Organic Red Fife Heirloom Flour

$6.85 Regular Price

  • Product Info

    Red Fife has deeper, more complex flavors than common hard red winter wheats, and breads made with it bake up moister, with a cohesive crumb. Because Red Fife has high gluten potential, it can be used by itself or mixed with low gluten flours such as rye.

    Red Fife wheat’s origin is unknown, but it is believed that Mennonite farmers in Poland grew the wheat that was shipped to David Fife, a Scottish immigrant in Canada, in the mid-1800s. Fife then grew the wheat and shared it with other farmers, calling it Red Fife because of its distinctive color. Red Fife set the baking and milling standards from the 1860s to the turn of the 20th century, and has been placed on the Slow Food Foundation for Biodiversity’s “Ark of Taste." It is thought to be a relative of Halychanka, a Ukrainian Heritage wheat, prized for its rich flavors and excellent baking qualities.

Red Fife who knew!

Who knew? I know I just found out. My first order from Janie's Mill included Red Fife with an assortment of other flours. Made a 70% High Protein Bread Flour and 30% Red Fife loaf that the aroma and taste was fantastic! Its so good I cant stop making it and giving out to family and neighbors. Wonderful flour. Great Job Janie's Mill, I will be switching to your flours. Thanks
