Hard Red Winter Wheat

Hard Red Winter Wheat is a type of wheat harvested in the winter months, primarily grown in the U.S. Great Plains. It has a high protein content, making it ideal for bread, baked goods, and other products that require strong gluten strength. The wheat's reddish color and hard kernel are characteristic features. It typically matures earlier than other wheat varieties, allowing for a winter planting cycle. Its versatility and baking qualities make it a staple in flour production for many traditional bread recipes.
