The history of Turkey Red: In the 1800s, German immigrants from the Ukraine settled in Kansas bringing with them trunks loaded with Turkey Red Wheat berries. For many years, Turkey was the predominant wheat grown in the mid-west until newer, higher yielding hybrids gained popularity. Now Turkey is again being sought after for its unique taste, high protein qualities and the possibility that it may be better tolerated by people with gluten intolerance (non-celiacs.)
 
Allergy Alert: May be prepared in an area that also contains milk, egg, fish, crustacean shell fish, tree nuts, peanuts, soybeans and wheat and wheat gluten.
 
Packaging:
We vacuum-pack our wheat by flushing the oxygen from the bag with food-grade carbon dioxide which is found naturally in the atmosphere and is completely safe. We use the same type of carbon dioxide that makes pop fizzy! The bags are then heat-sealed. This is an excellent method for people who are interested in long-term storage. We have been doing this over 20 years and have never had bugs or molds of any type. The food-grade carbon dioxide removes all the oxygen while the heat-sealing technique we use keeps them out! ​​
 
STORAGE: Grains keep best when stored in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place.
 
******Customers from territories outside the U.S.: We are unable to ship to territories outside of the United States due to the extra regulations and costs involved in shipping grain. We apologize for the inconvenience.
