A backyard field of grains? Yes, absolutely Wheat and corn are
rapidly replacing grass in the yards of dedicated locavores across
the country. For adventurous homeowners who want to get in on the
movement, "Homegrown Whole Grains" is the place to begin.
Growing whole grains is simpler and more rewarding than most people
imagine. With as little as 1000 square feet of land, backyard
farmers can grow enough wheat to harvest 50 pounds in a single
afternoon - and those 50 pounds can be baked into 50 loaves of
fresh bread.
In addition to providing information on wheat and corn, "Homegrown
Whole Grains" includes complete growing, harvesting, and threshing
instructions for barley, millet, oats, rice, rye, spelt, and
quinoa, and lighter coverage of several specialty grains. Readers
will also find helpful tips on processing whole grains, from what
to look for in a home mill to how to dry corn and remove the hulls
from barley and rice.
Chapters for each grain include inventive recipes for cereals,
desserts, casseroles, salads, soups and stews, and, of course,
home-baked breads, the crowning achievement of the home grain
grower. Sara Pitzer shares dozens of ideas for using whole grains -
from cooking sturdy wheat berries in a slow cooker to malting
barley for homebrewed beer. Whether milled into nutritional flours
or used in any of their unmilled states, wheat, barley, quinoa, and
the other grain crops are healthful additions to every diet.
