Purple Wheat Bread.
The colour comes from pigments known as anthocyanins, which are antioxidants also found in fruits and vegetables like beets and Saskatoon berries. The source of the purple colour traces back to tetraploid wheat that has grown in the highlands of Ethiopia for thousands of years.
I received a handful of grains 8 years ago, planted them in a flowerpot and harvested them in fall. Then, with those grains I seeded them in my garden for two years. We finally had enough to seed for plot of organic plot of landfor propagation in Morinville, Alberta.
The purple wheat is grown organically and milled in-store for the freshest possible quality and taste.
Pain Paysanne
Milled fresh instore on our stone mill using Park Heritage organic grains, this is what every sourdough bread should be. Only three ingredients are used for its fabrication, organic flour, salt and water, that's it. With a long multi days fermentation this is the way Pain au Levain (sourdough breads) have been made in Europe for centuries.
Baked in our stone lined German oven, this loaf is crusty with a delicious firm crumb.
The grains are grown organically In Morinville, Alberta.
