Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This product is exactly as the company describes it. In fact, it even comes with directions and planting tips. I ordered three packs and the shipping stayed the same as if I had ordered only one. It also arrived quickly, neatly packed, and sealed to avoid moisture. I will buy from this company again.

Prolific grain-like plants. Annual. 30-36" tall. CERTIFIED ORGANIC
Seed - cooked. A pleasant mild flavour, it can be used in soups and broths. It can be ground into a flour and used to make bread or used in any of the ways that rice is used. The pounded flour is sometimes mixed with water like barley for barley water. The pounded kernel is also made into a sweet dish by frying and coating with sugar. It is also husked and eaten out of hand like a peanut. The seed contains about 52% starch, 18% protein, 7% fat. It is higher in protein and fat than rice. This is a very useful grain, it has a higher protein to carbohydrate ratio than any other cereal. A tea can be made from the parched seeds, whilst beers and wines are made from the fermented grain.
