A rare and historic wheat variety, Sonora wheat originated in the Sonora region of northern Mexico and is one of the oldest cultivated grains in North America. Today, it is grown by specialty farmers in the U.S. and prized for its soft texture and naturally sweet, nutty flavor.
Unlike modern wheat, this heritage grain is lower in gluten strength (soft wheat), making it ideal for tender baked goods like tortillas, pastries, pancakes, and pie crusts. When cooked whole, it offers a smooth, creamy texture perfect for grain bowls, soups, and salads.
Fresh-milled, Sonora wheat produces a light, delicate flour with exceptional flavor—perfect for customers seeking traditional, minimally processed grains with deep roots in Southwest food culture.
