Using the initial recipe from this site, I still had large-ish chunks of wheat kernels that did not cook very well, and the pancakes were a little gritty. By soaking them in buttermilk (made with powder) overnight, the kernels softened wonderfully. It stall had a good texture, without being crunchy, Thanks, Tamara!

Even so, wheat has become a staple in our diet in the form of blender pancakes on Sunday mornings and cracked wheat extending our meat. I cook it up in beef broth and call it "poor man's TVP'! Hubby is going to be using cracked wheat in bread soon, and I have been taking wheat berry salads to work. Thanks so much for this valuable step in our food storage, it has opened up a whole new world of possibilities for us!

They last up to 30 years, where as ground flour can go bad fairly quickly. That's why most people store kernels. Hope that helps :) Scolie,
