Emmer Organic, SuperPail, Zone-2

Don't be afraid of the plastic construction of this handy lid removal tool. We've used them for years here at PHG. They work great and we've never had one break.

Overall length of the tool is 8.25".

Note: Some bucket lids have several points around their lower lip that must be snipped with a cutting tool prior to removal. No matter what sort of tool you use to pry the lid off, if you're working with that sort of lid then it is indeed necessary to snip the lid at those points, first. Such "snip points" vary in appearance and may or may not be marked with words like "Cut Here" or with a scissors symbol. Another type of lid has a circumferential "tear strip" around its bottom edge. With such lids you may not need a lid removal wrench to use after pulling the tear-strip away, but one can be helpful to those with hand weakness due to arthritis or other reasons.

Our one pound grain, bean and seed samples are a way for you to give a grain a try before investing in a bulk amount. These samples are not packaged for longterm storage.

Einkorn is an ancient grain in the wheat family that is easy to digest, less likely to cause gut inflammation, tolerable for those with gluten sensitivity and is becoming one of the most popular grains/flours on the market. Not only does it have outstanding health benefits, but it’s delicious too!

How does one prepare this ancient grain? Popular food bloggers, Tim and Shanna Mallon of Food Loves Writing, bring einkorn to your table with this beautiful whole food cookbook that’s a pleasure to read and cook from. The book includes a brief history of einkorn, an overview of its health benefits, tips on how to use and store it, and over 100 easy-to-follow recipes all featuring this ancient grain. Recipes are broken into sections including breakfast, appetizers, breads, main dishes, and desserts.

The einkorn flour called for throughout this book is either all-purpose flour, sifted whole grain flour, or 100% whole grain flour. Substituting whole grain flour for the AP flour works for us, but to make up for the extra absorption of whole grain flour over AP flour, we add 5% more liquid than the recipe calls for.

Are you interested in grinding whole einkorn berries at home to make fresh, nutrient-rich flour? We offer organic, non-hybridized einkorn berries as well as quality grain mills and flour sifters . You may also be interested in a food dehydrator to dry sprouted einkorn berries.

Pullman loaf pans like this nonstick one from USA Pan are excellent for baking breads in that don't rise well, like gluten free loaves and rye breads. Thanks to the pan's narrower designer and taller sides, these breads will turn out taller than if baked in traditional loaf pans.

Over fifty years ago USA Pan began providing the highest quality commercial-gauge bakeware for the world’s leading bakeries. Today they are the largest manufacturer of commercial bakeware. When you purchase a USA Pan product you're choosing a product that meets industrial standards for innovation, quality and durability. From superior pan materials, to methods of manufacturing, and overall design, USA pans are some of the very best available for the commercial user as well as the home chef. Each USA Pan is proudly produced in Crescent, Pennsylvania.

Each USA Pan bakeware item is constructed of aluminized steel, which is the material of choice for commercial bakeries. The metal thickness chosen for each bakeware piece allows even heat distribution and maximum service life.

The bakeware is coated with Americoat© Plus, a proprietary silicone coating that nearly all North American bakers prefer over dark nonstick coatings. Americoat© Plus is a clear non-stick, environmentally friendly, coating specifically formulated for superior baking and does not contain any PTFE’s or PFOA’s.

Another unique feature of USA Pan bakeware is the corrugated (or fluted) design. This ridged surface maximizes pan strength, as well as prevents warping, denting and other effects of everyday use. Corrugation also minimizes surface contact with baked goods which means you have evenly baked goods which are easily released from their pan.

Available in 13" and 9" length. The 13" Loaf Pan is a top rated product at Cook's Illustrated!

The Pullman Loaf Pan is made in the USA, and the lid is imported.

Good strong poly bread bags. The Large and Extra Large bags have a gusseted end for full capacity along the entire length of the bag. The Extra Large size adapts to large loaves of various sizes and shapes. Many of our customers put two loaves in the Extra Large bags, depending on loaf size. The Long bags are perfect for baguettes and other loaves up to 20” in length, and have a flat end seam.

The durability of these bags will let you reuse them many times, making them ultra-economical!

This remarkably practical two-part gadget transforms a standard plastic bucket into a rugged, gasketed, resealable storage container that's both air-tight. Just snap the outer ring down onto your bucket. The threaded lid turns easily with molded-in grip bars. These lids are heavy duty for years and years of service. The ring has a polymer gasket where it sits against the lid of your bucket, and the threaded lid has another polymer gasket, giving the container an air-tight seal that excludes not only such freeloaders as mice and insects, but moisture too.

The Gamma Seal lid transforms an ordinary bucket into the ideal storage vault for an endless list of materials from grain and other foods to laundry products, pet food, tools, documents, silk ties, lawn and garden products, bait, seeds, oil, disaster supplies... and on and on. They also make lightweight, super-strong totes for camping gear. And did we mention that they're stackable? Our customers come back for more of these. (Make your life easier by ordering a few more the first time!)

All Gamma Lid plastics are food safe, including "heavy-metal-free" pigment in the colored lids, and all Gamma products are BPA-free. Gamma Seal lids do not include the bucket. Please note that color tint of plastic buckets can vary, so Gamma Lid colors may not perfectly match with the color of any given plastic buckets.

These 12" Gamma Seal lids fit 3-1/2 gallon or 5 gallon or 6 gallon buckets with standard top outside diameter of 11-3/4" to 12-1/8". If you want to use Gamma Seal Lids on buckets you already have, be sure your bucket tops have an outside diameter that falls within that range. (The buckets offered by Pleasant Hill Grain all have the proper top diameters to accept their respective size of Gamma Seal Lid.)

To install we recommend a large rubber mallet, or lay a 2x4 across the lid and strike with any heavy hammer. If a lid ring doesn't want to start on a bucket easily, submerging the ring or bucket rim (or both) in hot water will ease the connection.

Lids are sold in sets of three of each color. Colors include white, black, green, yellow, red, blue, and orange.

Note: If using oxygen absorbers in plastic buckets, you need to use standard hammer-on lids (not Gamma Lids). Gamma Lids are airtight, but are not designed to counteract the force of pressure that's created when all of the oxygen in the container is removed by oxygen absorbers. Once the standard lid is initially removed to start using the contents, a Gamma Lid can be used to re-seal the bucket against moisture, rodents and insects. A quality bucket and hammer-on gasketed lid will provide a fully adequate oxygen barrier for at least a couple years of storage. For even longer term oxygen-free storage, inside your buckets you can also use Mylar liner bags which, when heat-sealed shut around your food, will effectively block oxygen permeation for years and years.

Food writer Maria Speck’s passion for propelling Old World staples such as farro, barley, polenta, and wheat berries to the forefront of new American cooking is beautifully presented in Ancient Grains for Modern Meals. In this inspired and highly personal book, Maria Speck draws on food traditions from across the Mediterranean and northern Europe to reveal how versatile, satisfying, flavorful, and sophisticated whole grains can be.

Rustic but elegant dishes—Creamy Farro with Honey-Roasted Grapes, Barley Salad with Figs and Tarragon-Lemon Dressing, Lamb Stew with Wheat Berries in Red Wine Sauce, and Purple Rice Pudding with Rose Water Dates—are sure to please discerning palates and become favorites in any whole grain repertoire.

Food lovers and health-conscious home chefs alike learn how to integrate whole grains into their busy lives, from quick-cooking quinoa and buckwheat to the slower varieties such as spelt and Kamut. The stunning flavors and lively textures of whole grains are enhanced with natural ingredients such as butter, cream, and prosciutto—in moderation—to create lush Mediterranean-inspired recipes. Maria’s approachable style and generous spirit make this collection of time-honored, updated classics a treasury for today’s cooks.
