ABOUT WHEAT

Wheat is high in fiber and vitamins B and E, and it even

provides some protein. Much of the wheat in the U.S. is

consumed in either breads or pastas, which are often made

from highly processed “white” wheat flour. Many of the nutrients

inherent to wheat are lost after this process. The following are

some of the most common forms of wheat available.

Wheat Berries

Wheat berries are whole wheat kernels from which the hull has

been removed. Wheat berries have a somewhat meaty texture

and are good substitutes for ground meat in recipes. Hard

wheat berries come from high-protein “hard” wheat strains. Soft

wheat berries come from low-protein “soft” wheat strains. Hard

wheat berries take a little longer to cook than soft, but they are

interchangeable in recipes.

Cracked Wheat

Cracked wheat is produced by cutting the wheat berry into 2 or

3 pieces. It can be added to breads or used as a substitute for

wheat berries or bulgur.

Bulgur

Bulgur is wheat that has been precooked by either steaming or

parboiling, after which it is dried, cracked and separated into

grades of fine, medium or coarse. Bulgur is easy to cook and

its tender, chewy texture makes it perfect for salads, pilafs,

savory stuffings and hearty soups. It also makes an excellent

breakfast cereal.

Spelt

Spelt is an ancient form of wheat that has a high protein

content. Spelt berries are interchangeable with wheat berries.

Couscous

Couscous is a type of tiny pasta that is made from wheat flour.

Traditional couscous is made from cracked semolina, a strain

of hard wheat. Couscous is a versatile grain and cooks quickly.

The quick-cooking couscous found in markets generally

steams in 5 minutes. Couscous is exceptional as either a side

dish or in a salad.

Israeli Couscous

Israeli Couscous is a wheat product with “kernels” about the

size of peppercorns. It can be served topped with sauce or

tossed into a salad. It can most likely be found in Middle

Eastern markets or specialty food stores.
