Purple Straw Wheat (Triticum aestivum v. Purple Straw) is an heirloom wheat. When Purple Straw Wheat is milled, it produces soft flour with a low gluten content. This makes it a wonderful flour to use for pastries, pie crusts, pancakes, and gravies. Its distinctive baking qualities are one of the characteristics that make Purple Straw Wheat stand out from other wheat varieties.
This grain has been supplied to us by our friends Stephen and Tania Walter at Burrum Biodynamics in Marnoo, Victoria. In 2019, Steve and Tan took some grains from the Horsham Genebank to trial some new grains. After a couple of years of hand harvesting, in 2023 they were finally able to harvest with their equipment.

Customer Reviews
I am very new to this and keen to learn about different grains, and the very first thing I have learned is that grinding your own you get all the nutrition , and all that flavour you don't get when you buy bread.
I am very happy to buy locally and support the locals, the end result is I get quality product , and I'm sure we all benefit from that.
I love the texture and flavor of purple Straw. I have used it in mulberry muffins and pancakes. Both a huge success
