Clean your wheat seeds before eating.
Wheat seeds are a healthy addition to your pantry. You can ground them into a powder for whole wheat flour, boil wheat seeds in water as a rice substitute or sprout them for a nutrient-rich snack. Whatever use you have in mind for your wheat seeds, the first step to safe consumption is cleaning. In most cases, wheat seeds are not picked over for debris or cleaned. Culling is the process by which you search and remove debris from your wheat seeds like small rocks, pebbles or insect parts. Rinse and cull your seeds before cooking or sprouting.
Instructions
1. Pour your wheat seeds into one of your buckets.
2. Set the empty bucket in front of a medium-sized fan and turn the fan on.
3. Slowly pour the wheat seeds from the full bucket into the empty one letting the fan blow the grass and other lightweight debris from the falling seeds. Repeat pouring from bucket to bucket in front of the fan several times until no grass or large particles are visible.
4. Pour the wheat seeds into a colander. The colander should have small enough holes to prevent the wheat seeds from falling through.
5. Run the cool water over the seeds and agitate them for several minutes to remove any dust and dirt from the surfaces.
6. Pour the rinsed seeds onto a clean, dry towel in one even layer. Carefully look over the seeds and remove any larger rocks or pieces of dirt that remain.
