, cakes, tortillas, and batter breads. Just remember: if the recipe calls for yeast, you must use hard wheat. Otherwise, hard or soft wheat will do.  Our organic soft white is grown on a small family farm in Michigan.

Rye is a grass that is closely related to wheat. Because of its lower gluten content, it is best to combine rye with some hard wheat when making bread. One of our favorite recipes uses one-third each of hard red, hard white, and rye flour. To add some variety to your table, use rye to make a wonderful loaf of pumpernickel bread.

Kamut is the registered trademark name for a grain that is thought to be an ancient Egyptian relative of durum wheat. It has grown in popularity because some people who are allergic to wheat have been found to be able to tolerate Kamut. It has a rich, buttery taste, and higher protein content than traditional wheat. In America, it is always grown organically since the plant is naturally resistant to pests. It is only grown in Montana and a small portion of western North Dakota.

Spelt is another ancient grain that is estimated to be over 8,000 years old. It has a mild, nutty flavor. In Italy, spelt is called “farro”, which is where we get the word “farina”. In the U.S., this grain is mainly grown in the Great Lakes states. Like Kamut, spelt seems to be tolerated by some who have wheat allergies. If you are allergic to wheat or gluten, ask your doctor about trying Kamut and/or Spelt.

This is another interesting mix that not only contains grains, but also dried beans. The ingredients are: hard red wheat, spelt, pearl barley, millet, lentils, pinto beans, great northern beans, and kidney beans. The name of this mix comes from the biblical verse Ezekiel 4:9, “take wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet, and spelt, put them in one vessel and make them into bread for yourself”. This bread sustained Ezekiel for three hundred ninety days. Read the rest of chapter four to see how this bread was baked!

Yellow and white corn may be milled into cornmeal and used in various recipes. Cornbread is, of course, the classic favorite, but think about adding a handful of cornmeal to any muffin, waffle, or pancake recipe to give your baked goods a flavorful crunch. Yellow corn contains more carotenoids than white; however, white corn has a lighter, more delicate taste. White corn is the traditional choice for tortillas.

There is nothing like the scent of real (not microwave) popcorn! Just think: when you make popcorn the “old fashioned” way, all you are consuming is corn, a little oil, and salt. Gone are all of the questionable chemicals and hydrogenated oils that are found in the microwave varieties. This is an ideal snack; it boasts fiber, carotene, and vitamin E. It also tastes delicious. Popcorn may also be milled into cornmeal, but it will have a grittier texture than meal made from regular dried corn.

This humble grain may very well be the best one of all, as oats have been shown to lower serum cholesterol, stabilize blood sugar, and help inhibit the formation of some cancer-promoting compounds. Mill some oats into flour, and add it to meatloaf, muffins, or cookies. With the proper attachment for your mixer, you can even make your own fresh rolled oats.

A great way to start your day is with a bowl of oatmeal made from our organic rolled oats. You can truly taste the difference. Rolled oats are the main ingredient of granola, a handy cereal that is wonderful with cold milk or as a topping on yogurt. Apple cobbler and oatmeal cookies are perfect desserts, as they are rich in fiber, protein, magnesium, and vitamin E. Rolled oats add moisture, flavor, and nutrition to bread or rolls.

Millet is another ancient grain that is a staple in India and Africa. The small, yellow seeds of millet can be cooked as a hot cereal or added to soups and stuffing. Raw millet adds a delightful crunch to muffins, quick breads, and cookies. When milled, the flour can be substituted for one-third of the wheat flour for yeast breads. It is high in protein, B-vitamins, and phytochemicals.

Barley is a cereal grain that is wonderfully high in fiber, selenium, and tryptophan.  It can be added to soups and stews, or eaten as an alternative to rice or other cooked grains.  The dietary fiber in barley is a food source for "healthy" bacteria in the large intestine, and thus can promote intestinal health.  Most barley found in stores today is of the "pearled" variety.  This is where the grain is processed, resulting in the loss of the bran and possibly some of the endosperm.  Our organic hulled barley has had only the tough, inedible outer husk removed.  This is barley in its most nutrient-rich form.

Beans are a food packed with nutritional benefits:  protein, iron, magnesium, zinc, potassium, and fiber.  Serving refried beans involves cooking them from scratch (several hours), or digging them out of a can (tinny taste).  Now you can make refried pinto beans in about three minutes.  Simply measure the amount you need, add boiling water, stir, wait (3 minutes!), and serve.  Zateca has been preparing bean products since 1992.  They cook pinto beans, flake them, and carefully dry the beans, using no additives or chemicals.  What results is a product that looks a lot like bean-colored corn flakes!  Use to make quick tacos, burritos, nachos, and dips.  Our big bag holds about 13 cups of uncooked bean flakes.

Flax is a tall annual plant whose blue flowers yield a fruit pod that contains several golden seeds. Flax seeds are the best plant source of omega-3 fatty acids and lignans, which are a group of chemical compounds that have antiviral, antifungal, antibacterial, and anticancer properties. In order for these nutrients to be properly absorbed by the body, the flax must be milled. A coffee grinder does a perfect job of milling these tiny seeds as the oily seeds will clog most wheat mills. Because of the high fat content of these seeds, flaxmeal should be consumed right away or frozen for up to a week. Flaxmeal can be sprinkled on yogurt or salad, and added to almost any baked goods. Note, however, that it has been suggested that one should not consume more than 2 tablespoons of flaxmeal per day.
