what is the differance in soft white and hard white wheat, which would probley be the best to get?

Here are the basics:Spring and Winter refer to the time of year the seed is planted.Hard and Soft refer to the volume of gluten in the grain's cellular structure.Hard wheat is higher in protein and gluten, lower in moisture, and absorbs liquid easily; it's considered the ideal variety for yeast breads. Soft wheat is lower in protein and gluten, higher in starch, and more malleable. It's grown mainly in the South and Midwest and works best for non-yeast quick breads. When you see a recipe calling for "pastry flour", it's referring to flour made from soft wheat.Red and White refer to the color of the berry, which indicates more or less fiber and bran. Red wheat has a stronger, heartier flavor and tends to produce a a somewhat denser, coarser bread than white wheat. Graham flour is simply coarsely ground winter wheat.

Is this grown using organic practices of has it been sprayed with pesticides?

The information on the package goes to great lengths to assure the customer of the wholesomeness of the product, however, I do not see the word "organic" anywhere. Perhaps you can find more information at www.palousebrand.com or www.facebook.com/palousebrand Good luck! As an aside, I have used these in cooking (I use them to replace ground meat in recipes, and have made salads with them.) and I have no complaints.

Does palouse use roundup, other herbicides and/or pesticides? non-gmo does not necessarily mean toxin-free, so i am asking to make sure.

How do you know the neighbor farms spray doesn't cross over into your crop? My parents lost a good percentage of their trees because this happened in the palouse.

If I wanted to buy a bag 3 to 4 months before christmas as a gift...would they hold up stored for that long?

Yes it does! I bought it like 3-4months ago and store in room temperature, it still in good condition ( i live in Arizona but AC always on ) . I planted it as grass for my cats & this brand was extremly good quality, all growed up. My cats r happy, i was worried b4 buying this product that what if it not gonna work?!! But it works perfectly!!!

The Highest Quality Soft White Wheat Grains For Grinding

Best organic white soft wheat ever. I love this company! Their products are so fresh and have a great flavor. Very high quality foods. I've been baking and grinding my grain for decades. (Even grew my own hard wheat once.) So I've tried them all. And this is the best. The very best I've ever come across. Now this is Soft White Wheat. You use it for biscuits, pie crust, muffins, pancakes, cookies. NOT yeast bread. You would want Hard White Wheat for yeast bread. Just so you know! I make most things 50% unbleached and 50% soft white wheat. This flour mills up so nice and light I often go 2/3 white wheat or even 100%. If you do soaked grains, then use 100% soft white wheat. Makes outstanding belgian waffles, tortillas and all wheat! You will feel virtuous and your family well fed and happy. Their garbanzos and lentils are also excellent. Anything these guys have, I'm interested. It's nice to have a brand you can trust and believe in.

Excellent clean quality

This is the best company I have found for clean, pest free wheat berries! I have been sprouting white wheat seeds for my budgies and lineolated parakeets for 15 years and this is my third purchase from this company. I have tried various other brands and have experienced continuous problems with bug infestations. It makes me sick to have to throw out a brand new 25 pound expensive bag due to bug infestations, moldy seeds and debris and dust in the bags. Palouse is the first company I have found that provides clean, debris, bug and dust free wheat seeds. Thank you Palouse and please keep your high standards and high quality products! You have a customer for life if you do!

Wheat berries are good, but the plastic bag they come in is bad

The product is good, but the bag it comes in, some kind of woven plastic, leaves of bits of plastic in wheat berries.
