I use berries for wheatgrass, and use hard WINTER wheat (usually red). I see Palouse has both hard white and hard red, but NOT WINTER. Suggestions?

Doesn't really matter. You are right that for a while all hard wheat was grown in winter. There is a spring wheat that is hard. This can still be used for baking bread. Have done so many times. (And pizza, etc.)

I can't say because we had a white variety too. They all produced fruit the first year. But none survived last winter (in PA).

I live in zone 9, but googled your zone for black bamboo. It's not recommended, but they list others more suitable to your cold winters.

I wish I could answer for you. Sorry. We haven't tried the wheatgrass. From everything I've read about extractors, the mechanisms in this style (masticating) are ideal for extracting wheatgrass without heating or destroying enzymes, but I've not tried it personally.

Yes they are different. There are different weeds in warm weather areas than cold weather thus the formula is not the same. I do not know the formula difference.

The Psyllium Husks from Barry Farm are finely ground. They were smaller granules than I was accustomed to (compared to the Coarse Metamucil grind), but I was able to use them with a little additional mixing.

I make my own flour out of the wheat berries. I have used a bunch of different varieties of wheat berries with the same results. Moisture is the key ingredient to allowing the wheat berries to sprout. If you do not want them to sprout, keep them dry. I am afraid that if you freeze them, they will pick up what is called freezer scent prior to when you mill the berries. My suggestion would be to use a nice sealing moisture barrier bag. This is how I treat my product. Alternately, some people will sprout their wheat berries in an incubater then after a series of days of growth, put them in a dehydrater to remove water. The next step is to mill the dehydrated sprouts. I have not done this operation as it is labor intensive. I have other friends that have and really like the product.

I'm not familiar with the texture of wheat berries. the only process similar that I've done is make almond milk, HOWEVER, it did NOT fully fine chop the almonds. Keep in mind, Almonds are very hard nuts so that may have played an important part in the end result. Just a suggestion, why not use the simple hand mill/coffee grinder (much more economical). They usually run about $15-$35 Good Luck!

Kelly, The product used to be rice derived but we moved to wheat because all of our customers gave feedback that it was more effective. I checked out the title and bullet points to confirm it was switched to wheat. I do see in fact the description still has 1 rice notation in it and I will update it ASAP... Thanks for pointing this out for me !

I would wait until there are no more snow storms. I live in Texas and my plants have weathered the cold spells with below freezing temps, but our cold spells don't last long. Hope spring comes soon for you guys!!! I can imagine you are ready for it.

We love using Palouse Garbanzos, but I was not sure on the Pesticides issue. After contacting Palouse directly, this was their response:"Thank you for your interest in our Garbanzo Beans. We do use some pesticides on our farm, however we've been certified by the Food Alliance as a sustainable farm and are not allowed to use certain pesticides as part of the certification. If you're interested in more information regarding their certification requirements and to see the list of restricted pesticides, please go to foodalliance.org."..Hope this helps!

I don't know the answer to that question. But I can tell you that "Handy Pantry's" Hard White Wheat is the best wheat I've ever bought. I'm sure their website will have all that answer. www.handypantry.com

This is the response I got from the Red Oval Farms folks. They are sending me a coupon as reimbursement. Perhaps you can contact them as well. I bought my crackers from Kroger in Ohio, but it seems with all the comments that the distribution of this problem is not local. We appreciate you taking the time to visit us at http://www.snackworks.com/ and for letting us know about your experience. I'm sorry to hear that your RED OVAL FARMS Stoned Wheat Thins do not taste the same,and have more air in them. The differences you noted may be due to a change in the production facility and process in which we make the cracker. We have not reformulated the recipe, but we have changed the way we make the cracker. We will make sure our Quality team are aware of your comments, so they can address these issues with the production plant The problem you described sounds like the product was not properly stored during distribution. We take care at our manufacturing facilities to ensure that our products are stored at the correct temperature and time frame until we are able to distribute them. Once our products are in distribution, the storage is out of our control. If the product was exposed to excessive temperatures it could cause the problem you described. Again, I apologize for this experience. Thank you for your loyalty and we hope that your next experience is a good one. Adele Stapley Operations Manager

I think that it's a complex question. Being part of the NON-GMO Project that means it's can't be chromosome modified. That being said...Monsanto is responsible for almost all GMO. Monsanto is also the company that makes insecticides. So I would make the assumption that they could be some insecticide, but out of moral pressure perhaps not Monsanto based? Palouse beans are listed organic. So I would contact Palouse directly on the wheat berries. I personally love Palouse wheat berries and buy Bob's Red Mill Emmer wheat as well. But Bob's Red Mill will be very costly to use as your main source as the bags are very small. I think that it's a complex question.

From what I understand, zones 7-10. I do believe that they do better w/a Winter rest period. We've had a VERY cold, bitter Winter in North Georgia. The leaves are gone and I'm hoping the plants will come back.
