Kalmut is also a wheat that is that is great for organic gardens. It is a resistant to pesticides and does not need much in fertilizers. A large kernel size equals a higher yield. Kalmult only needs about an inch of water a week, more if there is a dry spell. Because the kernel is large a small plot can yield enough for a small family. Prepare the garden in the fall, sow as early as possible in the spring. Plant the seeds close together, so weeds to have a chance to intervene. Grows organically and natural. No need to fuss over this growing grain. Kalmut does need a sunny location.
Harvesting the wheat can be fun. Scythe the grain close to the grain almost finishes losing it's green color. Hang or set out to dry for two weeks. When the grain is dry beat the grain on a tarp on the ground. Use a slow speed fan to separate the hull from the grain.
Store in glass in a dark area. When ready to mill the grain use a heavy duty blender or a counter top grain mill. Bake and cook like you would the every day flour from the store, except be healthier.
