Popped Wheat Treat

Popped Wheat Treat

Boil whole wheat until kernels are plump, tender, and begin to split.  Drain wheat and rinse.  Remove excess water by rolling wheat on a cloth or paper towel.

In a heavy kettle, heat vegetable oil to 360 degrees.  Put small amount of wheat (about 1 1/2 cups) in a wire basket or strainer and deep fry in hot oil for 1 1/2 minutes or until popping ceases.  Drain on absorbent paper.

Variations
Season with salt, seasoned salt, garlic, barbecue salt, onion salt, celery salt, cinnamon and sugar or any combination you desire.  These morsels are great on salads as a topping, mixed with trail mix, or as toppings for desserts or just as a snack.
