Summary
-
- Cover of the Wheat varieties for Queensland
Bread and noodle wheats are the dominant types of wheats planted throughout Queensland and Australia. They fall into a number of classifications that have different receival standards - from Australian prime hard (APH) with high quality requirements through to feed wheats that have limited quality requirements.
Queensland conditions are conducive to the production of high-quality grain. The breeding and development of varieties reflects this. Flour milled from APH wheat is used to produce high-protein Chinese-style yellow alkaline noodles and Japanese Ramen noodles of superior brightness, colour and eating quality.
APH flour is also suitable for the production of high-protein, high-volume breads and wanton dumpling skins.
APH can be blended with lower protein wheats to produce flours suitable for a wide range of baked products.
