Hard Red Wheat vs Soft White Wheat

By Hklbrries

Red, white and wheat? Joseph’s Grainery (Colfax, WA) sells two different kinds of wheat grown on the Palouse. If you’ve never cooked or baked with anything other than all-purpose flour, hard red wheat versus soft white wheat might be a mystery. The grains are named for the color of the kernels, not the flour they produce.

Hard red wheat has a higher protein content and is best suited for breads and artisan loaves of bread.

Soft white wheat is lower in protein and often used for baking pastries, cakes, flat breads and crackers.
