CSA Grains

We have had a lot of interest in the grains portion of the weekly CSA order. We used up the last of the 2010 white milling corn last week, but this years planting looks good! Still a long way to go until harvest because we plant late to avoid the neighbors GMO corn pollen.

Some ideas you might want to try for the wheat and barley grains. Try soaking a cup full for 24 hours then "rinse" at least 3 times during the next 24 hours. This sprouted seed adds a nutty healthy addition to your next loaf of home-made fresh baked bread. The barley makes a great day starting cereal, just add some brown sugar or maple syrup to flavor this high fiber start to your day. Cooked barley makes a perfect bed of grain to bake your next chicken or other meat on.

Both can be added to soups and stews!
