Description

Compared to hard red wheat, soft winter red wheat is relatively low in protein, making it an excellent choice for bakers looking for soft pastries and breads. Coarsely ground, this wheat is also used to make pasta and muesli. It is characterized by being softer and easier to grind than durum wheat. Like other red varieties, Soft Red Winter Wheat has a reddish husk, resulting in a slightly darker flour than alternative flours. The wheat market in Brazil has grown in recent years. Brazil's wheat production for the 2021/2022 crop year is forecast to be around 8.4 million tonnes, the highest in the past decade. Brazil is a major importer of wheat, but it also exports wheat. In fiscal year 2021/2022, Brazil exported 2 million tonnes of wheat.
