In this recipe (below)i found on this site it calls for soft wheat but i am not sure what it is..and i really want to try this bread

Apricot-Almond Honey Bread
2 1/2 C soft wheat, sprouted 1 day
1/4 C dried apricots, soaked, chopped finely
2 dried slices pineapple, soaked, chopped finely
1 C raw honey
1/2 C almonds, soaked, finely chopped
1 t vanilla
1 t orange zest

Process wheat in a champion juicer with solid plate. Add apricots, pineapple, honey, almonds, vanilla and orange zest to the wheat mix well. Form into 3 loaves and dehydrate at 105 degrees for 5-6 hours, remove teflex sheet and turn bread over. Continue dehydrating for 5-6 hours or until desired moisture is obtained.

at some bulk bins, you'll notice that there are two kinds of wheat berries--"hard winter"/"soft spring". I don't know that this is what they mean, but it's my best guess.

measure twice, cut once.

The difference is in the property of the texture when used in food preparation. The hard one has more gluten and is usually preferred for baking breads. I'm not sure how much difference there is when making raw breads and other raw dishes as I've used both types and didn't notice any remarkable difference.

Wishing you vibrant health
