Rice, Corn and More

Learn to grow, harvest, store, grind, and cook
with whole grains including wheat, corn, barley,
buckwheat, millet, oats, rice, rye, spelt, and
quinoa. It’s surprisingly easy, and it takes
less space than you might imagine. There is a
detailed chapter on each grain, covering types,
yield, growing instructions, potential problems
and recipes. Buckwheat pretzels sound yummy as
does Peppers Stuffed with Quinoa and Black
Beans.
This book is from the USA, so
measurements are imperial and resources listed
are USA, but the information and advice is
broadly applicable. A practical manual for
small-scale grain-growing.
