Where does the Bible speak of the wheat and the chaff?
In biblical times, wheat separation was normally performed by hand. The workers would beat on the harvested wheat with sticks, branches, or a similar tool, then throw it into the air on a windy day to allow the chaff (outer hulls) to blow away.
Is wheat a complementary good or supplementary good of bread?
No they are not complementary goods. The two can be consumed separately without reducing the level of satisfaction to the consumer
Well, what else would they be made of? You can use any type of potato, even sweet potatoes. If if was something else, it would be called mashed _______ whatever the food is.
What is the shelf life of bulgur wheat?
Because bulgur is precooked, it has a very long - almost indefinite - shelf life.
What are the parts of a wheat plant?
Most corn plants have a single stem, called a stalk, which grows vertically upward from the ground. The height of the stalk depends both on the variety of the corn and the environment in which a corn plant is grown. As the stalk grows, leaves emerge. A typical corn plant grown by a farmer in the central United States will have a stalk that is 7 to 10 feet tall and has 16 to 22 leaves. The lower part of each leaf wraps around the stalk and is attached to the stalk at a juncture called a node. Typically the lowest four nodes are below ground. Roots develop from each of these nodes. Sometimes, roots develop from the first aboveground node, and these are known as brace roots. Some varieties of corn in certain environments produce secondary stalks, known as tillers, which grow outward from near the base of the main stalk. Every corn plant has both male and female parts. The male part, which is known as the tassel, emerges from the top of the plant after all the leaves have emerged. The tassel usually consists of several branches, along which many small male flowers are situated. Each male flower releases a large number of pollen grains, each of which contains the male sex cell.
The female floral organ is called an ear. The ear develops at the tip of a shank, which is a small, stalk-like structure that grows out from a leaf node located approximately midway between the ground and the tassel. Occasionally, a plant will produce an ear at several consecutive nodes, but the one that is located uppermost on the stalk becomes the largest ear. The immature ear consists of a cob, eggs that develop into kernels after pollination, and silks. The cob is a cylindrical structure upon which kernel development occurs. The kernels are arranged on the cob in pairs of rows. From each egg, a hair-like structure called a silk grows and eventually emerges from the tip of the husk, which is a group of leaves attached to the shank that encloses the entire ear. Pollination occurs when pollen falls on the exposed silks. Following pollination, a male sex cell grows down each silk to a single egg and fertilization (the union of the male and female sex cells) occurs. The fertilized egg develops into a kernel and inside each kernel is a single embryo (a new plant). A vigorous corn plant may have 500 to 1000 kernels on a single ear.
How many cup are in one box of cream of wheat?
It would certainly depend on how big the box was, but even then you would need to know the weight (per cup) of the product; in this case cream of wheat if you wanted to convert the measure. If you knew the weight of a single cup of cream of wheat, then you would know what size (net weight) of box to buy.
All dry measurements by volume are somewhat consistent, yet there can be substantial differences in weight of the product by volume. A cup of gold certainly weighs more than a cup of flour; but both are, nevertheless, a cup worth.
Factors affecting the demand of wheat?
Since corn and wheat can both be used as types or grain, they are in a way interchangeable amongst buyers. These types of goods are called substitute good, one can be substituted for another. If the price of corn rises, that leaves wheat being the more favored product (because it's cheaper). When an increase for the demand for wheat increase, the supply will decrease. The opposite would happen if the price of corn falls. If it falls under the price of wheat, corn will then be more favored. Thus making it the more demanded product. Under the law of demand, supply and demand work in opposite directions. When the demand increases, the supply decreases. When the demand decrease, the supply increases.
What is the nutritional value of wheat?
Broken Wheat is a good source of slow releasing carbs for your body and helps in improving your metabolisium. Rice on the other hand is very rich in carbs and is stored as energy and needs to be utilised. If not used or burned converts to stored calories and eventually fat!!
If you are not a farmer or a person who does physical work for a living then best to avoid rice on regular basis.
How much gluten is in wheat bread?
Cake flour has less gluten than bread flour, but it does contain a significant amount of gluten. While these estimates should not be taken as authoritative, cake flour contains roughly 6 - 8% protein (gluten) compared to about 11% in all-purpose flour, and about 14% in bread flour.
Does Mikes hard lemonade have wheat in it?
I saw this on another website. The person (Terri) contacted Mike's Hard Lemonade and this was their response:
Thank you for taking the time to contact mike's hard lemonade. Mike's products available in the US are lemon clear malt based ( fermented barley beer malt) beverages. In independent lab analysis mike's products do not contain any traces of gluten protein, however, our products are bottled in multiple sites that produce other malt beverages. We cannot guarantee complete absence of gluten contamination from other products run on the same equipment.
Take care, and keep on enjoying the good things in life,
Sincerely,

Does wheat pasta contain flour?
Yes of course you can, we make pasta homemade all the time here.. we are vegetarian
Does wheat bread contain fiber?
Wheat bread contains fiber if it is made with whole wheat flour or has other whole grains or fiber added.
The easiest way to avoid gluten is to drink a fermented drink based on a non-grain such as fruit juice--wine or hard cider are definitely safe.
Though there is a division of opinion, the general consensus is that most hard liquor is safe. This is because, although many drinks (such as whiskeys) have grain alcohol has a base, gluten generally doesn't get passed through distillation. This also means neutral spirit is generally safe (as is vodka), and drinks based off them (like gin, liqueurs, and absinthe) will be safe as well. There are also hard liquors based on non-grains (like rum, tequila, and brandy) that will be definitely safe to drink.
Beer will be the toughest drink to avoid gluten. This is because of the general preference among brewers for barley (which does contain gluten). There are also a number of wheat-based beers which would not be safe. Perhaps the only known beers safe to drink would be African-based beers based of either sorghum or millet. But a couple warnings. Not only are these grains hard to obtain and to brew, but their end result is of a very different consistency from your average beer.

Is wheat pollard not for human consumption when in fact it is from wheat like wheat bran?
Germ is actually short for germination. Referring to the way plants reproduce. The germ is the zygote of the plant. It's where all the DNA instructions is held in the plant. The germ has the most nutrients, it is a small piece at the bottom of the grain. The bran is the thin layer surrounding the endosperm. The endosperm is the part that you eat when you eat white bread or rice. The bran a thin shell, the germ is a separate part at the bottom of the grain piece. The bran has most of the fiber, the germ has alot of the nutrients. The endosperm is the part of the grain which is starch.
What role does the latitude and shape of the north America continent play in the success of goats?
None. The owner plays the greatest role. Mountain goats are an indigenous species, and have adapted to it. They are few, and isolated. Dairy goats are many, and vastly spread.
Where does UK get its wheat from?
most of the food is from farms but sometimes you buy it in a supermarket who have received deliveries from all around the world
When do you plant winter wheat in Montana?
There is no particular month that wheat is harvested. It really depends on location, the type or cultivar of wheat, and whether it is being harvested for grain or silage.
