Amaranth is classified as a seed rather than a grain. Belonging to the family Amaranthaceae, amaranth is gluten-free. It can be used in both sweet and savory dishes.

Amaranth and quinoa are considered ancient grains. Compared to quinoa, amaranth is smaller and possesses a distinctive grassy smell and a nutty, herbal taste. When cooking amaranth, it is added to boiling water and cooked until the liquid is absorbed. For a pilaf, the recommended measurements are 1 cup of amaranth to 1 1/2 cups of water; for cereal, 1 cup of amaranth requires 2 1/2 cups of water.

Amaranth seeds can also be popped and added to baked goods for a unique texture. They can be used in various recipes, including salads, breads, and cookies, for both savory and sweet dishes.

Our coconut extract is the same premium extract we have trusted and used in our own products for decades. It is carefully crafted by soaking the coconut in a blend of alcohol and water. This traditional process gently draws out the pure, unadulterated flavors of the nut resulting in a rich, complex, and truly authentic taste.

When substituting an extract for an essence, you can generally use a 1:1 ratio. For example, if a recipe calls for 1 teaspoon of coconut essence, simply use 1 teaspoon of Schullo Coconut Extract instead. Keep in mind that when baking at higher temperatures, some of the alcohol in the extract may evaporate during cooking, so you may wish to slightly adjust the amount to achieve your desired flavor intensity.

Barley is a versatile grain with a rich history dating back thousands of years. It is not only a great whole grain to add to your kitchen pantry, but also a nutritional powerhouse packed with fiber and essential minerals. Whole (hulled) barley has the inedible outer hull removed from the grain while retaining its fiber-rich bran and endosperm layers.

From enriching soups and salads to serving as a base for warm, comforting risotto, there are countless ways to incorporate barley into your meals. 

Cooking Barley is easy:

• Combine 1 part barley with 3 parts water in a saucepan, adding a pinch of salt, and bring the mixture to a boil

• Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer, and let it cook until it achieves a chewy but tender texture

• Hulled barley needs 50-60 minutes to cook properly.

Our vanilla extract is the same premium extract we have trusted and used in our own products for decades. It is carefully crafted by soaking the vanilla beans in a blend of alcohol and water for up to six months. This traditional process gently draws out the pure, unadulterated flavors of the vanilla bean, resulting in a rich, complex, and truly authentic taste.

When substituting an extract for an essence, you can generally use a 1:1 ratio. For example, if a recipe calls for 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence, simply use 1 teaspoon of Schullo Vanilla Extract instead. Keep in mind that when baking at higher temperatures, some of the alcohol in the extract may evaporate during cooking, so you may wish to slightly adjust the amount to achieve your desired flavor intensity. 

Rye kernels, often known as “rye berries,” consist of about 80-85% starchy endosperm, 2-3% germ, and 10-15% outer bran layers. Unlike most grains, rye contains fiber not only in the bran layers but also in the endosperm.

Rye is a highly nutritious grain with a high fiber content, and is rich in vitamins and minerals. Rye is packed with essential nutrients, particularly phosphorus, magnesium, zinc, iron, and B vitamins. Low on the glycemic index and high in satiety, rye berries are a great choice. 

Cooking instructions:

Rinse the rye in a strainer, for each cup of rye add 3 cups of water, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and simmer for 45-60 minutes until they reach the desired tenderness. Some recipes recommend soaking the rye berries overnight to reduce cooking time and enhance digestibility and nutrient availability, but this step is optional.

Our all-natural orange essence is the same premium essence we have trusted and used in our own products for decades. Schullo All-Natural Orange Essence is a more concentrated form of orange extract, meaning you need to use less to achieve a vibrant citrus flavor. It delivers a stronger flavor in a smaller amount.

Most home baking recipes call for essences as they are more concentrated. For example, if a recipe calls for 1 teaspoon of orange essence, simply use 1 teaspoon of Schullo All-Natural Orange Essence instead. You may wish to slightly adjust the amount to achieve your desired flavor intensity

Chia seeds, derived from the (Salvia Hispanica) plant, have been a staple food for over 5,000 years.

Additionally, they are rich in plant-based protein, containing almost 5 grams per 2-tablespoon serving.

Dried Porchini Mushrooms are prized for their rich, concentrated umami flavor and warm, nutty, slightly smoky aroma. Firm and wrinkled when dry, they become tender and pleasantly chewy once rehydrated. A versatile pantry staple, they add deep, savory flavor to risottos, pastas, sauces, soups.

How to Rehydrate Dried Porcini Mushrooms 

1. Rinse the mushrooms under cool water to remove any surface grit

2. Soak in hot water: Place them in a bowl and cover with hot (not boiling) water.

3. Let sit 15–30 minutes: They will soften and expand as they absorb the liquid.

4. Remove and slice if needed: Lift them out (don’t pour them out) to avoid sediment at the bottom.

5. Save the soaking liquid: Strain it through a fine sieve, coffee filter, or paper towel—this flavorful broth is excellent for soups, risotto, sauces, and stews.

Tip: Use about 1 cup hot water per 1 oz (28 g) dried mushrooms.

Quinoa, an ancient Andean staple, that over the past 5000 years, has been nurtured in the Andean valleys of Bolivia, Ecuador, Chile, and Peru.

Despite being technically a seed, quinoa is recognized as a whole grain and serves as an exceptional source of plant protein and fiber. With about 8 grams of protein and 5 grams of fiber per cup cooked, it stands out for providing a complete protein profile containing all nine essential amino acids. Furthermore, it is a safe gluten-free option for individuals with gluten intolerance.

To cook quinoa, use a ratio of two parts liquid to one-part dry quinoa, similar to cooking rice. Before cooking, rinse the quinoa under cool water using a fine mesh strainer. To enhance the flavor, consider adding herbs or spices such as bay leaves, marjoram, thyme, black pepper, or garlic or onion powder during cooking.
