Wheat Fun Facts
Here are some fun activities to do with your family.
-Wheat gum. Did you know that if you chew wheat long enough, with out swallowing, it will turn into gum? Hint; you may have to add more wheat as you continue to chew.
-Wheaties. Soaking wheat for 24 hours or boiling wheat for about 45 minuets (on a simmer) makes a very good treat that can be added to salads, breakfast cereal or yogurt.
-Popped Wheat. After making wheaties, “pop” them in oil like you would popping corn (they will not pop open like pop corn). After about 4 minutes in hot oil, they will be nice and crisp. Add a flavoring to make a treat similar to corn nuts. My kids like them with cinnamon and sugar.
-Wheat grass or sprouts. This one I have never done. Soaking wheat in water for a few days will form wheat sprouts similar to bean sprouts for your salads. You can also plant wheat to create wheat grass that can be used in shakes and juices (many of you have had this in store bought smoothies).
Let us hear about your experiences using wheat in crazy ways.
