Western Cracked Wheat Cereal--large 2 lb

An excellent substitute for Zoom, Cream of Wheat, and Ralston Hot Cereal. Great for breads and muffins, too.

SKU: PP265 ISBN:
$5.99

This makes terrific breakfast cereal! 

This will take you back to your grandmother's kitchen--a replacement for the Zoom, Cream of Wheat, or Ralston cereal she used to make. Cook it plain or fancy it up with raisins, cranberries, pineapple, or more. It's a healthy breakfast to get your family going.

It's also great for breads and muffins.

This is the best cracked wheat we have found for baking.  It's what we use in our bread mixes. It's a finer grind than most, and so it cooks up softer.

For Making Bread and Muffins
  • Add this to your favorite bread recipe. Simply substitute this cracked cereal for part of the flour. (We use one to 1/3 cup of cereal per loaf.) It is an excellent addition to your favorite muffin recipes.


For Breakfast Cereal
  • For hot cereal, use 1 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup cracked wheat (1/4 tsp salt if desired). 
  • Bring the water to a boil.
  • Add the cracked wheat to the boiling water.
  • Bring the water back to a boil.
  • Reduce to low and simmer for about 20 minutes.

 

You can store leftover cooked cereal in the refrigerator. Uncooked cereal can be stored in the pantry as long as it is dry and cool.

—Featured Review—

I was searching for a hot cereal close to Ralston Hot Cereal, which is no longer available. I have eaten it as a kid forever and tried five others that didn’t come close.
Western Cracked Wheat is so close that I don’t miss Ralston now. Other cracked wheat contains other grains, but this is 100% cracked wheat.
I liked it so much that I ordered two more. Don’t stop handling it. Oh! The shipping was quick, too, and so were the updates !!!

Western cracked wheat

My mom used to fix this for breakfast a couple times a month, 50 years ago. So there's a lot of memories with it. And boy,,, even more memories came up when I made some for my family a couple of weeks ago. This stuff is pretty good!! I'll continue to buy it.

Good

Close to original Zoom that I've found. Tho have to cook long time. I use my rice cooker. Comes out great on porridge setting.. Wish it was "flaked" like Zoom to cook in microwave, but that's ok. Shipping is very high so for an $5 pkg plus almost $10 shipping makes for an expensive cereal. So, will use sparingly so don't have to order to often. But, like the product.

Western Crack Wheat

We use this in making our bread and also as hot cereal. Works great in both. If using in bread take a cup of cracked wheat and add warm water just until cracked wheat is covered let sit for about half hour before folding into bread mix.
For hot cereal us 1/2 cup water and 1 1/2 cup cracked wheat(1/4 tsp salt if desired). Add cracked to boiling water bring back to boil the reduced to low and simmer about 20 minutes.
Used to use Krusteaz Zoom but hard to find and the Western Crack Wheat is seams to have better flavor and consistency than Zoom.
