Shiloh Farms Organic Wheat Flakes 16 oz

Recipe Wheat Flakes are made from kernels of wheat that have been steamed to soften, then passed through steel rollers to flatten them into flakes.  They look similar to the old fashioned version of rolled oats.   They are firmer than oats, thus they will need further cooking before eating. When substituting Organic Wheat Flakes for rolled oats in baked goods and hearty griddle cakes.  (It is a good idea to soften the wheat flakes first by pouring boiling water over them.  Cover and let stand about 10 minutes, then add them to your recipes.)
