Wild Crackers

Finally I've collected the wild wheat, winnowed & separated wheat from chaff (mostly), ground the grains and baked a big cracker with the flour.... it was delicious.



Here's the winnowed wheat on a plate, still chaffy. I had a big fistfull of wild wheat; this is the grain that fell off when I rubbed it in a big cloth.





Getting all the chaff out was tough- after I'd shaken most of the grains out, I toasted it in a metal sieve over open stove top flame, and more chaff burned off.


It was easy as pie to grind it in the blender- I ended up with about half a cup of flour from a cup of grain.


And here's the final delicious cracker (on the right, in case you don't recognize it). Flour, water, & oil, baked nicely in the oven!
