I grind hard red winter and white spring berries into flour for baking. I adjust how fine I grind the berries depending on what I plan to use the flour for.

As a rule, the hard wheats are higher in gluten and preferred for yeast breads.

The spring wheat is higher in protein and works better for leavened breads.

I know that some people cook these berries as you would rice. I haven't done that as I normally use them for flour. You can also sprout them if they have not been frozen. Good luck. -KLM-
