Tropical Traditions Organic Soft White Winter Wheat

Tropical Traditions White Winter Wheat

I have been reviewing products from Tropical Traditions for a few years now, and this Soft White Winter Wheat is one of my favorites! I recently got a grain mill from NutriMill as part of the Grain Mill Wagon Challenge, so the timing for receiving this wheat was perfect. I wasn’t sure I would like grinding my own flour, but now I am convinced it is the best way to go.  The flour is so fresh it makes a huge difference in how the food tastes.

This soft winter wheat is best for baked goods like muffins and cookies.  It is lower in protein and gluten than standard wheat, so it makes a very light flour.  If you buy it already ground it is usually called “Pastry Flour”, because it is perfect for baked goods.
