I'm having so much trouble getting my soft white wheat to be the correct texture for baked goods, and I think it's because I don't know what to set my Nutrimill at. Any suggestions? I had to throw out a batch of biscuits b/c as soon as I added the flour to the coconut oil, i just had paste, rather than the proper consistency. And other similar problems w/ the soft wheat berries. Thanks for any help you have to offer (and don't worry if you don't have an answer.) Susanna Hi Kimi,

Just a tip: I usually purchase my wheat berries (to grind myself) through our food co-op – they are much less expensive.

Also, do you have an e-mail address so I could ask you an off-topic question? I couldn’t find it on your site – would you e-mail me at kellythekitchenkop@charter.net?

Thanks,
Kelly

I'll have to check my regular grocery store and see if they have the soft wheat berries...I think they have hard. Otherwise I'll hit the whole foods. Thank you Kimi, that cleared it up!
