About Hard wheat

Hard wheat is wheat described by the hardness of its kernels. The record does not specify a cultivar, milling grade, or whether the grain is whole, cracked, or milled into flour, so those forms should not be assumed.

It is encountered as a grain or as a flour ingredient in food production and cooking. Kernel hardness affects the physical characteristics of the grain and its milling behaviour; appearance and texture depend on whether it is whole or processed. The name alone does not specify a finished food use.
