It builds the soil with it's almost perennial root system while it's stems provide food for the sheep. Organically grown on my farm since 2001, it is believed to be the first wheat brought to the Americas. Proud to learn that it has now made it onto Slow Food's Ark of Taste list. Heroically reintroduced to us all by Monica Spiller. After which on this farm the initial seed increases were made that allowed for seeds to be made available to interested farmers around the US.

Flours ground from this variety are very high in flavor and many of my customers mix it with regular organic flour as added flavor. The most popular being 20% this flour 80% all purpose or bread flour for bread baking. That little bit really can be tasted. I love the pure Sonora for shortbread cookies, pie crusts, waffles, biscuits, hotcakes, crepes and cupcakes and cakes. It’s lower protein content as well as the different gluten (the gluten in heirloom grains is different in some fundamental way) make up allow one to produce wonderful baked goods where modern gluten is really not an asset.

I have a Wolfgang Mock stone mill that was worth every penny of it’s $600+ price more than a decade and a half ago. They are more modestly priced these days. Here is a link to their site: https://mockmill.us. Grinding grains oneself fresh is really amazing. My advice is to keep the grain frozen so that any heat generated by the milling is not enough to denature any nutrients or flavor compounds. Here is what Slow Food USA has written about this wonderful grain: https://slowfoodusa.org/white-sonora-wheat/

My wonderful customer Stafford Dean reports that on his kitchen stone mill every cup of whole berries produces 2 cups of flour. He did the math and reports that the twenty pound bag of whole berries should  produce 94 cups of flour.
