Wheat Grain Hard White Organic 5kg | Sunco Variety
.
This whole wheat grain is the Calibre variety, grown biodynamically by the Edwards family near Murrayville in the Mallee region of north-west Victoria. Calibre is a modern Australian hard wheat selected for reliable yields and strong grain quality, making it well suited to everyday baking and milling.
It is a practical, consistent wheat with good protein performance and broad kitchen versatility.
About the Grain
Calibre is a main-season wheat variety developed as a refinement of earlier Australian hard wheats such as Scepter. It was selected for improved yield stability while maintaining the grain quality expected of hard wheat types.
As a hard wheat, Calibre typically produces flour with good dough strength and elasticity. This makes it suitable for leavened breads, sourdough, and other baking where structure and fermentation tolerance are important.
Supplied as whole grain, it can be milled fresh at home or used whole for sprouting, cooking, or soaking.
About the grower
This wheat is grown by the Edwards family, Barry and Fiona Edwards with their son Blake, on their biodynamic farm near Murrayville in Victoria’s Mallee region, close to the South Australian border.
The Edwards family have been farming biodynamically since 1988 and operate a mixed system of cereals, legumes, and sheep. Their rotation typically alternates peas and wheat, supporting soil health and nutrient balance. Over time, biodynamic practices have increased soil organic matter and improved resilience in a low-rainfall environment.

I’ve been milling my own flour for about two weeks now and absolutely love it! Sovereign Foods was one of the first places to come up when I searched for wheat grain- And I am so glad! It’s so easy to just browse the different wheat types with all the information about each clearly written out.
I have made sandwich rolls and a loaf of sourdough bread all of which tasted so good with the fresh milled calibre grain. This morning I used it to bake a banana bread loaf(pictured) and it tasted amazing! 🥰🤤
Hoping to try some Purple Straw, and Yecora once they’re back in stock.
First time milling
Good product
This grain milled exceptionally well giving delicious and fragrsnt flour. Sourdough culture became extremely active with a much quicker activation. Will buy again.
I would and do , highly recommend Sovereign Foods to friends and family. Customer service is exceptional with easy ordering and delivery. I have ordered a few different wheat grains, one being the ancient Khorasan grain. I home mill the grain to make sourdough. I was recommended the new Calibra hard wheat grain which I have only used once so far but have found the taste delicious and my sourdough turned out well.
I am thankful to Sovereign foods for the quality of their products and that they are biodynamic without sprays or pesticides. I will continue to keep supporting the growers and this company.
This is my second order from this company and it won't be my last. Fresh produce and great service and you are also supporting Aussie farmers, big plus in my books.
Absolutely love this grain. It makes a lovely loaf of bread. I will definately be buying this again.
Great for bread. This wheat really changed the quality of my bread. Definitely recommend.
