A certified organic spring Einkorn wheat that has a nice flavor and works as a substitute for All Purpose or Pastry flour, but needs some help if using it for yeast breads.

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).

This Hard Red Spring (Bread) Wheat (variety=GLENN) has a bit of a strong taste to it and is usually used for making breads.

NOT an heirloom wheat

Available as:

• Berries
• Whole Flour
• Sifted Flour
• Clear First Flour

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.
