Hard red winter wheat is the most common variation of wheat grown in the US. The majority of it is grown in the Midwest Plains states. Like all winter wheat, it is planted in the fall and grows only a few inches until winter causes it to go dormant.
It is known as 0red wheat0 because of its reddish hued husk. The berries appear somewhat darker than most whites. With a protein content of about 10.5%, it is quite versatile as a general purpose flour. Winter wheats often produce a higher yield of berries, depending on time of sowing. Hard winter wheats can also have higher gluten content than spring varieties.
