Looking for a new twist on your favorite baked goods?
Try cooking with Kernza® perennial grain, a nutty, delicious, and environmentally friendly ingredient gaining traction in Iowa and beyond. As a perennial, it builds healthier soil, reduces erosion, and sequesters carbon, making it a powerful tool in climate-resilient agriculture.
More and more farmers are growing Kernza® to diversify both their fields and income streams. In the kitchen, a good rule of thumb is to replace up to 25% of the flour by weight—though some recipes can handle much more. For breads and baked goods that need to rise, just allow a bit of extra time. Have fun discovering the deep, toasty flavor of this exciting grain!
