Red Spring Wheat Flour

This is beautiful wheat. It's not even dusty. (The wheat I was using before was HORRID by comparison; I had to sift through it by hand to check for bits of dirt and even small rocks, there were a lot of broken grains, and there were little dead bugs. When I received THIS wheat and opened the bag, there was such a difference that I took that old wheat and threw it out on the lawn!) The grains are pleasingly full, never withered. There are very few broken grains. I found a few stray kernels of a tiny buckwheat-like grain, but those won't hurt anything. NO ROCKS or other non-grain contaminants whatsoever. It is very well cleaned. There were a few un-husked wheat kernels, maybe 1-3 in the nine cups of wheat I put through my mill to make three loaves of bread. It was easy enough to spot them and pick them out by hand, and the ones I miss do no harm. The bread I produced with this wheat, using the same recipes I always do from the excellent "Laurel's Kitchen Bread Book" (ISBN 978-0394537009), was simply outstanding, especially when baked in USA Pans ("8.5 x 4.5 Inch Aluminized Steel Loaf Pan with Americoat"). The wheat is high in gluten and produces high-rising, flavorful loaves. I'm sure the specific flavor and gluten content varies from crop to crop, but I was very satisfied with this particular bag of wheat. I have used ALL of it except for a handful that is sitting in a pickle jar, and am back to order more. **Update January 2014** I ordered the 50-pound bag in December '13, since I had been happy with the 25-pound bag and had gone through it so quickly. I don't know why, but it is not nearly as clean as the wheat in the 25-pound bag was. I picked out maybe 1/8 to 1/4 tsp of hard little dirt chunks (plus one small chunk of either asphalt or rock!) from a six-cup batch of wheat. I miss being able to just give the wheat a quick check and then dump it in the mill.

This is a great product.Unfortunately I bought the wrong one.I needed the white berry.Still using it and it is truly a clean great product.I commend their efforts to make it this way.

This grain looks so good! On time delivery, even around the winter storm. I purchased rye and hard red then ground a small amount to make a starter from scratch. Over night I couldn't see much activity. I fed it anyway because I had faith and there they are, bubbles. Now three days in and increased feeding schedule, every 4 to 6hrs I'm ready to bake. Great grains.

I mill it and the flour is great, taste wonderful for bread.

I can't speak to baking with this wheat, since I only use it to grow wheatgrass for my chickens and rabbits. But what I can say is that it performs wonderfully, with almost all seeds germinating. I've tried other suppliers with mixed success. This company's seeds always seem to be better than others. They are very clean too. I've had some others filled with dust, which isn't a huge deal for my purposes, but if I was using the seed for personal consumption, might be unpleasant. Very pleased, and I use a LOT of it. Chickens and rabbits love this fresh grown grass. You get a lot of feed out of a small amount of seed and water. My chickens eat every scrap, roots and all. Some rabbits can be a little fussier about the roots. Every morning, they are lined up waiting for their grass. Even though they have feeders full of pellets. This is candy to them. My egg yolks are as dark as oranges, even in winter.

Excellent product. White grain is best for AP flour in my opinion. Great taste in muffins and pancakes.

Beautiful clean wheat that would be wonderful for bread making. I purchased to grow and find it slow to germinate, but it does if you soak before planting. Arrived quickly, clean, and fresh smelling. Normal size and function for wheat. Paper sack which is risky for shipping and storage but good for composting. I stored into a plastic container to keep fresh and dry. Great buy for organic, a little expensive but worth it!
