Love this hard red wheat!

Made some yummy milled bread and muffins with this wheat. So good. My family is hooked.

"Best bread you've ever made"

I've been making whole wheat bread for over 10 years. I bought the Yecora Rojo wheat berries..milled them...and made two loaves. My wife said this was the best bread I've ever made.

Clean and fresh, great results in my sourdough bread.

Disappointed, no baking spice

I had been really looking forward to these, as I’ve recently developed an allergy to cinnamon and miss the flavor a lot. I specifically sought these berries out, because I was told they have a baking spice flavor to them. I’ve made a few different breads with them, but I don’t taste or smell any cinnamon or baking spice essence at all :( There’s nothing wrong with the bread they make, but for such an expensive berry I was expecting it to taste or smell as advertised.

Hi Sarah! We hope the 2024 Rouge harvest you recieved hit all the right cinnamon notes in your recent bakes. If not, feel free to reach out to us again at retail@bartonspringsmill.

Love this stuff!

The title says it all!!! And now, I am experimenting with the berries...

Great ‘00’ alternative for sourdough bread

I usually make my two-loaf sourdough batch with 65-75% white flour (King Arthur or Bob’s). Acquired Stardust (and Tam 105) to experiment as substitutes. Used about 40% Stardust, 20% Tam 105, 15% organic white. The remainder Red Fife whole wheat. Mix was easy, hydration requirements (75%) about the same. Dough quality very smooth and extensible. Flavor excellent: nutty and wheaty, great crumb, chewy crust. Finished color was lovely. Can’t wait to open my Yecora Rojo and Butlers Gold for the next batch

nice that it's ancient grain

I appreciate that it's an ancient grain. However, I cooked it for an hour and a half, and it was still kind of grainy in texture. Not what I expected from polenta. I would use it in other cornmeal recipes.

Best whole wheat flower EVER!!!!
Transforms my sourdough!!!!
