A historic heritage wheat brought from Russia to the American Midwest by Mennonite farmers in the late 1800s, Turkey Red helped turn the plains of Kansas into America’s breadbasket.

With its nutty, slightly sweet flavor and warm golden hue, Turkey Red lends a hearty, wholesome character to breads and baked goods, a true taste of rustic prairie charm and America’s early breadmaking heritage.

Grown regeneratively without pesticides or genetic manipulation and stone-milled the old-fashioned way, this flour preserves the grain’s full flavor, aroma, and nutrients.

Bagged in cotton, and never fortified, bromated, or bleached.

This is grain your ancestors would recognize.
    With a protein content around 12–13%, Turkey Red flour performs beautifully in sourdough and yeast breads, offering excellent structure and a rich, nutty flavor. Because it’s a heritage grain that’s traditionally stone milled, it retains more bran and germ (adding nutrients, depth of flavor, and a naturally golden hue) relative to the common bleached and finely milled flours many are used to today.


    Breads
    - Rustic prairie breads – dense, chewy loaves reflecting early American wheat baking.
    - Sourdough and yeast-leavened loaves – excellent for sandwich and artisan breads.
    = Dinner rolls and sandwich rolls – tender yet hearty.

    Breakfast & Porridge
    = Biscuits and quick breads – slightly nutty flavor and richer crumb.

    Savory Items
    - Pizza dough – strong gluten produces a chewy, flavorful base.

    Specialty Uses
    - Blended artisan breads – pairs well with lighter flours to balance structure and tenderness.

    Regeneratively Grown. Heritage Grains

    The wheat we eat today is vastly different from the heritage varieties our ancestors relied on. Over the last century, wheat has been bred for higher yields, disease resistance, and compatibility with industrial processing, rather than for its nutritional value or digestibility. These modern wheat varieties often contain altered protein structures, making them harder to digest. Additionally, the practice of pre-harvest desiccation, where wheat is sprayed with glyphosate right before harvest to accelerate drying, has become increasingly common. Which means glyphosate residues end up on the flour you consume, further compromising digestive health and negatively impacting gut bacteria.

    At Nourish Food Club, we preserve the traditional wheat varieties that our ancestors ate. These ancient heritage grains are not only more nutritious but also far more digestible. Our chemical-free heritage grains are cultivated with regenerative agriculture practices that work in harmony with the land, restoring soil health and biodiversity. The result is a flour that honors the past, offering superior taste, digestibility, and nutritional value - without the toxic agrochemicals.

    Pure, Unadulterated Flour

    Walk down any bread aisle, and you’ll see “enriched flour” as a staple ingredient. While it sounds positive, it actually signals a troubling process: most modern flour is stripped of its natural nutrients, and then synthetic versions are added back in. This includes iron shards (yes, real metal) and synthetic B vitamins like folic acid, which can disrupt the body’s natural nutrient balance. What's more - most commercial flour is bleached these days, which involves treating the flour with chemicals (like chlorine gas or benzoyl peroxide) to whiten it and speed up the aging process. This bleaching process not only alters the color of the flour but can also strip away some of its nutrients.

    Our heritage flour, however, is free from such artificial fortification. We believe in preserving the natural integrity of the grain, with no bleaching and no synthetic additives. Sourced from regeneratively grown heritage wheat, our flour retains all the nutrients that nature intended, providing you with a cleaner, more nutritious product.
