Hard Red Wheat — Organic Grain

Hard Red Wheat is the backbone of traditional American bread baking — high in protein and gluten, with a robust, earthy flavor that feeds sourdough starters and gives rustic loaves their characteristic chew and crust. The darker bran adds nutty depth that stands up to strong flavors like seeds, olives, and aged cheese. Use it for thick pizza crusts, hearty sourdough, whole wheat sandwich bread, and pretzels. One of the best grains for maintaining an active sourdough starter. Good for: sourdough, rustic breads, pizza crusts, feeding starters. All grains are locally sourced, organic, and from non-sprayed fields at Ballenger Farm & Homestead.
