Hard Red Whole Wheat | Variety: Octane

Grown organically by Fritz Durst in Capay, CA

Octane is a hard red wheat introduced in 2019. The phenols from the bran give this wheat a bronze color and rich, robust flavor, making it ideal for rustic sourdoughs, quickbreads, and pie crusts. Bay Area artisanal bakers have blended our Patwin and Summit flours for years and now we've begun offering Octane to continue that flavorful and nutritious mixture of whole grain goodness. Use these whole kernels (also known as wheat "berries") for home milling flour or in soups and salads. 

Protein: 10.5–12%. At Community Grains, we are learning that protein percentage does not equal protein functionality. It starts with the quality of the soil.

Identity Preserved takes Community Grains’ commitment to transparency to the next level. Our 23 Points of Identity tell the whole story. Enter the batch # (found on the back of your bag of kernels) on our site for detailed information about the wheat variety, and how it was grown and stored.
