What it is

Organic Hard Red Wheat is a variety of wheat grain grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. It is a staple grain used primarily for milling into flour. The 'hard' refers to its high protein content, making it ideal for baking.

Why it's used

Hard red wheat flour is a primary ingredient in breads, rolls, and other baked goods due to its gluten-forming properties, which provide structure and chewiness. It is also used in cereals and some pasta products.

Health notes

Wheat is a common food ingredient and is generally recognized as safe by the FDA. It is a source of dietary fiber, B vitamins, and minerals. Whole wheat contains more nutrients than refined flour. The WHO and other international bodies have evaluated wheat and its components. Some individuals have celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity, which requires avoiding wheat and gluten.

Allergen info

Wheat is one of the 9 major allergens designated by the FDA. It contains gluten, a protein that can cause adverse reactions in individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
