Soft wheat
Common wheat from Integrated and Organic Production
Soft wheat is particularly suitable for the production of flour for bread and pasta, and there are several types commercially available that are suitable for the product to be prepared. The milling industry absorbs much of the product for the reduction of flours used in breadmaking.In addition to flour, starch, puffed foods for dietetics and, after fermentation, alcohol are also obtained. With modern milling techniques, the germ is separated from the caryopsis of wheat, from which wheat germ oil can be made, used mainly in the production of soaps.
