This bread flour in not from an heirloom wheat and is not certified organic. Look under our wheat tab for Red Fife wheat (and flour) for an organic, heirloom option.

Hard Red Spring (HRS) wheat makes some of the best bread flour in the world. Though Illinois is a little too far south and usually a little too wet to be considered an ideal environment for bread wheat, we've found a variety (Glenn) that is respectable when grown here. It's a good taste, and popular with some Europeans, but a bit overpowering for most Americans if used straight. For most applications I suggest cutting it with another type of flour (or using our premixed All Purpose Flour) because of its strong flavor.

Our sifted hard spring wheat flour (around 80% extraction) has a substantial amount of bran and germ left in it (indicated by it's tan/light brown color), which allows the strong taste of this variety to still come through.

A hard red spring (HRS) bread wheat popular in Canada from around 1860 until the early 1900s, when it was replaced by better yielding varieties (though not better tasting). An heirloom variety that pre-dates the intensive breeding that occurred during the "green revolution" of the 1940s and 1950s.

Certified organic

Red Fife has less gluten than our HRS (Glenn) variety, and is therefore harder to make into bread. However, it is heirloom, certified organic and I feel has a superior flavor.

Purple Straw wheat is thought to be the secret ingredient to old time Southern biscuits. A variety of wheat from the 1700s, pre-dating the Revolutionary War, was popular in the "South" until it was crowded out by better yielding modern wheat varieties in the 20th century.

Fifteen pounds of grain in a printed cotton bag instead of plastic. This is a food grade cotton bag, but it is not made of organic cotton. Therefore, once the grain is placed in this bag, it is no longer considered certified organic.

We will still place the cotton bag inside another plastic bag for protection from the weather during shipping (unless you email us and ask otherwise).
