Wheat varieties in Canada
Canada boasts a rich climate that nurtures wheat prairies, where both durum (T. durum) and non-durum or common wheat (T.aestivum) grow.
Here are popular varieties from both species:
1. Canada Eastern Red Spring: a hard scarlet-tinged spring grain. It is great for baking.
2. Canada Eastern Hard Red Winter: this scarlet-tinged grain is the same as the spring variety only that it thrives during winter. It is good for milling grades that make flat breads and noodles.
3. Canada Eastern Soft Red Winter: a low protein, scarlet-tinged winter grain. It is good for making crackers, cakes and biscuits.
4. Canada Eastern Amber Durum: durum species with at least three milling grades. It is a great semolina-making kitchen companion.
5. Canada Eastern White Winter: this is a soft beige-tinged type that can make cakes and pastry. It is low in protein, however.
