Grain of the Month

Our signature grain is hard spring white wheat and so it is fitting that our first official grain of the month be the grain we use the most. It is favored by so many because it is a 100% whole grain that is lighter in color, taste, and texture and yet nutritionally the same as red wheat. Our organic hard spring white wheat has over 15% protein with less than 9.5% moisture which is ideal for bread making. White whole wheat is considered the albino wheat by the Whole Grains Council. White wheat is ideal for transitioning from using white, nutritionless flour to fabulous 100% whole-grain flour. It is wheat that children will eat.

We offer the organic wheat in whole wheat berries (kernels) or flour. We can also grind the wheat for you while you wait providing you "freshly milled" flour.

Hard spring white whole wheat can be used for more than simply baking bread.
  • Crack white whole wheat in your blender and make cream of wheat cereal,
  • Add white whole wheat to any dish and increase the health benefits,
  • Add white whole wheat and save money by extending the dish,
  • Sprout it and unlock the amazing nutrients present in wheat,
  • Make your own garden burgers and sausage (wheat meat).
  • See our recipe section on The Grain Market website for more ideas.
  • Attend a Grain Market class to learn more (classes are listed at www.thegrainmarket.com) If you do not see a class you like, let us know and we will create one for you.
The uses and benefits of white whole wheat are extensive. Just use it!
