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.
