12 Lbs. USDA-Certified Organic Heirloom Turkey Red Winter Wheat Berries

Description: 12 Lbs. Heirloom Variety Turkey Red~~Hard Red Winter Wheat Berries. USDA Certified Organic. This heirloom variety wheat is grown, harvested and packaged on our farm in Southwest Nebraska and is now USDA Certified Organic. As we use our wheat to bake our family's bread, we do NOT use fungicides, pesticides or herbicides. This means no glyphosate. Because Turkey Red is not a hybridized variety, it may be easier for people with a gluten intolerance (excluding people with celiac disease) to digest and it will grow true from seed--year after year. Turkey Red Wheat was brought to Kansas in the 1870s by German immigrants from the Ukraine while the westward expansion of America was in full swing. These immigrants filled their steamer trunks with the wheat they grew in Russia--Turkey Red. This became the primary wheat variety in America, grown until the mid-1940s, when it was replaced by higher-yielding hybrids. Most of today's hybrid varieties came from Turkey Red. During the time that Turkey Red ruled in the U.S.A.--from 1875 to 1945--Alexander Graham Bell made the first telephone call and the world went thru a major depression and experienced two world wars.
