Yes, but in open and honest kind of shill!Shill!!!!!!!!!
I should disclose that I'm now importing amaranth and quinoa from an organic farm coioperative in Bolivia, hence my interest.

Has anyone had an experience of ordering from Indian Harvest.
i'm looking for reliable sources for some grains, including as it may sound silly, for converted rice.
thank you.

If you can wait until November, Lorna Sass is coming out with Whole Grains Every Day, Every Way, in which she discusses those and more. She has basic recipes for amaranth, barley, buckwheat, various forms of corn (including posole), Job's Tears (??
), millet, oats, quinoa, brown, red, and black rices, rye and triticale, sorghum, teff, various forms of wheat including wheat berries, Kamut, spelt, farro, and bulgur, and wild rice. And specific recipes for using the grains in combination with other ingredients for all types of dishes. She'll also have a list of sources.
I made her Basic Amaranth with some Peruvian kiwicha, and it turned out perfect!
(Disclosure: I copyedited the book, and put Lorna and Rancho Gordo in touch with each other.)
Suzanne, congratulations on the book - i saw it in the store and it looks quite comprehensive.

After some investigation (sourcing from CH, eG and food mags) i got following recommendations:
Indian Harvest mentioned upthread;
Gold Mine Natural Foods;
Phipps Country Store;
Anson Mills (credit goes to MF) from which i just ordered about 10 bags of stuff.

I have been very curious about white wheat. THe wheat we're all used to is red wheat which in the whole form is brown in color. White whole wheat, even though it sounds like an oxymoron, is actually white and tastes less bitter than what we're used to.
What has me less than comfortable, though, is that the only bread product I have seen using www is, gulp, Wonder Bread.
Anyone know about this other kind of wheat?

We were gifted lamb bones from 3 Corner Field farm, so we made lamb stock.
With the lamb stock, we made barley. With carrots, celery, garlic and chorizo. Highly recommended, ever so slightly addictive.

got the idea while leafing through some morrocan cookbooks a while ago at borders: the description sounded quite appetizing - dry and redolent with olive oil.
not much of a recipe: a cup of bulgur (enough for 2), a bit less than 1/4 cup of olive oil and and a cup of water; bake for 50mins at 350F;

oh, in the recipe above i actually miss the important ingredient - one finely diced onion... so sorry about that.
cooked spelt yesterday - it was amazing! i'd say more interesting than farro. Next time i'll cook it in wine (red or white) as suggested by Patricia Wells.

Helena, the spelt flour we got from a small mill in PA is just revelatory. I'm glad I sent Squeat only one baking book, and kept the King Arthur whole wheat baking book..

gone wild yesterday at the local health food store and ended up with bags and bags of whole grains: oat, buckwheat, kamut and even rye.
considering that an order from Rancho Gordo beans is on its way i have my fiber supply for the rest of the year
