Ramona Farms - Wheat Berries

There are many everyday uses for many styles of eating - you will love the taste and texture - great with fruit, great with vegetables, delicious in soups. This soft white low gluten wheat was brought to my people more than 300 years ago by Padre Eusabio Kino, a Jesuit missionary from Spain. We were the first farmers in the Western Hemisphere to grow wheat and we are still growing it! Soup lovers add these wheat berries to your brown tepary bean soup to make our healthy and satisfying poshol. Feeling creative and ambitious? Grind your own flour for biscuits or tortillas.

Other everyday uses of the wheat berries also include using instead of potatoes or rice as a side dish. This low gluten, soft white club wheat has been used by our people for many generations. These wheat berries can be cooked with tepary beans to make an excellent 'poshol'. 

Pima Club, an heirloom wheat of the Akimel O’odham (Pima, River People) is a soft white awnless clubwheat variety used for baking breads and pastries which require baking powder as a leaving agent. A healthy alternative to breakfast cereal you will love. Low in gluten - great cooked for cereal or add to yogurt, salads and soups.
