Mancan is a mid-season buckwheat that was developed at the Agriculture Canada Research Station, Morden, Manitoba in 1973. It has a seed size 26% larger than the standard Tokyo variety. We mill the whole buckwheat with the hull on, and then sift to remove approximately 85% of the crushed hull material. What remains is a lightly speckled flour that retains the flavor and complexity of the hull without the gritty texture. Our Mancan buckwheat is grown by two brothers in Trilla, IL.

Mancan Buckwheat

Egyptian Hulless Barley was domesticated at the beginnings of farming in the Fertile Crescent, along with Einkorn and Emmer. In Egypt barley became so important a staple that it was celebrated as a symbol of Upper Egypt.
		
Barleys are officially (FDA) Heart Healthy due to their beta-glucan that lowers blood cholesterol and reduces the glycemic index. 

The maltose in barley makes for the fine flavor of barley flour, with which you can bake just about anything including rising bread, if you add any of our other hard red winter wheat flours. Use in recipes to make healthy, strongly aromatic foods. Also great for brewing!

Turkey Red can be tracked to Crimea between the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov in the early 19th century and earlier to Turkey to the south of the Black Sea. Mennonite immigrants brought it to the United States in the early 1870s, introducing the areas surrounding Marian, Reno an dHarvey Counties in Kansas. It became the dominant hard red winter wheat in Kansas and throughout the Great Plains in the 1920s.

Turkey Red Wheat

Red Fife originated in the Ukraine and was brought to Ontario by farmer DAvid Fife in 1840. Red Fife was then grown in the US by Winconsin farmer J.W. Clarke in 1860 and remained popular for several decades. Despite the low protein percentage, it makes a strong dough and works well in pizza or bread, and 65% extraction and '00' work very well for pastry applications. 
		
This varieth exhibits the strongest wheat flavor of our offerings and is a mill favorite. Our Red Fife was grown in Tokio, TX.

Sonora is one of the oldest surviving wheat varieties anywhere in North America. Predating Red Fife and Turkey Red wheat, it is a soft white, round winter wheat with pale red grains. While earliest records document its existence in the mountain plains of Sonora, Mexico in the early 1700s, the wheat surely predates that era by generations. It was widely planted in California in the early 1800s.

Sonora has a nutty, buttery flavor well suited for richly flavored breads, pastries and piecrusts. Grown in Lamesa, TX.

Ethiopian Blue-Tinge Emmer is one of three ancient grains (along with einkorn and spelt) that constitute farro, first cultivated 9,600 BC in the Fertile Crescent. 

Emmer has different gluten molucules from wheat, and can't be used alone to make a rising bread. However, the applications for this delicious and uniquely flavored grain are endless--mixing this flour with any of our hard red winter wheat flours for fast rising yeast breads. It also makes great pasta, and is great cooked as a whole grain breakfast cereal. Additionally, Emmer is an antioxidant and a great source of protein.

Ethiopian Blue-Tinge Emmer

Einkorn (from German, meaning literally "single grain") wheat was one of the first plants to be domesticated and cultivated. The earliest clear evidence of the domestication of Einkorn dates from 8,650 BC to 7,950 BC. Einkorn is like most plants in that it is a diploid meaning it contains 2 sets of chromosomes. About 2,000 years after einkorn wheat, emmer was created by the hybridization of 2 wild grasses. Consequently, Emmer has 4 sets of chromosomes. 

Einkorn has a higher percentage of protein than modern red wheats and is considered more nutritious because it also has higher levels of fat, phosphorus, potassium, pyridoxine, and beta carotene.

This is a mild rye. If you are looking for a strong rye, try our Danko Rye.

Protein:  Protein % is not indicative of rye’s baking performance, therefore we do not test for it.  

Flavor profile: subtly sweet, but still good for savory applications

Hulless Oats

We are an artisan mill, specializing in stone-milled heirloom and landrace grains. Many of these were grown here in Texas in the early 1900s, and we are now working with Texas farmers to grown them here once again.

All of our farmers utilize sustainable organic practices. We actively participate in the process, acting as our own seedsmen, providing seed stock directly to our farmers. The resulting crops come straight from the combine to our door. We then mill on demand for our wholesale customers, retail, and Austin area farmers' markets.

We offer whole grains and a wide array of whole grain and sifted flours for all baking, culinary, brewing, and distilling needs.
