Hard Red Winter Wheat as a Garden Plant

As its name implies, hard red winter wheat is grown during the winter months. The agriculture zone that you live in will determine what month you plant your wheat, but September or October are popular months to plant it. As long as hard red winter wheat is planted before the first real frost they should still thrive.

Hard red winter wheat should be planted in soil that is moist and well-drained. The wheat seeds should be covered with about 1-2 inches of soil. Hard red winter wheat is harvested around seven to eight months after planting, again, the length of time to harvest will depend on what zone you are in.

Pre-Measured Bags: Each bag is 9 ounces

Popular Uses

History

Hard red winter wheat was introduced to North America by European Mennonites. Initially, winter wheat was imported from Ukraine for planting, until settlers realized how they could cultivate the wheat for midwest climates. Hard red winter wheat was especially valuable because it could overwinter and withstand the harsh temperatures of the Midwest. This wheat gets its name from its husk, which is a dark red color, it is a versatile and hearty wheat.

Health Benefits

Hard red winter wheat has a protein content of nearly 11%. The wheat berries contain a good amount of fiber, which is crucial for balancing blood sugar. Hard red winter wheat contains higher levels of gluten than many other varieties of wheat. The minerals selenium and manganese are present in relatively high amounts, both of which are necessary to support a good foundation of health.
