About Wheat Pudding

Wheat Pudding

Wheat pudding is a creamy, comforting dessert made from whole or cracked wheat grains simmered slowly in milk (or water), sweetened with sugar or jaggery, and delicately flavored with warm spices like cardamom and cinnamon. As the wheat cooks, it softens and releases starches, giving the pudding a rich, velvety texture.

Often garnished with nuts like almonds, pistachios, or cashews and sometimes raisins or dried fruits, wheat pudding balances wholesome earthiness with gentle sweetness. It is popular in many cultures particularly in Middle Eastern, South Asian, and Mediterranean cuisines and is enjoyed both warm and chilled, often during festive occasions or as a nourishing treat.
