Hard red winter wheat berries from Wheat Montana are whole kernels with a nutty flavor, chewy texture, and a slightly lower protein content than spring wheat. That lower protein yields a crispier crust and better yeast fermentation, while the berries deliver fiber, iron, zinc, magnesium, and B and E vitamins.
