Three new wheat grains in test in our kitchen

We put to test three new organic wheat grains we bought: a traditional variety, a mix of old wheat grains and a modern type grain called “tigre”.
Three artisanal sourdough breads were made with each type of grain and compared by means of simply … eating them.
