East End Crushed Wheat – 20x400g

Description

E.E. Crushed Wheat (Labsi): cracked wheat for comforting porridge, upma and pilafs.

Crushed wheat, called labsi, lapsi or daliya in South Asian kitchens, is wheat grain broken into smaller pieces so it cooks faster than whole wheat. East End Foods supplies it as 20×400 g, meaning twenty 400g packs in a case, a format that suits a busy kitchen batching breakfasts as well as a household keeping a steady supply. It cooks into a soft, porridge like grain that works in both sweet and savoury dishes.

Key Features

• Twenty 400g packs per case, easy to portion and rotate
• Cracked wheat that cooks quicker than whole grains
• Works sweet as daliya porridge or savoury as upma, khichdi and pilaf
• A filling source of fibre and slow release energy (verify figures on pack)
• Consistent East End Foods quality trusted in South Asian cooking

Serving and cooking: rinse, then simmer with water or milk until soft, usually 15 to 25 minutes depending on the dish, stirring so it does not catch. For sweet daliya, cook with milk, sugar or jaggery and cardamom. For savoury upma, toast the grain, then cook with tempered spices, onions and vegetables. A pressure cooker speeds things up.

Storage

keep in a cool, dry place away from moisture and pantry pests. After opening, transfer to an airtight container and use by the date on pack.
