Cracked Wheat Cereal (and Other Uses)

This is a breakfast that freezes well, so make all needed for breakfast and other uses, divide it in freezer containers according to planned uses, chill in fridge overnight, freeze until needed.

​

This recipe makes 4 to 6 servings for breakfast cereal....

​

 

​

1 c. dry whole wheat berries (also called kernels)

3 c. water

1/4 tsp. sea salt

​

​

Rinse wheat in a screen-type colander; drain. Put wheat, water, and salt into blender, cover. *Let soak

overnight (this is optional, but softens the wheat somewhat). DO NOT change the water, as nutrients

would be lost.  Blend on/off at low speed until wheat is cracked in small pieces.  Pour into a double

boiler. Cover. **Cook 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. Take off heat, let stand covered, for about 10 minutes. Ready to serve.

​

 

*you don't have to soak it overnight as long as you blend the wheat in the water, but I think it is less hard on a blender if it soaks overnight. Plus it takes less on/off's to accomplish cracked wheat.

​

**crockpot method: put blended cracked wheat/water/salt into crock pot. Cover, cook on low for

5 to 7 hours, until tender. Turn off crockpot; allow to sit covered for about 25-30 minutes. Ready to serve.

 

​

​

NOTE: cooked cracked wheat is useful for other meals. It mixes/cooks well with ground beef. We use the following formula: 2 c. ground beef (1 lb.) + 1 c. cooked/cooled cracked wheat. Can add cooked cracked wheat to soups, stews, and other recipes.
