Does whole grain actually have more nuggets of the grain in the mix?

No, it doesn't really have nuggets, it is just made with the whole wheat grain including the bran & germ, which gives it a little darker color than the original. The original was more processed & not a whole grain. The original only has 1 gram of fiber whereas the whole grain has 4 grams.

I don't really know, but size of the grains in the box are comparable to the original formula, so I suspect the overall contents are about the same

Yes the texture is denser in the Whole Grain Cream of Wheat. There are no nuggets per se, but its pretty different from regular. Taste is less refined. It's also healthier (12%) of your fiber. I never eat regular Cream of Wheat when I can help it.

Short answer: Yes. You might want to see if wheat is processed with the same equipment.

No, the machine does not have a program called "multi-grain program" ( a program is called a course in the manual) . However, if you use the WHOLE WHEAT PROGRAM ( called a course ), you will get excellent results. I bake muti-grain breads all the time and I always use for the three, four, five, six, and seven grain multi-grain breads the WHOLE WHEAT PROGRAM and always get excellent results. This is mainly due to the fact that the cycle times and temps are the same for multi-grain and whole whheat breads.

I have used 12 cups of all purpose flour with no problem. Haven't used whole wheat.

Yes, indeed. I just got through milling a cup of flour, so less than that in grain. It is so nice and easy to have nutritious flour any time!

I have experimented with various of these breads, and I prefer the Fitness over the 3-grain, but it's very much a matter of individual taste. If I recall the 3-grain, it has a flatter texture than the Fitness, but this is, again, simply my preference and perhaps imperfect memory.

Yeah, love it. Never use it 100% but I always mix it (1 -3 cups for a 2 loaf) with other (organic) spelt or wheat or white - the more used, the more gluten I add. Depending on how much 7-grain you put into the dough, it gives the bread a nutty consistency and a wonderful taste.

I bought the mix of,organic alfalfa, daikon radish, red clover, and broccoli. The package does not give percentages however I would guesstimate that they are all equal amounts. Sprouted well and taste great!

No. I cook it and add it to recipes that I'm making. I also use it to make muffins in place of oat bran. Follow the directions on the package for grain to water. I cook mine in a veggie steamer. It comes out very thick, while it is still hot, I add more water until I get it to the consistency I want. It sort of has a nutty taste. I buy the dark brown. I personally like this with sweetener on it.

Yes. Here's a link to a chart: http://www.csaceliacs.org/grains_and_flours_glossary.jsp

OK, now I've made the 100% whole wheat. I added two tablespoons of vital wheat gluten and used 2 tablespoons of butter instead of the 1 1/2 tablespoons in the recipe. I used the whole wheat sandwich mode. It turned out really well.

Try it from your store first if you have doubts. My experience is that it has a whole grain texture. I like it.

No, it makes it very fine like flour. If you just want to crack grains I suggest trying a food processor on "pulse".

Yes. I've cooked all sorts of grains and they come out perfectly chewy. Just last weekend made Kamut and it was delicious! Make sure you invest in a good pressure cooker cookbook!

I usually mix one container full and use almost all of it at one time, but have had leftovers that I add a new batch to without problem. I try not to mix more than I can use at one time.

I'm not sure whether they are whole grains or not because it is not specified anywhere online or in the bag. However, the flour is certainly stone ground, not white and pretty coarse, you can distinctly see and feel the chunks of different grains. So it is DEFINITELY not a very refined flour and its texture and appearance resembles a whole wheat flour, NOT a refined flour.

I believe it is a 'balanced' grain nutritionally and is raised where the Natural soil was rich in nutrients not found other places. Now it could be raised other places soooo watch your source. High protien if I remember correctly.
