What are you guys paying for your grains
    #19293878 - 12/18/13 03:45 PM (10 years, 1 month ago)

I've bought some rye berries from the health food store a while back and that's it! I'm spoiled. I can't go back to wbs. Rye berries are so much cleaner and easier to work with. Anyway they were $1.29 a lb at the health food store and I just refuse to pay that.

Well I have called every place I can think of in town and I can't find them anywhere besides the health food store. I finally found some a couple towns over for about $0.75 a lb. It is a little over a hour away. I guess I could drive over there and stock up while I'm there. Is that a good price? What are you guys paying?

Also I found some wheat berries here in town. They are really cheap. They were less than $0.40 a lb. Do any of have experience with wheat berries?

A little less than $.50/lb for rye berries. Run to that wheat store. I pay more for wheat than I do for rye.

You guys must live in cheaper places than me.  I can't get anywhere near those prices around here, but I don't need that type of bulk yet.

It works out to 1 cup (dry) rye per Qt jar. I do it by volume. 

I've never used Wheat because it's more expensive for me.

I get organic rye berries for $0.99/pound at the local year-round farmers market.

Just bought them to switch away from WBS, so I haven't used them yet.  But I have high hopes for them.

Yeah, I pretty much lucked out with this one.  When I lived in the PNW, no farmers market had anything like this.  Most catered to the yuppie crowds with mostly overpriced organic veggies in a very limited selection, or they were the local hispanic market and the only grains on the shelf were grits or flour for making torillas and tamales.  Which, incidentally, was great for when I wanted to make a batch of tamales to freeze back.

The farmers market just outside of Atlanta is supposedly the largest in the entire USA.  Can't verify it, but it *is* freakin' humongous.  In their dry bulk section, I can get millet, rye, and BRF for way cheaper than any other retail outlet.

I just hope that I can do these grains justice and grow something great from them.

I get organic rye berries from my grocery store down the street for 89 cents a pound.

If you buy a bulk bag it's even cheaper per pound like 50C

I finally found me a good deal on rye berries. It turns out all my local feed mills sell them for around $0.40 a pound. I was calling them asking for rye berries and no one knew what I was talking about. All the feed mills call them rye grain. Keep that in mind when calling around looking for them

I buy wheat from the local pet shop at £1.80 for 3 kilo, which will make at least twelve of these,>
~400g colonised grain per jar.


ignore the label.

each one of which will make one of these,>



from which I would expect at least a dry ounce, two on a good day dependent on the usual factors. with enough left over to play with for one or two of these,>



Just for the mischief. :grin:

31¢ wheat
43¢ rye  (there are some more expensive varieties, this is the cheapest)
49¢ bird seed (I can find it cheaper but loaded with sunflower, the decent wbs is still already annoying enough as is)
69¢ grass seed (cheap simple rye grass. other varieties are stupid pricey)
72¢ brown rice

It's not all about price-per-pound though!
The two on my list that are most expensive are also my favorite by FAR...

Actually that turns out to be very related to the importance of this topic.  Grains have various expansion ratios, and it can shift some depending on how you prepare it. (see above link)

But for the most part they'll be a little over Double their original volume.
