The main difference between hard white wheat berries and soft white wheat berries is their protein content and gluten strength. Hard white wheat berries have a higher protein content than soft white wheat berries, and they also have a stronger gluten structure. This makes hard white wheat berries better suited for bread and other baked goods that require a strong gluten structure to rise properly.Soft white wheat berries, on the other hand, have a lower protein content and a weaker gluten structure. They are better suited for making cakes, pastries, and other baked goods that require a tender crumb.In terms of flavor, both hard white and soft white wheat berries have a mild, slightly sweet flavor with a nutty undertone. The texture of the cooked wheat berries is also similar, with a chewy and slightly firm texture.
