Turkey Red?

Hi all,

 

Can anyone tell me a bit about this heirloom flour?  Never worked with it but have heard it mentioned.  A local grower/miller provides it, and I'm curious.  This would be whole wheat flour.  I have a "Type 65" flour clone-ish I make using Central Mills Beehive and sifted King Arthur WW (not Bob's - I find Bob's too fine to sieve).

Any thoughts, much appreciated.

Stay safe everyone.

Gadjo, THIS LINK is subjective, but my granddaughter and myself rated Turkey Red as the best of 6 different grains during a comparative taste test. Keep in mind that both of us like the strong flavors produced by Red Wheat.

You may find something of interest in this link. Check out both the reviews and the description.

I have made very good bread with it. Below is Maurizio’s 50/50 SD.
