What is Soft White Wheat?

All of the Joseph's Grainery brand Soft White Wheat is grown on the gorgeous rolling hills of the Palouse Region.

Soft White Wheat is a cereal grain, often used in baking.  There are several different types of wheat, Soft White Wheat being one of them.  Soft White Wheat, when milled is perfect for making whole grain cookies, cakes and pastries.  It can also be used to make pasta.

Joseph's Grainery Soft White Wheat is a winter wheat, meaning that it is planted in the Fall.  We'll begin planting the 2016 crop soon.  The seed will sprout out of the ground, typically within a week or so of being planted.  The crop will continue to grown and form a beautiful green blanket across the fields.  Come late November when the temperatures start to drop drastically, we start praying for a good snow cover to act as insulation against harsh freezing temperatures.  With a winter crop, this period of dormancy is essential for the plants to produce seed come Spring.

Because Soft White Wheat is so well suited for baking, of course, our favorite thing to do with the grain is to grind it on our stone mill into a beautiful Soft White Whole Wheat Flour.  Joseph's Grainery brand flours all contain the entire whole grain.  We don't take (sift) anything out and we don't add anything.  You'll always get a true whole grain flour from Joseph's Grainery.
