A “landrace” is an old-world approach to growing wheat; where the grain naturally evolves over time in a specific region, shaped by local soils, climates, and farming methods. These landraces aren’t single varieties, but diverse populations of wheat that adapt to their environment, developing resilience to things like drought, pests, and disease. This particular Landrace is early in its development, and you can see the different varieties of wheat throughout the bag. Over time, these varieties will cross pollinate and natural selection will create a single variety suited to Burrum.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(48, 76, 69);\"\u003eThis \u003ci\u003eHotscotch Landrace\u003c\/i\u003e mix is a \u003cstrong\u003eblend\u003c\/strong\u003e of rare, \u003cstrong\u003ehard purple wheats\u003c\/strong\u003e you won’t find in your average bag of flour:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(48, 76, 69);\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePurple Abyssinian\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(48, 76, 69);\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePurple Kernel Durum\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(48, 76, 69);\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eEthiopian Wheat (Triticum aethiopicum)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(48, 76, 69);\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAUS Wheat\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(48, 76, 69);\"\u003eGrown and harvested here in Australia, these grains are ideal for home milling and slow-fermentation baking. \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe result?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e A richly coloured, flavour-packed flour with deep heritage roots and modern performance.
