Tender young wheat grains are harvested at their nutritional peak then sun-dried before being traditionally roasted. The roasted grains are then threshed and further sun-dried to achieve flavour, texture and colour. Finally the grains are “cracked” then tested for pollutants before being made ready for shipping.
