What it is

Organic cracked wheat is whole wheat grain that has been broken into smaller pieces. It is made from wheat berries that are cleaned, tempered, and then mechanically cracked. The process aims to increase the surface area for better absorption of liquids during cooking.

Why it's used

Cracked wheat is used as a hearty ingredient in baked goods like breads, muffins, and crackers, adding texture and a nutty flavor. It can also be cooked as a porridge or pilaf, similar to bulgur wheat. Manufacturers use it for its whole grain benefits and distinct texture.

Health notes

Organic cracked wheat is a whole grain and a source of dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) generally recognizes whole grains as part of a healthy diet. International bodies like the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated many food ingredients, but specific evaluations for cracked wheat are not widely published. Consuming whole grains is associated with various health benefits.

Allergen info

Wheat is one of the 9 major allergens recognized by the FDA. Cracked wheat is derived from wheat and therefore contains gluten. Individuals with wheat allergies or celiac disease should avoid it.
