Wheat, Sonoran White

Always Open-Pollinated and Unpatented
  • $5.00

Description

Triticum aestivum

Earthy and esteemed awnless heirloom wheat with a rich history.  

The first wheat known to have grown in the United States. Grown first by missionaries in the southwest in the 1600s for communion wafers by early missionaries, it found popularity among Indigenous farmers for tortillas. This is a hardy, adaptable, and drought-tolerant fall-sown variety that can perform well in a diversity of growing regions. A cornerstone of the heritage grains renaissance.

Heritage wheats are often better tolerated by folks with gluten allergies than modern varieties. They are also more genetically diverse and therefore more adaptable to a diversity of growing regions.

Fun fact: wheat has a genome five times the size of the human genome! Hooray for heritage wheat!
