Organic Hard Red Winter (Turkey Red) Wheat

Our Hard Red Winter (HRW) wheat is an old heirloom variety that originated in the Middle East country of Turkey, before it came to America and made wheat the dominate crop in Kansas. It is included in the Slow Foods Ark of Taste and has a long and interesting history you can search/read about starting at the Mennonite Heritage and Agricultural Museum or the History Channel. It makes a good tasting flour for general purposes and can also be used to make some forgiving yeast breads. It's taste is much milder than our HRS. The seed line we started with is thought to have originally come from Yoder, Kansas, close to where the Mennonites originally introduced it from Turkey in the 1800's.

This high extraction (about 80%) sifted flour is good to use if you want to transition from conventional white all purpose flour to stone ground flour.
