About the Recipe Book

Q: What type of ingredient is the de Savor wheat as shown on pages 12-13 of the recipe book?
A: The 'de Savor wheat' is obtained by boiling and then grinding the wheat grain. It has kept some of the properties of flour. For example, it gets thicker when mixed with liquid. Therefore it can be used like flour as in the recipe on page 60 of the recipe book. But it can also be used like corn semolina or couscous as for the recipe on page 38.

About the grains/wheat grinder

Q: Is there a suitable electric grinder available?
A: We are presently looking for one. Most electric grinders are built to grind dry wheat grain so they tend to jam when grinding cooked grains. We are in the process of trying some electric grinders in order to choose one that will give the best result, for you, with cooked wheat grain.

Q: Is the grinder suitable to make flour?
A: Not flour as fine as the flour that is bought from the shop. In order to obtain the best finesse, play with the wing nuts by tightening as necessary. You may also need to grind the same lot twice after tightening the wing nuts.
