</span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">After my last bread class at Preparing Wisely in Mesa, Arizona, I realized it would be a good idea to start posting a lot more Grain education. &nbsp;It's an amazing area to expand your culinary know-how. &nbsp;</span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">
</span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Are you befuddled? Many would look at this collection of grains and wonder what the heck-fire they all are and what to do with them! Well, never you worry! Chef Tess will help you get a grasp of basic grain surgery! If you missed some of my most basic recipes for grain along with many tutorials, look&nbsp;<a href="http://cheftessbakeresse.blogspot.com/p/grain-surgery-101.html">here</a>&nbsp;. We'll be doing a lot with whole grain...a lot more than you've seen! I'm also going to be referring you to my friend&nbsp;<a href="http://www.chefbrad.com/index.php">Chef Brad Petersen</a>, since I'll be working with him and his whole grain flour line a lot more (Details to follow...)</span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">
</span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I'm starting today with just showing what the grains look like and then we'll cover how to cook with them more in depth. I hope everyone is okay with learning this step by step. I think it's a good way to go.</span>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">&nbsp;Let's start at the very beginning...a very good place to start. &nbsp;Oh have mercy. Try not to imagine me in the Sound of Music with a gaggle of kids in front of me wanting to listen to me strum my guitar. Instead...think of the smallest grains of sheer AwEsOmeNeSS...and you will have these two buddies. &nbsp;Auntie Amaranth and her friend Teff.</span>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">
</span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This is Amaranth. It's one of the smallest grains out there. Amaranth! Pop it and you're addicted...like crack..but healthy. See, I say popping amaranth and it sounds like a new drug huh? &nbsp;Well, if so...it looks like this.</span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">&nbsp;Yet smaller is Teff. Teff came to us from Ethiopia where there are several thousand wild varieties. We only have two colors so far...but it's awesome stuff.&nbsp;</span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It also takes 150 grains of Teff to equal on grain of wheat...so it's smaller than heck! Heck is small...</span>
