Are these all Whole Grains or will their be any amount of broken or cracked grains?

A lot of them had cracks and turned to a bad mush after trying to use them. I had a replacement sent but still the same, most likely the shipping hot/cold

These are whole. I split each bean open with a knife and scraped the inside out. Hope that answered your question.

Hi, Not sure if they are tempered - good question for the manufacturer; I have not had a problem with breakage.

As far as I know, however, I have not dropped one. I use them a lot and no chips or cracks.

It has a pretty broad range from really fine to very coarse. I've never used it for cracking grains, but I think it would work.

Yes, I would think so. I have never tried other grains or seeds, but I grind wheat into a very fine flour, and rice is a similar grain. I have trouble telling the difference between flour ground on the coarse setting and flour ground on the fine setting. This mill will not make grits!

I would get them from a trusted source. I usually get mine from Whole Foods.

Yes. At least 2-3 capsules (sometimes more) are pulverized (not just cracked) in each box. This is unacceptable!

These grains came in a small amount of kefir/milk and could immediately be placed in milk to make kefir. They were in a sealed plastic bag - no leakage, and arrived very promptly and I've been using the strain from them for several weeks now. If you are looking for grains for water kefir I don't know if these would work!

Yes they are. And when you order another container for grain grinding or whatever, it contains a blade.

They are freeze-dried patties ~they arrived packed so well that very few were broken. I cannot describe them as "fresh" because they are quite freeze-dried... but yes, they are "good".

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.

Not really. I'm not sure where half our food comes from. I've ordered these several times. About to place another order. Thought about ordering another brand, but as they say, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it. I love these chestnuts. I will probably never cook another chestnut again. :-)

Mine have not cracked, however, I stopped using them after about 3 batches of ice cream.

Mine have not cracked or broken. If you intentionally tried to break them you could probably do it. I've bent them and they have never cracked.

It is 100% whole grain. I have been using it for more than a year and I am very satisfied.

It says 100% ground sesame seeds on the package so I would say they are not toasted.
