Cracked Grains
To make cracked grains at home, put grains in a blender (mixer),
pulse blend and stop when required size is reached. Do not fully powder the
grain. Soaking the cracked grain is better than just using it as
it is. All grains can be cracked to smaller size and used.
Cracked wheat, rice, and corn are available in the market too. The only
advantage of making it at home (it takes only a few minutes) is that you can
be sure of using whole grains.
