Hard White Wheat, Organic

When it comes to hard white wheat, whether you grind it to make your own flour or simply cook and add it to a favorite dish, by eating the entire grain – bran, germ, and endosperm – you are getting the very best nutrition the plant has to offer. In contrast, packaged refined white flour removes the bran and germ and with them go the fiber, healthy fats, vitamin E, plant phytochemicals and most of the B vitamins and minerals. 

Hard white wheat berries, when ground into flour, are the best choice for light colored breads and are commonly favored for sandwich bread, artisan loaves, pizza crust, cinnamon rolls, and pretzels. When compared to soft white wheat berries (better choice for pastries), hard wheat berries have a harder endosperm (where most of the protein resides) and thus a higher protein content. This is why hard white wheat is ideal for bread flour – because the proteins (mixed with water) produce strong gluten.
