Most of them. About two-thirds of our grains and rice are certified organic, including hard red, hard white and soft white wheat berries, einkorn, spelt, Kamut, rye, hulled barley, quinoa, millet, oats, and Lundberg organic brown and white rice. Organic products have "Organic" in the name. We also carry non-organic Wheat Montana wheats, which are Certified Glyphosate Free.

Hard wheat, red or white, is higher in protein and is the choice for yeast breads and sourdough. Soft white wheat is lower in protein and makes tender pastries, cakes, cookies and pie crusts. Hard red has a classic hearty whole-wheat flavor, while hard white bakes up milder and lighter. Compare them, plus Wheat Montana Bronze Chief and Prairie Gold, in Wheat Berries.

Two of our wheats carry the Certified Glyphosate Free label: Wheat Montana Bronze Chief, a hard red spring wheat, and Prairie Gold, a hard white spring wheat. The berries come in 10 and 50 lb bags and are also Non-GMO, and both are sold as whole wheat flour too. Our other wheat berries don't carry this certification. Many of them are certified organic instead.

More than a dozen: brown and white basmati, white and brown jasmine, short- and long-grain brown, sweet brown, wild rice and a wild rice blend, black Forbidden rice, Arborio for risotto, and 8-minute quick brown rice. Most come in 1, 5 and 25 lb bags. Many are certified organic, and several are from Lundberg. Brown rice keeps its oil-rich bran, so store it cool and use it sooner than white rice.

Our larger bulk sizes ship in sturdy paper bags, and 5 lb bags and smaller pouches are plastic. Neither is meant for long-term storage, so repack grain into Mylar bags with oxygen absorbers or sealed food-grade pails, and keep it cool and dry. Stored that way, whole wheat lasts for many years: BYU researchers found sealed wheat still made acceptable bread after 32 years. Supplies are in Food Storage.

Yes. We stock organic einkorn berries (1, 5, 25 and 50 lb), organic spelt berries (1, 5 and 25 lb), organic Kamut khorasan wheat (5 and 25 lb), organic rye berries and Bob's Red Mill organic farro. These are all wheat-family grains and contain gluten. For gluten-free ancient grains, try our organic quinoa, millet, buckwheat and teff.
