• How long does the wheat last?

• Do wheat berries spoil?

  • The most common way to tell if they have gone bad is by using your senses. If you notice that your once fresh grains have changed in color, texture or odor then this can mean that your grains have spoiled 

  • We ship our wheat in thick plastic pails to protect from moisture, bugs and oxygen.

• What is the difference between hard red wheat and hard white wheat?

  • The terms “red” and “white” are used to identify the color of the kernel. Hard Red Wheat has a reddish hue to the bran (exterior layer) of the kernel. In comparison, Hard White Wheat has a sandy-beige color to its bran.

• Is there a flavor difference between hard red wheat and hard white wheat?

  • Yes, there is a flavor difference between hard red and hard white wheat.
