About Our Wheat "Rice"

Wheat "Rice" are whole grain wheat berries. These are the same wheat berries that we source from Fieldstone Organics Farm in Armstrong and mill into our fresh flour.

When soaked in water and cooked, wheat berries act as a great rice substitute. Not only is it more nutritious than white rice, it's also more flavourful and filling. Wheat "Rice" is also highly versatile. You can use it in soups, cold salads, hot breakfast cereal and rice pudding.

Detail: sold per pound.

Grown by Fieldstone Organics, Armstrong.
