Bluebird Emmer is slightly cracked to provide you with a hot cereal, porridge, or polenta that is reminiscent of the old world. It cooks on the stove top in 10 minuets and reveals a sweet nutty flavor that is nutritious, high in fiber, and smooth in texture. Cracked Emmer can also be cooked in a broth and served as polenta topped with a savory sauce, a common dish that you will find in Northern Italy.
